Forestry assets are characterized by their relative stability and lower risk profile. The biological growth of trees provides flexibility to defer harvesting in order to capitalize on more favorable pricing environments, there by supporting asset appreciation and enhancing intrinsic value over time.
As a real asset, forestry investments tend to exhibit a positive correlation with inflation, functioning as a natural hedge in rising price environments and helping to preserve the purchasing power of invested capital.
Forestry as an asset class plays a significant role in the conservation and restoration of native vegetation and biodiversity, promoting carbon sequestration, enhanced ecosystem services, and positive social outcomes. In addition, forest management practices adhere to rigorous international certification standards, with operations aligned with globally recognized sustainability performance frameworks.
Vinci Compass Lacan has a consolidated strategy in the forestry sector, based on uncorrelated assets that have remained virtually unscathed during market crises over the years. This long-term approach ensures stability, security, and predictability for investors, even in adverse scenarios.
The four forestry funds cover over 130,000 hectares in various regions of Brazil, with species such as eucalyptus and pine, in addition to areas designated for preservation. They serve diverse end markets, including pulp, biomass, and panels, which diversifies buyers and mitigates risks associated with market concentration.
Strategic partnerships with leading companies in the forestry sector ensure long-term wood sales contracts. With a sustainable approach and responsible practices, the funds promote certified forest management, positively impacting the environment and delivering consistent returns for investors.
