General risks to take into account when investing in Farmland
Economic downturns and market fluctuations can significantly reduce returns and affect rental income, property values, and dividend payments. 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 values. Government-related risks, including taxation and legislation, can affect financial performance and investment returns. Incorrect asset valuation can negatively impact the strategy return.
