Abstract EN
An analysis of Canadian farmland risk and its return on investment shows that a Farmland Real Estate Investment Trust (F-REIT) and gold would have significantly enhanced portfolio performance over the past 35 years.
Investors who desire low-risk portfolios would not have benefited from an F-REIT or gold investment.
However, investors in the medium-risk category could have improved the financial performance of their portfolios by including an F-REIT investment rather than gold.
The financial gains from F-REIT result from a level of risk that is lower than gold, REITs, and stocks, an expected yield that is greater than for bonds, and a low correlation with other financial asset returns.
