SIPP holders given forestry opportunities exempt from Capital Gains tax
RE-Invest Partners today announced a collaboration with Consortium IM, leading providers of onshore investment schemes, to launch its debut Exempt Unit Trust (EUT), named RE-Forest Fund LP.
The RE-Forest Fund LP is the UK’s FIRST registered EUT for international Forestry investments enabling SIPP and SSAS holders, amongst others, to take advantage of a secondary Luxembourg SICAR fund.
The regulated Luxembourg SICAR fund will be RE-Invest Partners sole investment giving retail investors a global investment platform normally reserved for institutional investors. The investment strategy is focused on buying land and plantations within Europe, South America and Asia Pacific.
Focused solely on forest plantations, RE-Forest Fund LP will manage various tree species such as teak, conifer and eucalyptus that each respond to different commercial markets from construction to renewable energy.
Launched in response to the demand for “Hard Assets”, the environmentally responsible RE-Forest Fund aims to deliver low-risk, stable, returns of 10-12% annually via natural timber growth and harvesting, along with the greater upside of supplying raw material for biomass.
“This is the first time, that we know of, where a retail investor can access an international forestry portfolio” said Marc Hempel, CEO of Re-Invest Partners LP. He continued: “buying single plots which is way too risky for a non-professional, here they have the opportunity to invest their money within a regulated and risk controlled portfolio.”
The team is centered on over 40 years of expertise and a proven track record in cultivating and harvesting forestry supported by 25 years of experience in the financial markets. The team applies a rigorous due diligence process to identify and select professional local forest operators with proven track records to manage the various plantations.
