Investment In Agriculture
Global population growth, a changing climate and rising household incomes in emerging markets are putting pressure on the world’s most critical resource – food. For more than 10 years we’ve combined farming expertise, investment management discipline and a deep understanding of global commodities markets ‘in-house’, to become one of Australia’s largest diversified farmers and a major investor in Brazilian agriculture. Looking across countries, climatic regions, commodity types and target markets, our team of agriculture specialists selectively acquires and actively manages prime farmland to create sustainable large scale, diversified farming enterprises to feed a growing population.
Today, AXT Finance and its managed funds responsibly invest in and operate 4.7 million hectares of farmland – producing red meat, grains and oil seeds.
As one of the most anticipated economic news events of the months, Integrated Binary Finance Services focus mainly on currency pairs(especially those involving the U.S. Dollar) and typically see big price movements in the minutes and hours after the data is released. This makes it a great opportunity for our traders with a sound strategy to take advantage of the volatility.
What Is Included
We understand that farmland is best managed by people on the ground, not overseen from afar. That’s why we invest in people – working in partnership with experienced farm management teams located at each property to understand their crops and livestock, their weather conditions and local markets. Employing more than 450 people in rural communities, we equip our farming businesses with best practice land management techniques, technology and infrastructure to improve quality and yield, whilst reducing their environmental impact.
Why Invest In Agriculture
An allocation to agriculture can provide many benefits to a portfolio. The most important is diversification. Agriculture has historically had a low or negative correlation with other asset classes, both traditional and alternative. The majority of agriculture , which is farmland, is linked to produce. People are always going to need food and so agriculture prices will not necessarily move in the same way as financial markets.
Finding good cover from inflation can be challenging enough for the average investor. Add market volatility and near-zero interest rates into the mix, and this task gets significantly harder. Savvy investors usually seek shelter by way of inflation-hedged investments. Essentially, these investments can provide a position that is either less affected or positively affected by inflation than your usual market pick.
Making sure you have a diverse portfolio is one of—if not the—most well-known piece of financial advice around. The more you vary your investment types and industry sectors, the less likely you are to get hit too hard with any singular investment. That said, there’s much more to diversification than that.
High-yield investments have a solid position in almost every portfolio. Long-term performance is great, but holding an asset that can deliver consistent yearly income is even better. AXT Finance stable performance, built-in demand, and inflation-proof attributes have make it a great option for investors who want a high-yield asset.
