Forests soothe the mind. For investors, forests also offer an excellent place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of international markets. The OP-Forest Owner special common fund offers access to returns from timber sales and an excellent way to diversify investments in an asset class that ignores the ups and downs of stock markets.
OP-Forest Owner is the largest special common fund in Finland that focuses on forest assets. At the same time, it is one of the largest forest owners in the country, with a total of 130,000 hectares of forest. The fund's returns are generated from timber sales in particular. in addition, returns are sought from the refining of forest estates and zoning. Forest management and timber sales are handled by professionals, making the fund accessible to investors without experience in forest investments. Please note that funds cannot be withdrawn from the fund on a daily basis. The fund's sell orders are executed twice a year and buy orders four times a year.
The fund's objective is to make sustainable investments that mitigate the impacts of climate change, protect biodiversity, and improve human wellbeing. In sustainable forest investment, the growth rate of trees outpaces logging volumes, increasing the forest as a carbon sink. Logging takes into consideration threatened species and marine conservation and leaves a part of the forest protected. Additionally, it is ensured that forests are available to the public for recreation under the freedom to roam.
