• Aligning food and finance – there is no more important investment than one that secures our food supply. Managed effectively, these investments will also generate excellent financial returns.
• Regenerative agriculture – the health of the ecosystem as a whole determines the profitability and sustainability of an agribusiness. A regenerative approach sees productivity increases (in land and livestock), cost reductions and improved profitability, and significant ongoing environmental benefits.
• Operational excellence – we only work with those agribusinesses that have a commitment to optimal performance and productivity, a continual focus on improvement, and a clear strategy for future success.
• Market driven not production driven – agricultural sustainability lies in identifying opportunities based on what the market wants rather than what we wish to produce. This requires an integrated supply model which ensures a clear pathway to market, captures margins across the supply chain, increases prices transparency and reduces volatility, and shifts focus from producing commodities to products.
• Agriculture is an intergenerational investment – successful investment in agriculture may require a long term approach; patience in creating lasting wealth and value.

Key characteristics of our agriculture industry include:

• Australian agriculture offers patient, long term investors excellent economies of scale by acquiring existing businesses and/or building a portfolio over time through acquisition and consolidation.
• Australia has an excellent history of safe and healthy food production. As an island nation, we are well isolated from many diseases prevalent elsewhere.
• We are a major global exporter of high quality agricultural commodities. With a small domestic economy and a large excess of production, Australian commodities have supplied global markets for many years and will continue to do so.
• Australia is well positioned geographically to high growth Asian and Middle East markets. As their population and GDP/capita grows, so does the demand for high quality & safe food.
• Our nation has a stable regulatory environment compared with many other countries.
• Agricultural land in Australia on a value/hectare basis is undervalued relative to other developed countries. As a result, with the right strategy and a long term approach, investors can capture value from investing in land and productivity.
• Australia’s agricultural industry is hungry for international investment. It is widely accepted that the development and growth of our agribusiness sector is contingent on new, external capital.
• Non-residents can own the land.
• We are a well-developed market developed by highly-competitive producers.

• We provide expertise and advice to local and international investors on the Australian agribusiness market and the specific areas of investment best suited to their portfolio.
• We match high net worth investors with high-performing Australian agribusinesses.
• We establish the most appropriate business model to facilitate success for both investors and agribusinesses.
• We align expectations, deliverables and outcomes between investors and agribusinesses to ensure a longstanding, mutually beneficial alliance.
• We provide comprehensive asset management services, working closely with agribusinesses to ensure the optimal performance of their asset and producing timely, reliable and relevant reporting to the investor.
• We manage the corporate governance and compliance responsibilities of the investment to minimise risk and maximise potential, and ensure investors can make decisions with confidence.
• We undertake extensive due diligence to assure investors they are fully informed.
