Sustainable forestry investment is not only a stable and predictable addition to a portfolio, but it has outperformed the S&P index every year since 1910.

Forestry investments form the only asset class in existence that has gone up in three out of the four major market collapses of the 20th century. Better still, timber investment (especially in tropical hardwood) offers a substantial degree of protection against inflation. MPP has pieced together some interesting land package deals and now uses the land to plant the Aquilaria tree.

Malaysia is a ideal location for investors considering forestry and plantation investments. Compared to its neighbours, the country benefits from:

Political stability
A strong dollar-linked currency
The Malaysian Ringgit is a "petro-currency"
Reliable, transparent UK-style Land Registry
Clear and accurate geographical mapping unlike Thailand, Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam.
Clean, sold legal titles
The Malaysian peninsular is world centre of hardwood trading
Extensive plantation management skills
Ideal climate
Advanced scientific forestry research
