Launching the African Agricultural Land Fund

Having succesfully launched the African Agricultural Land Fund in Q4 2008, Emergent is pleased to announce that the next subfund will be launching in Q2 2010.

The Fund brings together the key themes of agriculture/food security, Africa, socially-responsible investing (SRI) and economic sustainability, purchasing and managing a wide spectrum of agricultural properties across the sub-Saharan region, with investments diversified across both geographically and across agricultural sectors - including crops, biofuels, livestock, game farming and timber. Returns, based on those successfully acheived through a 4-year pilot project, are projected to be approximately 30% per annum over the Fund\'s 5-year term.

Interested investors are invited to contact the Head of Marketing, Paul Christie (paul@eaml.net), for more information. Please note that the minimum investment size is €500,000 for private investors and €5m for institutional investors.
