Equities are the best long-term investment right? Are you sure? An historical analysis of forestry investment risk and returns will probably make you change your mind! With much talk of asset bubbles and negatively yielding bonds, it's not an easy time for actuaries to be looking for good investment returns. Furthermore, the risks within the financial system are arguably much higher than normal from the various quantitative and qualitative easing programmes by central banks around the world.

But there is an asset class which seems to have gone unnoticed, which is both likely to provide good investment returns and also likely to have anti-fragility when it comes to the risks that might arise from systematic problems in financial markets. That asset class is forestry.

The presentation will provide materials to educate the potential investor to enable them to prudently invest in forestry - and at the same time to create environmental, economic and social benefits for their country and the wider world. In short the presentation will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about forestry investment but might have been afraid to ask.

Find out more on September 28th.
