Timber Funds -
Give us 20k and we will make you 250 in ten years....
Highly suspicious, too good to be true I feel.
Also with these funds you get no return for the first 5 years or so....
I think if you are going to get into timber buy through an ETF or closed end 'investment trust' with low annual fees and a 'real' independent management board.
It is interesting how all the bust high expense property sales firms are now spinning timber as the great new investment in far away lands...
Stick to the ETFs and Investment Trusts as a way to get exposure to this great and uncorrelated asset.
These firms offering 'too good to be true' returns are very similar to the off plan craze of a few years ago. We know what happened there......
