How are fiscal/monetary conditions affecting the macro thesis for Canadian farmland investments?

Veripath Farmland Partners is pleased to announce it has launched a new private placement.

As the pandemic crisis raged across the world over the past year and a half, governments and central banks in developed countries have shown an extreme willingness to keep their economies with unprecedent levels of fiscal and monetary stimulus.

For a lot of investors trying to read the economic tea leaves, comparisons between the current environment and the stagflation pressure cooker of the 1970s might seem like a stretch.

Farmland loss has been a relatively consistent and global phenomenon.

A Canadian portfolio of farmland, raw acre weighted by province, generated a benchmark return of approximately 8% over the last decade on an unlevered basis.

Since its formal launch in mid-2020, Calgary-based Veripath Farmland Partners has rapidly grown, today reaching approximately $170 million AUM across its portfolios.

Veripath Farmland Partners LP is pleased to announce that its fund portfolios have recently finalized the purchase of approximately 10,500 acres of farmland in Alberta.

Canadian row-crop farmland investments have had Sharpe ratios materially higher than publicly traded equities and bonds over the last 30 years.
