Farmland investment manager FarmTogether has released a new study that illustrates farmland’s historical resilience in the face of financial turbulence over the past three decades, demonstrated by the asset’s stable performance since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent market turbulence.
The study, titled Farmland: A Historically Stable Asset During Uncertain Times, examines farmland’s performance in the context of several major asset classes, including equities, bonds, commercial real estate, and REITs.
“The last few years, even weeks, have been challenging to navigate from a portfolio management perspective,” said David Chan, chief client officer and head of business development at FarmTogether. “This study comes at a critical moment for those searching for uncorrelated, defensible alternatives for real capital preservation.”
