Timberlands have other advantages as an investment vehicle for institutions seeking to diversify their portfolios. Timberlands are a renewable, non-depreciating resource, with low price volatility and the ability to market time sales to leverage price variations (i.e., leave timber to grow on the stump during weak markets).

These qualities are attractive to leading North American institutional investors who have made a significant commitment to timber investments.
