How Family Offices Invest in Farmland and Timberland
from Family Office Conversations with Fexingo: Wealth Management, Inheritance, and Generational Capital · host Fexingo
Episode 23 of Family Office Conversations with Fexingo explores a quiet but powerful asset class: farmland and timberland. Lucas and Luna examine why the Yale endowment model made this a core holding, how a single Iowa farm generated 12% annualized returns over 20 years, and the structural tailwind from global protein demand and carbon sequestration credits. They unpack the difference between row-crop acreage and permanent cropland, the role of water rights, and why family offices are buying New Zealand dairy farms and Chilean timber tracts. The hosts also walk through the liquidity trade-offs: a farm is not a bond. And they discuss the growing trend of pairing timberland with carbon offset programs, which can add 200 basis points to returns. A concrete look at a long-duration real asset that insulates against inflation and produces cash flow. #Farmland #Timberland #AlternativeAssets #FamilyOffice #WealthManagement #RealAssets #InflationHedge #CarbonCredits #ESGInvesting #Agriculture #Timber #NaturalResources #PortfolioConstruction #EndowmentModel #LandInvesting #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
