Brazil Property development plots offer Good investment option claims AAA

With increasing amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI), coming into Brazil, now could be a great time to invest in property built on new plots of land in the South American country.

Boston, MA, December 11, 2012 – With increasing amounts of foreign direct investment (FDI), coming into Brazil, now could be a great time to invest in property built on new plots of land in the South American country, which are being made available to foreign real estate investors, Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has claimed.

The alternative investment advocacy group has said that investors looking to make the most of the ongoing strong economic conditions in Brazil should invest in land there. “A number of plots of prime land are being opened up in Brazil to foreign property investors,” claimed AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson.

“With the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics coming to Brazil in the next four years, growth is likely to continue and investors could see some really great returns if they invest in real estate there.”

A recent report by Ernst & Young Terco stated that foreign direct investment into Brazilian real estate has reached as much as R$10 billion this year. The investment has been stimulated by the Accelerated Growth Program, which has received plenty of attention form investors looking for ways to diversify their portfolios. The project involves improving the country’s infrastructure to help prepare for these vents, as well as to help house the hundreds of thousands of people moving into urban areas for work.

Speaking to Property Wire, Knight Knox International’s property consultant Mike Sefton, said that the plots offer great locations, planning permission and very reasonable prices to those who are considering building homes in Brazil as an investment.

Real estate investment is becoming increasingly attractive, particularly in emerging economies like Brazil, China and India, where a growing number of homes are needed to house workers and their families in urban areas.

AAA supports alternative assets like real estate and is also behind foreign investment in Brazil in general. “Forestry is a major source of ethical investment opportunities in Brazil,” added Mr Johnson.

Reports of Increased Timber Prices Welcomed by FRA

Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has highlighted the news from the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) that the prices paid for its exported timber products are up by five per cent year-on-year.

Bainbridge Island, WA, October 08, 2012 – Forestry Research Associates (FRA) has highlighted the news from the Malaysian Timber Council (MTC) that the prices paid for its exported timber products are up by five per cent year-on-year.

“This is great news for timber investors, as it suggests demand for timber is up and prices could rise globally,” stated FRA’s analysis partner Peter Collins. The chief executive officer of the MTC, Cheah Kam Huan, explained that the majority of the growth has been measured in the second half of the year so far. He explained that the first half saw prices that were less favourable but that demand from the US and elsewhere, particularly for timber furniture, was driving prices up in the past few months.

Speaking at the International Conference on Market Requirement for Timber and Timber Products, Mr Cheah said, “Hopefully, the second half would be better than the first half. So far, it is showing good results.” In fact, exported timber furniture prices increase by an impressive 12 per cent so far this second-half.

In addition to this good news came further positive noises from US–based International Wood Products Association, Brent McClendon, who added that the value of hardwood plywood imports to the UK from Malaysia so far this year had increased by 70 per cent.

FRA said that the reports that timber demand from the US was rising was great news for timber investors everywhere. Mr Collins added, “We can see demand for timber continuing to rise from the US, due to the improvements in the housing market.”

FRA supports a range of timber investment schemes and supports sustainable plantations investment projects like those run by firms like Greenwood Management and Ethical Forestry Investment in Brazil and elsewhere.

“Sustainably managed plantation timber is a good investment option for those looking to diversify their portfolios.” added Collins.
