Our Performance
Returns for calendar year 2008 for all of AAGIM’s portfolios (except for our “in development” portfolio) averaged over 10%. Despite the Global Financial Crisis and most global indices experiencing major losses, agricultural investments managed by AAGIM maintained a steady return.
This outcome reinforces our view that agriculture is NOT correlated to mainstream asset classes, and offers alpha defensive performance when other major asset classes are falling. Agricultural investments should be part of every balanced portfolio.
AAGIM sources investments which meet our clients’ investment criteria, particularly the sustainability of returns, strength of capital appreciation, ease of management and capacity for profitable exit.
