5 Year Leaseback

How it works:

1. You buy the trees and lease the plot for 5 years. For 1 hectare that costs € 19,000.
2. Robinia Invest will act as your management company to manage and maintain your trees. If you wish, you can choose another management company to do this for you. For 1 hectare that costs     € 3,500.
3. After 5 years, Robinia Invest buys the trees back from you for a fixed amount, as stated in the table above. Your return is then 8% per year, compounded.

The benefits of the 5 year leaseback for one hectare:

• Your entry level is lower, only € 22,500 instead of the € 28,000 for a 10 year term
• You have a fixed exit strategy after 5 years
• You have a fixed return after 5 years
• You suffer no loss should prices fall
• Forestry insurance included

Disadvantages of the 5 year leaseback:

• You don't own the land
• Your return is fixed at 8% per year compounded, you will not benefit from high price increases

Condition:

1. Robinia Invest will only buy back your trees if they have been properly managed and maintained by us or a management company of your choice. As stated above, Robinia Invest will act as your management company, unless you choose another company to do this for you.
