Investing

In recent times many clients have been asking for alternative investments to be added to their investment portfolio – investments that offer the opportunity of good returns while behaving very differently to other types of investments. One of the investments identified is the export-driven agribusiness sector, an attractive alternative investment, particularly for high income earners.

A new asset class

Although a relatively new asset class in Australia, (the opportunity to invest in agribusiness has developed in Australia over the past thirty to forty years), the managed agribusiness investment sector is well-recognised and established in the United States. In the US, well over $2 billion is invested in this sector each year by individuals through mutual and pension funds.
