Reinvest Partners has announced a collaboration with Consortium IM, leading providers of onshore investment schemes, to launch its debut Exempt Unit Trust (EUT), named RE-Forest Fund LPP.
The RE-Forest Fund LP, is the UK’s FIRST registered EUT for international Forestry investments enabling Sipp and Ssas holders, amongst others, to take advantage of a secondary Luxembourg SICAR fund.
The regulated Luxembourg SICAR fund, also managed by RE-Invest Partners, gives retail investors a global investment platform normally reserved for institutional investors. The investment strategy is focused on buying land and plantations within Europe, South America and Asia Pacific.
Focused only on forest plantations, RE-Forest will manage various tree species such as Teak, Conifer and Eucalyptus that each respond to different commercial markets from construction to renewable energy.
Launched in response to the demand for “Hard Assets”, the fund aims to deliver stable and low risk returns (10%-12%) through an environmentally responsible portfolio.
“This is the first time, that we know of, where a retail investor can access an international forestry portfolio” said Marc Hempel, CEO of Re-Invest Partners. He continued: “buying single plots which is way too risky for a non-professional, here they have the opportunity to invest their money within a regulated and risk controlled portfolio.”
The team is centred on over 40 years of expertise and a proven track record in cultivating and harvesting forestry supported by 25 years of experience in the financial markets. The team applies a rigorous due diligence process to identify and select professional local forest operators with proven track records to manage the various plantations.
