Dear All,

We are currently suffering greater economic and financial uncertainty than at any time since the Second World War. Some experts recommend buying shares, some of which have fallen so low that their yields are attractive; but others say that share prices have much further to fall.
Others recommend buying corporate bonds, which have also fallen steeply so they now offer good returns; but if the company goes bust, bond-holders are likely to get little or nothing back. In the returns on savings accounts have fallen almost to zero.
An investment in farmland can provide a steady stream of income and capital gains due to the increasing global demand for agricultural commodities, driven by the rising world population, rapid growth in emerging markets, and continued demand for ethanol and bio-fuels.

Demand for agricultural commodities is outpacing supply, which positions farmland for long-term appreciation.We believe that now is an excellent time to invest in farmland due to the compelling fundamentals of agriculture, the inflation hedge farmland provides, the bottoming of land prices, and the stable return profile.
All the Best

Regards

Tony Meldal-Johnsen
 

November se brief

Beste almal,

 Ons is tans lyding groter ekonomiese en finansiële onsekerheid is as op enige tydstip sedert die Tweede Wêreldoorlog. Sommige kenners beveel om aandele te koop, waarvan sommige so laag gedaal het dat hulle opbrengste is aantreklik, maar ander sê dat aandeelpryse het veel verder te val.

Ander raai korporatiewe effekte te koop, wat ook geval het, sodat hulle nou steil goeie opbrengste bied, maar as die maatskappy gaan bors, verband-houers is waarskynlik min of niks terug te kry. In die opbrengste op spaar rekeninge geval het byna tot nul.

'n Belegging in landbougrond kan' n bestendige stroom van inkomste en kapitaalwins gevolg van die toenemende globale vraag na landboukommoditeite, gedryf deur die stygende wêreldbevolking, vinnige groei in ontluikende markte verskaf, en voortgesette vraag na etanol en bio-brandstof.

Vraag vir landboukommoditeite is hoër as aanbod, wat vir 'n lang-termyn appreciation.We landbougrond posisies glo dat dit nou' n uitstekende tyd om te belê in landbougrond te danke aan die dwingende beginsels van die landbou, die inflasie verskans plaasgrond bied, die Laagtepunt van grondpryse, en die stabiele opbrengs profiel.

Ales van  die beste

Groete
