A Fund Manager Philosophy

'We believe our forestry investors are entitled to the same protections, internal controls and trading options present in any other investment product. This attitude reflects a 'fund manager philosophy' unique to Forest Enterprises. The implementation of this philosophy dominates and directs all aspects of our business and stands Forest Enterprises' forestry investments apart from all others.'

Impact of a Fund Manager Philosophy

Company Investment for Limited Liability

When you invest in a Forest Enterprises forestry investment you invest as a limited liability company shareholder, not as a partner in a partnership with unlimited personal liability.

Built in Investor Protections

Our investment structure incorporates checks and balances to protect investors' interests, similar to the checks and balances found in any other professionally managed investment. These include annual independent financial and forestry audits and the extensive use of a professional trustee company to oversee the investment and hold investors' money until required for authorised expenditure. 

Comprehensive Investor Reporting

Our investors receive detailed Annual Reports which include analysis of the last year's expenditure to budget and set out the expenditure for the coming year. We also publish comprehensive Progress Reports at key points in the life of each investment setting out the 'bigger picture' of the forest's development to date and updated future projections. All investors receive our Newsletter on national, international and company information of interest 3 times a year. 

Secondary Market for Liquidity

Investors' circumstances change over time and therefore being able to sell an investment is most important. This why we operate a secondary market and support this market with regularly updated indicative valuations and projections plus encourage buyer interest using various marketing initiatives.
