SPONSORED: UBS Asset Management – Farmland proving resilient and durable

Farmland produces returns from appreciation as land values increase as well as income from rents paid by farmland operators. Also a portfolio diversifier, farmland is a “great untapped” investment sector, according to a Q&A with Jim McCandless and Daniel Murray, co-CIOs for farmland with UBS Asset Management, Real Estate & Private Markets, published in the October issue of Institutional Real Estate Americas. “As one of the least volatile asset classes, farmland investments show that high returns can, in fact, cor­relate with low risk. Farmland’s illiquid nature and capacity to provide strong and consistent risk-weighted returns relative to other asset classes make farmland increasingly attractive to investors,” say McCandless and Murray.
