Growth Farms recognises that Australian annual cropping and grazing farmland, when well managed and held over long periods of time, has proven to be a unique asset class that has delivered superior returns with relatively less risk and low correlation to traditional asset classes, adding overall diversification to most portfolios. Investors globally can access Australian agricultural assets through a range of Growth Farms investment opportunities, from tailored portfolio construction to complete end-to-end management solutions.

Deployment Models

There are two models available to investors, active (buy and operate) or passive (buy and lease)

Buy and Operate 

  • Opportunities to change use, develop and improve productivity 
  • Higher return on land due to infrastructure development 
  • More volatile due to direct exposure to operational risks

Buy and Lease 

  • Assets are leased to third-party operators 
  • Offers stable cash returns with lower risk 
  • Portfolio and tenants are managed by Growth Farms

Our Products

Separately Managed Accounts

The separately managed account (SMA) option provides investors with a superior level of control and customisation. It is designed for those seeking 100% ownership of their farmland investments, along with income and capital growth from a diversified or single-asset portfolio.

Growth Farms will identify, purchase and manage the farmland assets on behalf of the investor.

Funds

Institutional and high-net-worth investors can buy units in a high-quality and diverse portfolio of Australian agricultural assets through a farmland fund product managed by Growth Farms.

The focus is sustainable income and capital growth along with diversification across livestock, irrigated and dryland crops. The income and growth targets are delivered with moderate levels of volatility compared to other asset classes such as direct equities.
