Our forestry investments are fully tax deductible
Click here to find out more
If you’re looking to minimise your clients’ tax this year, why not consider Great Southern’s forestry investments? Unlike a margin loan or capital protected product, up to 100% of the investments are tax deductible* and they can be up to 10 times more tax effective in the first year, based on the capital invested. Plus they are weakly correlated to traditional assets which may help to diversify a portfolio.
As the world grows it needs a greater supply of wood products, such as paper and furniture, however declining native forests and a global crackdown on illegal logging is restricting supply.
Luckily, Great Southern’s forestry investments provide a renewable and sustainable resource.
They also provide expected returns from diversified income points and have been carefully structured to minimise downside risk.
Great Southern is Australia’s largest agribusiness investment manager and forestry company. It manages more than $2 billion on behalf of over 40,000 investors.
Forestry forms the largest part of its business and it has completed the plantation cycle from planting through to harvest. It is also in Australia’s top 5 commodity producers for beef cattle, wine grapes, olives, almonds and poultry.
Great Southern is an S&P ASX/200 company and is distinguished by a strong balance sheet and extensive land holdings.
