About Organisation
With the forestry asset class, you are investing in a naturally 'green' sector that also offers an attractive risk/return profile. In addition, forestry combines capital investment with aspects of sustainability, ESG, and climate protection(1) like no other asset class, and has a low correlation with other asset classes. This makes it an ideal investment for further diversifying a portfolio. Forestry investments offer institutional investors the opportunity to combine sustainability aspects, ongoing income and long-term value appreciation potential. Sustainability is not only an essential feature of the forestry asset class, but also an integral part of the investment strategy of the MEAG Sustainable Forestry Equity Fund. This is also reflected in the fact that the fund meets the requirements of Article 9 of the EU's Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR). This underlines Munich Re (Group)'s commitment to sustainability and meets the steadily growing demand for sustainable investment solutions in the institutional sector. The MEAG Sustainable Forestry Equity Fund is a closed-end alternative investment fund under Luxembourg law (Reserved Alternative Investment Fund – RAIF). ESG aspects(1) – Carefully selected investments in this asset class have a positive impact on environmental, social, and governance issues. The storage of CO2 in wood, a renewable raw material, contributes to the fight against climate change. Sustainable forest management is ensured by independent certification, which takes into account the interests of the local population and the preservation of biodiversity, among other things.
