Details
The Alternative Investment Forum is returning for the 9th year in London to bring together a diverse range of investors, funds and service providers; for a dynamic two days of 1:1 meetings and in-depth presentations on the latest market trends in timberland and agriculture investments.
With key themes including sustainable and impact investing, the impact of climate change and liquidity risks. The dual focus on timber and agriculture enabled investors to discover the complementary role these assets can play in a portfolio and to spot the best ventures available in both.
The 2017 programme aims to stay abreast of the latest trends and challenges of investing in this space. This allows the exploration of challenges and emerging opportunities to both diversify your portfolio and achieve healthy returns. Participants in the 2017 programme include: World Bank, FAO of the United Nations, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and many more. With efficiency and productivity at the forefront of investment opportunity, the need to share experiences, scalable success stories and new ways of investing has never been greater.
