Veripath releases whitepaper on “Portfolio Construction Using Canadian Farmland Allocations”

Veripath Farmland Partners (“Veripath”) is pleased to release its “Portfolio Construction Using Canadian Farmland Allocations” whitepaper.

CALGARY, AB, CANADA, December 2, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Veripath Farmland Partners (“Veripath”) is pleased to release its “Portfolio Construction Using Canadian Farmland Allocations” whitepaper.

Highlights reveal the following based on a 30-year analysis of Canadian farmland performance:

• Farmland holdings would have improved the financial performance of the typical investment portfolio;
• The realized volatility of farmland over this period was lower than stocks;
• The realized return on farmland over this period was greater than bonds;
• Farmland provided a low correlation to traditional financial asset returns;
• Domestic institutional investors are under-invested in farmland relative to efficient frontier analysis.

“In the current ZIRP environment [zero interest rate policy], institutional investors are increasingly looking to less traditional asset classes to generate returns. Our latest research report supports the conclusion that farmland investments materially improve portfolio performance,” said Veripath Partners managing director Stephen Johnston.

Who is Veripath: Veripath is a Canadian alternative investment firm. Members of Veripath’s management team have decades of farmland, private equity, and private credit investment experience. Veripath currently manages approximately 90,000 acres of Canadian farmland across its active portfolios. Fact sheets can be found here – www.veripathfarmland.com/investors. Veripath believes that there are a number of factors that are supportive of the Canadian farmland investment premise, a few of which are highlighted below.

Value: Canada has some of the most competitively priced farmland in the developed world – particularly on a productivity adjusted pricing basis.

Diversification: Farmland exhibits low correlation to traditional stock/bond investments so can improve portfolio risk diversification.

ESG: Western Canadian zero-till portfolios capture material amounts of carbon.

Inflation Hedging: Farmland has historically had strong inflation/stagflation hedging capabilities and outperformed in real terms during periods of low real rates/high inflation.

Demand: Farmland is a non-volatile way to capture the anticipated incremental demand coming from population growth and growing demands for food, feed, fuel and water globally.

Veripath divides the Canadian market into two separate geographies of ~84M acres each in order to streamline and simplify farmland ownership regulatory compliance. Veripath Farmland (UR) LP invests in all of Canada (excluding SK and MB) and Veripath Farmland LP invests just in SK and MB. The two sister Funds have the same terms and fee structures.
