Q&A: Building Long-Term Value Through Global Timberland
In this Q&A, Jeff Zweig, Partner, Vice Chair and Head of Natural Capital at Fiera Comox, outlines how disciplined asset selection, active management and a strong focus on sustainability can support durable returns and long-term outcomes aligned with a wide range of investor objectives.
Our Global Sustainable Timberland strategy is predicated on building a diversified portfolio of high-quality, privately owned timberland assets globally. Central to this is our focus on timberland properties that demonstrate a history of production, are located in stable geographies and where the forests are predominantly softwood. With these attributes, we believe the strategy is undoubtedly ‘core’ from a risk perspective. That being said, we take an own-and-operate approach, leveraging the deep industry experience of the Fiera Comox team to improve economic and sustainability outcomes. The value-add initiatives pursued through this active management make the strategy ‘core plus’ from a returns perspective.
