Can forestry compete with manufacturing and agriculture for scarce capital or is investment in forestry attractive only when non-economic considerations--for example, the social desirability of forestry investments--are taken into account? Addressing this question, the contributors to this book assess the market for forestry products in the short- and long-term future; examine the competition between agriculture, cities, and forestry for use of land; identify strategies that private, industrial, and public investors might adopt; and look at the effects of government policies on private investors.

Common stock. Corporate bonds. Stock mutual funds. Call and put options. Commercial and residential real estate. Municipal bonds. These and others are the alternatives many individual and institutional investors consider when constructing their investment portfolios. This is the first book to investigate how another investment alternative--timberland--can fit into the portfolios of individuals and such institutions as pension funds. Timberland supplies the basic raw material for a critical global industry--forest products. Timber can be managed economically as a renewable crop on hundreds of millions of acres in the United States. Given the forces supporting conservation of forests in their natural state on many public and some private lands in the Unites States and other nations, there is increasing pressure on the remaining privately owned forests to supply the needed timber output. This represents an opportunity for patient, long-term investors. Using insights and graphic examples supplied by experienced institutional investors, professional foresters, forestry and financial researchers, and others, the authors address such questions as the following: How do timberland's investment characteristics compare to those associated with other portfolio alternatives? In addition to direct investments in forests, in what other ways can investors participate in the timberland market? Can the addition of timberland to some investors' diversified portfolios improve overall performance? What personal financial planning goals can be served by timberland? What acquisition, forest management, and sale strategies can be adopted by individual and institutional investors so that objectives are better achieved? In the course of addressing such questions, the authors attempt to bridge the communications gap between the investment and forestry communities. The authors provide valuable perspectives not only for individual and institutional investors, but also for personal financial advisors; forestry practitioners, policymakers and researchers; and students of forestry, real estate, and investments.

Investments in industrial-scale planted forests have grown exponentially in recent years and are included into investment portfolios for various reasons (e.g. diversification, risk mitigation, attractive returns). The rapid growth of planted forests may incur negative social and environmental impacts. Thus, investment companies and fund managers are increasingly interested in using sustainable and responsible investment (SRI) tools (e.g. standards, guidelines, and codes of conduct). However, a classification system for SRI tools in the field of planted forests still lacks consensus.

A forestry investment can include land suitable for growing trees, the trees themselves, or both. Forestry has long provided opportunities for institutional investors but the scope for this investment remains limited. Forestry investment can offer financial and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) benefits. However, challenges to investing in forestry are significant particularly in emerging markets, which is also where reforestation, afforestation, and sustainable forest management is most needed. Currently, there is a lack of both knowledge about and interest in the forestry asset class. This report addresses this by detailing the nature of forestry investments, explores the case for investing in forestry, explains the mechanics of forestry investments, and highlights some of the challenges. The report concludes that the time is right to support broader involvement by pension plans in forestry investments globally.

This guide has been prepared to assist forest managers and planners in the use of economic analysis techniques. It uses simplified analytical methods, hands-on exercises, and two case studies to provide a working understanding of the principles and techniques of financial and economic analyses. Topics covered include: the unique characteristics of timber production; the time value of money and cash flows; different series of cash flows (present and future values); decision criteria such as payback period, rate of return, net present value, cost-benefit ratio, equivalent annual income, and annual rent; applications of criteria to single stand level decisions and to forest-wide decisions; special topics, including recent developments in discounting theory; and accounting for perspectives from private enterprise, the public sector, and society as a whole. The appendix contains two case studies on jack pine thinning and regeneration.

How to finance sustainable forest management (SFM) has been a question of perennial interest and concern for the forestry community. It has been estimated that the required funding for SFM is in the order of US$70-160 billion per year globally. At present, official development assistance disbursements to forestry cover about 1 percent of the estimated total financing needs for SFM, and other available public sector financing sources barely double that amount. To scale up SFM, to create value-added economic growth and employment and protect forests from competing unsustainable land uses, domestic and foreign private financing and investments need to increase significantly.Despite the importance of the private sector, information on private forest financing is scarce and inadequate at all levels. Studies related to finance flows in the private sector have begun to emerge in recent years, and data of varying quality--especially on international private investments in wood processing--have become available in selected public statistics. However, there is no coordinated and systematic effort to collect and synthesize information on private investment flows in the forest sector. Also, none of the ad hoc studies have tried to provide a comprehensive, global picture of these flows. The objective of the study is to provide updated, comprehensive information to inform global dialogue on the role of private financing for SFM, including forest plantation development, and to the production of forest products. This report (i) reviews what private forest sector financing data are available, (ii) provides a snapshot of different financing flows in the forest sector, (iii) improves our understanding of challenges related to forest financing, and (iv) presents a roadmap for better information and improved access to finance. The scope of the report is forestry and forest industry investments in developing and emerging countries, with more focus on foreign direct investment than on domestic investments, mainly due to data constraints. The target audience includes the national governments in developing countries, donor agencies, international finance institutions with particular reference to the World Bank Group, other stakeholders of the United Nations Forum on Forests, and other forest finance practitioners.
