General risks to take into account when investing in Farmland
Please note that all investments are subject to market fluctuations.

Environmental, social, and governance events can negatively impact investment value and overall portfolio risk. Farmland investments have a low vacancy risk, but asset allocation and investment selection can affect returns. Farmland is not a liquid asset class, and external factors may also affect the liquidity of individual farms. Tenant defaults can affect returns and working capital. Currency exchange rates can impact the asset value of the Fund. Government-related risks, including taxation and legislation, can affect financial performance and investment returns. Incorrect asset valuation can negatively impact the Fund’s return.
The value of your investment may fluctuate, past performance is no guarantee for the future. Do not take unnecessary risks.

There’s a saying in Dutch, Kom verder, it means many things and it’s our business philosophy. It captures the way we work with clients but also the way we steer our investee companies to deliver shareholder value through active engagement.
Capital at risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance provides no guarantee for the future.
