Australia and New Zealand

New Forests’ investment products in Australia and New Zealand provide clients with exposure to these relatively mature timber markets with upside from carbon and other environmental assets (i.e., water and biodiversity). The investment theses centre on rationalisation of the forestry plantation sector and reforesting former agricultural properties to manage for “timber plus” – timber plus environmental assets. New Forests has a sophisticated understanding of the emerging carbon markets in both countries – the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) in Australia and the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS). Interested investors and land managers can contact New Forests.
