Executive Summary
Cambium Global Timberland Limited will seek to invest primarily in forestry assets or operations which are or can be managed on an environmentally and socially sustainable basis. The Company will seek out opportunities to gain value from certification of its forest management systems, from the commercial development of environmental products and services, and from the reduction of risk by community engagement and workforce development. Investments may be managed for timber production, environmental credit production or both. The Company will not invest in processing facilities. The Company will be a long-term investor in the countries and regions in which it invests and will therefore strive to ensure good community relations. The Company aims to establish effective policies and procedures to ensure all its investments make a positive contribution to the regions in which they are operating. The Company will seek out opportunities for enhanced environmental performance and will actively seek commercial opportunities in emerging environmental markets. The Manager believes such developments can play a role in enhanced conservation efforts for forests in a regional context and can provide new and diversified sources of revenue to investments. Returns from timberland are influenced by three factors: (i) biological tree growth; (ii) timber price changes; and (iii) changes in the value of the underlying land asset. The Company aims to establish a portfolio comprising geographically diverse assets located both in mature markets and in developing markets where potentially higher returns may be generated but with commensurately higher risk. The Company will initially target investments in North and South America and the Asia-Pacific region (including Australia and New Zealand), but may invest in other regions on an opportunistic basis, as determined by the Manager with the approval of the Board. The Company's strategy is to achieve a balance between generating income and producing superior total returns to investors by establishing an optimised portfolio of timberland properties and timberland related investments diversified by location, age class and species. Different age classes of tree will provide harvestable timber over time and diversification by region and species will provide exposure to different growth rates and different market segments. The Manager believes that this approach will maximise returns and help to control volatility and risk exposure.
