Timberland as an Asset Class Attracts Global Interest, As More TIMOs are Based Outside US

BOSTON, Oct. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- While Timberland Investment Management Organizations (TIMOs) have historically been US-based, more than 40% of the top TIMOs are now based outside North America. For 2017, the sector's top event recognizes this trend by meeting outside the US for the first time. The 4th Annual Forest Investment Conference comes to London on May 4-5, 2017, organized by RISI, the leading information provider for the global forest products industry, in conjunction with DANA Limited.
The Forest Investment Conference program offers actionable analysis and networking opportunities for timberland owners, investors, and money managers representing every major global market.

Recognized independent authorities on timberland investing, including Bob Flynn of RISI and Dennis Neilson of DANA, will also share their insights.
