Timberland Ownership Trends in the USA
Timberland ownership is moving rapidly from Industry to Investors
- The consolidation of forestland ownership among wood products
companies began in the depression era and peaked in the mid
1990's.
- Since then, industrial owners, feeling pressure from
international competition, tighter margins and high levels of
debt, have been sellers of large timber holdings, thereby
monetizing and unlocking value of assets carried at cost.
- A new class of owners has emerged that has benefited from
availability of vast tracts of forestland for investment purposes.
For investors this means:
- More Activity
- More Liquidity
- More Opportunity
Summit can help investors participate in this asset class during
an exciting time.
