• Brookfield’s strategy is to invest in quality timberland assets on a value basis and actively manage them to achieve strong risk-adjusted total returns over the long term
• Brookfield focuses on investments in regions with well-established wood-consuming economies, well-capitalized domestic converting customers and/or good economic access to export markets
• Brookfield employs a comprehensive vertically integrated timberlands operating platform
• Brookfield will continue to actively review highly productive timberland assets located within attractive wood market segments in Brazil
• Brookfield leverages its significant platform in Brazil to create additional value
• Brookfield is positioned to benefit from increased domestic consumption driven by robust civil construction activity, expanding demand for new homes and the use of eucalyptus in the pig iron industry as a renewable fuel source
In executing this strategy, Brookfield draws upon more than three decades of experience investing in and operating timberlands and timberland-related investments in Brazil.
