Agcapita's Investment Thesis Confirmed by New Report

Calgary, Canada, October 25, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The findings of the report support Agcapita’s belief that farmland is a safe investment. According to the founder Stephen Johnston, “Agcapita is currently closing of its sixth farmland fund after almost a decade in the space and has over 70,000 acres in its portfolio.” Johnston believes the reason for Agcapita’s longevity is its risk reduction approach to farmland and a track record of successful exits. “Agcapita funds directly hold unlevered, diversified (operator, crop and geography) portfolios of farmland in the highly price competitive Canadian prairie provinces. Agcapita seeks to capture the returns from farmland investments in the most pure and non-volatile fashion – hence the lack of such volatility increasing features as crop sharing, input credit provisions, leverage etc. Agcapita also pursues a unique model of front-end loaded cash rents to intentionally strip out credit and operational volatility/risk from its portfolio. Agcapita’s strategy is to rely on the deep fundamental discounts in the western Canadian market to drive returns – returns which were over 15% IRR in the exits of Agcapita Fund I and Fund II and continue to be high in its unrealized portfolios.”

About Agcapita: Agcapita is one of Canada's most experienced farmland investors with a 10 year operating hisotry. Agcapita believes that farmland funds continue to show great appeal to conservative investors concerned with inflation and the volatility of their existing public equity investments. Canadian farmland has similar inflation hedging qualities to gold but with an ongoing cash yield that gold lacks. Canadian farmland returns have exhibited low volatility and this combined with higher absolute returns equate to a favorable Sharpe ratio. 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.
