CQuest Forestry Fund

When MyFarm launched its first CQuest carbon and forestry investment in 2021, we projected an equivalent return of 6-9% p.a. over the lifetime of the investment.

In March 2025, the original CQuest investors will realise an actual return of 50% on their initial investment following the purchase of the Fund’s entire forestry portfolio by an institutional investor. The IRR return, similar to an annual return, is in excess of 16%.

This stellar result was driven by careful selection of the right properties, successful development and establishment of the forests, and professional management from our forestry partners. These factors made the purchase of the portfolio a highly attractive proposition to our buyers.

MyFarm is seeking to build on this success and is now inviting applications from wholesale investors to invest in the CQuest Forestry Fund – our latest carbon and forestry investment targeting investor returns of 9-12% p.a. over its lifetime.

• The Fund is looking to raise $7.0 - $13.6 million for the purchase and planting of up to 1000 hectares in 2025.
• It aims to expand the portfolio of forests to 2000 hectares during the next 3 years.
• The minimum investment is $50,000.

This offer is open now and closes on 30th April.

Investment Highlights

• Attractive target returns of 9-12% p.a. (calculated as the Internal Rate of Return over the investment’s lifetime).
• Dual income streams – carbon credits and timber.
• Potential for significant capital growth as the forests mature. Our management partners are skilled at purchasing well-located land with good potential for forestry. Determining factors include climatic and geographic favourability for growing trees, ease of access for forest maintenance and harvest, and proximity to ports.
• The Fund’s forecast carbon income is based on the NZ Government’s published ETS auction floor prices. If carbon prices are higher than this, every $10 change in the price of carbon credits could lead to a 3% p.a. change in forecast investor returns from years 5-17.
• Demand for timber and its by-products is expected to grow across various sectors including construction, energy supply, packaging, roading, and plastic alternatives.

The CQuest Forestry Fund is open to wholesale investors - it is not available for retail investors.
