Agcapita Farmland Fund is Pleased to Announce Karim Kadry Has Joined the Investment Team

Calgary, Canada, November 14, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Agcapita Farmland Fund is pleased to announce Karim Kadry has joined the team as Investment Manager. According to Stephen Johnston, founder of Agcapita "Due to the growth in our fund we continually seek to add talented people to the team. Karim has over 15 years of international experience in the investment and financial fields. Previous to Agcapita he occupied a number of posts including the head of Investment Banking of Global Investment House's Egypt branch, the CEO of Inertia Investment Group and the Senior Vice President of Naeem Capital, the private equity arm of Naeem Holding with around USD1.5 billion of assets under management. Karim has a BSc. from Cairo University, MBA jointly from IESE School of Business and Nile University and a number of academic and professional designations including the CFA.”

Agcapita’s series of farmland funds continue to show great appeal to conservative investors concerned with inflation and the volatility of their existing public equity investments. Farmland has similar inflation hedging qualities to gold but with an ongoing cash yield that gold lacks. Farmland returns exhibit low volatility and this combined with the high absolute returns from farmland equate to a favorable Sharpe ratio. Agcapita’s funds directly hold diversified portfolios of farmland in western Canada, and in particular in the highly price competitive province of Saskatchewan. Investors are provided with the comfort of a direct investment in farmland combined with a model of front-end loaded cash rents. Agcapita is part of a family of alternative investment funds with a focus on generating commodity-linked returns. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita is one of Canada's most experienced farmland fund managers, launching its first fund in Q1 2008.
