Agricultural Farmland Investment

Agricultural Farmland Investment - it's like a combination of bonds meet land investment. Basically, you invest in a managed agricultural farmland (arable crops, biofuels & carbon credits).

With the growing demand for renewable energies and food in the World, this is a unique opportunity for investors to buy arable land. The land will be used to grow carbon offset crops, which will generate a high annual income and capital growth.


The key features of this investment are:

• 10% Guaranteed annual return (from the harvests)
• Estimated 15% to 30% annual capital appreciation on the land itself
• Freehold
• Liquidity is there: Free to sell any time at market value (after factoring the capital appreciation)
• Investment and returns can be in SGD or USD (so you can consider buying in USD now and sell in the currency that favors you in the future.)
• HSBC insured!

This may suit you quite well if you are looking at high liquidity investment.

Investment Evaluation

On Wednesday, I just met a friend telling me that he just invested in the best investment. He invested in Malaysian plantations that required him to hang on for 23 years; the investment will be giving him 8% returns per annum for the first 3 years, and subsequently 11% (and above) for the remaining 20 years.

As an Investment Strategist, I strongly believe that there is no such thing as a best investment. A best investment, based on our Investment Evaluation model, is one that fits your capital base, your risk profile, your required fund liquidity and your lifestyle and habits.

So next time, you hear your financial planners or friends telling you that theirs are the Best Investment opportunities available, do evaluate for yourself.
