TLA Convention 17 January Agenda I. IFIA: where you stand depends on where you sit. II. An economist’s view of the “problem” III. Lots of capital is available, if…. IV. Conclusions: some suggestions for Coastal BC

TLA Convention 17 January I. International Forestry Investment Advisors IFIA: “Develop and implement innovative, socially responsible timberland investment strategies for sophisticated investors” ( Current work: – Emerging markets: 2003 World Bank Conference--capital scarcity; led to Global Emerging Markets Forestry Fund. – Technology: advanced genetics, agronomy, manufacturing, renewable energy. – Capital-market arbitrage: public and private equity and debt.

TLA Convention 17 January II. An Economist’s View of the “Problem” Production depends on Natural Resources, Labour, Technology and Capital:  Natural Resources – Hembal AAC undercut – re-think 2nd growth ? Labour – skilled but aging – need for more flexibility – training for the next generation x Technology: under-investment in R&D x Capital: largely absent

TLA Convention 17 January  20+%/yr growth since 1980s  Historic Rationale: II I. Private Equity Investment: US Timberland – Strong returns: 15.3%/yr since 1987 (US; NCREIF) – Low or negative correlation with other assets – Effective hedge against unexpected inflation – A real asset Source: HTRG Research

New Zealand ($3 bn) — Global Forest Partners/Weyerhaeuser JV — Harvard + NZ SuperFund — Hancock Australia ($1 bn) — Hancock — GFP/Weyerhaeuser JV Sweden/Finland (StoraEnso spins; $3 bn?) — Tornator — Bergsvik Skog Canada ($1 bn) — Hancock — Brookfield — Wagner Latin America ($0.5 bn?)

TLA Convention 17 January IV. Conclusions: what about the Coast? Lots of capital available; abundant timber, attractive country for investment What’s needed? Reduce risk, provide opportunities! — Free trade in logs and lumber — More private, or private-like land (e.g. Australia, NZ, Malaysia) — Government indemnity vs. land claims (e.g. NZ) — Greater investment in R&D/”knowledge products” Or, just look south of the line
