Explore our latest annual newsletter that addresses market changes and trends that are shaping timberland investments.
ATLANTA, GA — As we celebrate another year of growth and success, TIR announces the release of its annual newsletter, Looking Back & Ahead.
This publication highlights the pillars of our organization—team and performance—which have driven us to deliver exceptional results, including double-digit composite returns for three of the past four years and outperforming the NCREIF Timberland Index by over 100 basis points over two decades.
In this issue, we explore emerging trends shaping the timberland sector, including increased demand for lumber driven by rising home construction, improved U.S. sawmill operating rates, and the growing contribution of timber sales income to investor returns. We also provide updates on three funds: Enhanced Timberland Opportunities IV, the Sustainable Forestry and Natural Capital Fund, and the Rural Impact Initiative. Our economist, Chung-Hong Fu, offers a framework for managing inflation through timberland investments as an effective hedge. Additionally, we delve into topics like business intelligence in forestry investments, our wetland mitigation banking initiatives.
This edition underscores our commitment to delivering insights, fostering sustainable growth, and building a legacy together with our clients and partners.
“We thank our clients and their advisors, without whose support and confidence the legacy we are building would not be possible. I trust you will gain insight from this year’s newsletter, and as always, we encourage your feedback.”
— Mark Seaman, Managing Partner, Chief Executive Officer, TIR
