There are a range of investment opportunities available, each with their own set of risks and returns. Over the years, we have seen high investor interest in rural commercial property investments, particularly from investors looking for regular income.

Commercial Property 101: What Every Farmer Should Know

For many New Zealand farmers, the rhythm of income is dictated by the land – weather, commodity prices, and global demand all play their part.

Investment Diversification for Farmers - why act now?

New Zealand farmers are no strangers to risk, with every season bringing its own set of challenges: milk payout swings, weather extremes, rising input costs, and regulatory changes, just to name a few. For decades, the strategy has been simple: own more land, milk more cows or run more cattle, and ride out the cycles. However, in the current climate, depending exclusively on dairy or sheep and beef farming leaves families vulnerable to broad, industry-wide risks that remain outside the control of even the most skilled producers.

Beyond the Farm Gate: Diversification or Expansion for NZ Farmers?

A generational shift is occurring which could see over $150 billion in rural assets change hands, making the question of how best to invest farm capital more valuable than ever. Succession, risk management, and business resilience are top-of-mind for some of New Zealand’s farming families.

At present, we have the benefit of a low exchange rate, reasonable commodity prices, falling interest rates and farm values which are probably trending up, all of which is good. But farming families with foresight are looking through these good times and planning for the long term.
