Commentary

Agriculture Commentary - 1Q 2013

Natural Gas
We are at the forefront of a shift in energy usage that should have pervasive long term global ramifications. Technological advances and new drilling techniques have unlocked vast North American natural gas reserves which allow for investments in the infrastructure necessary to satisfy demand both domestically and abroad. An abundance of gas will help the U.S. transition away from dependence on foreign oil and also provide a bridge towards a future of cleaner energy. The development of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminals will help globalize the North American natural gas market and have an impact on price and consumption worldwide.

Water
Although it doesn't produce the constant headlines like other commodities these days, water is irrefutably the most essential natural resource to human survival. A basic comparison of an individual's nominal monthly water bill and the relatively low per unit rates versus their electric bill suggests on the surface that the fresh water supply is well beyond that of the aggregate world demand. However, available fresh water is less than ½ of 1% of all of the water on Earth and various trends are constantly driving the supply of fresh water lower and the demand for fresh water higher at increasing rates. There will be significant worldwide implications as water scarcity issues become both more frequent and widespread.

Timberlands
We see timberlands as an attractive long-term investment opportunity. U.S. housing market weakness over the last 5 years has depressed demand for timber end-markets as well as the equity valuations of producers. Although the housing and commercial construction markets have yet to rebound, we believe there are a number of compelling reasons to invest in timber companies now.
