Our Mission
Our goal is to work with farm families and shareholders to create solutions that benefit all parties. We believe that the combination of benefits for both sides of the equation will create a long-term structure that protects the integrity of Ontario farmland for future generations.
Investing to help farmers succeed
AGinvest helps farm families grow their business, reduce debt, finance retirements and plan for succession to the next generation. The capital we provide also improves the productivity of the farm properties, reduces interest rate exposure and helps them to make effective long-term plans on matters such as land usage and equipment purchases. AGinvest’s landshare exchange program provides flexible retirement and succession planning options for farm families.
Investing to enhance farmland value
Improving and protecting the productivity of a farm is essential for long-term sustainability and value. Hence this is the cornerstone of our farmland strategy using proven farming optimization tactics.
Investing in for future gains
Ontario farmland has historically provided respectable returns with less volatility than the S&P500 and other widely followed indexes. As of December 2016, Ontario farmland has delivered an annual total return of 10.8% over a 25 year period.
Asset Return Characteristics (25 years)
Returns on farmland have been compared to various index returns for general information purposes only. Past, actual or relative performance may not be representative of future returns. Comparing farmland to other indexes may not be a fair comparison, because the risk, liquidity and other key features of the different asset classes are materially different.
