Timberland has historically delivered low-volatility, inflation-resistant returns with a low correlation with other asset classes.1 This performance is primarily driven by the biological growth of trees and the inherent value and downside protection of productive land.2 However, realizing this performance requires active management of physical risks such as fire, pests, and extreme weather.
