Farmland Investment for Retail Investors Yields 16.2%

Online, February 16, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Boutique alternative investment firm GreenWorld BVI announced that its African Farmland Investment recently paid out its first yearly dividend of 16.2%.

Green World Partner Josh Cohne said, "We are very pleased that this investment paid out such high current income. Its a fine statement of the value of direct farmland investments for individual investors. African farmland starts from such a low price base, that introduction of western farming methods allows for substantial upside in both dividends and capital gains."

Cohne added that farmland as an investment had the following advantages for retail investors:

1) High current income when interest rates for traditional savings accounts are close to zero.

2) Very good medium to long-term prospects for capital gain due to the continued high prices of agricultural commodities.

3) An excellent hedge against inflation as central banks inevitably turn to additional printing of money in response to the global financial crisis and a possible break-up of the Eurozone.

4) Farmland provides diversification as it is not correlated to assets such as global stocks.

Cohne noted that all of its farmland investments targeted individual investors with minimum investment requirements as low as GBP1,950 (approximately US$3,200).

"Most people would think that these types of alternative investments are available only to large institutions such as hedge funds, pension funds or private equity funds. However, we are committed to bring these same types of opportunities to individual investors."

Cohne added that "all of our offerings, including our agriculture investments, are SIPP eligible for UK citizens, and are a fine way retail investors to add an asset to their portfolios which provides stability in an uncertain environment. "
