Swiss Asset Management Company Heralds New Era for Farmland Investment
ZURICH, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Land Commodities Asset Management AG, the specialist farmland investment and asset management firm, today
announced the formal launch of its new direct farmland investment brand targeted specifically at private investors.
Jeremy Miocevic, Head of Commercial and Legal Affairs, shed some light on the company's thinking: "We're living in a
polarised investment environment. There's the debate on inflation/deflation, stock market valuations and the
sustainability of the economic recovery. These are big questions and not every investor buys into the green-shoots story.
Many investors are prioritising wealth preservation, but still seeking competitive returns. Increasingly, institutional investors
are achieving this with farmland, but until now investors at the lower end of the wealth spectrum have found it difficult to
participate."
Land Commodities focuses on farmland in low-risk, developed regions with an emphasis on value, income and security.
Patrick Tobin, Head of Acquisitions, sees the current lull in market sentiment as a great opportunity to get involved, "Until
recently you couldn't switch on the news without hearing about the food crisis and booming commodity prices. One year
on, whilst investors are preoccupied by the financial crisis, population continues to increase by 225,000 people a day and
food prices are rising again despite the deflationary environment. The fundamentals are a long-term reality, so this will be a
recurring theme for many years to come."
To mark the launch, Land Commodities today released its first Global Agriculture & Farmland Investment Report
