Agcapita Update: Agcapita Farmland Fund IV Conducts Successful Final Close
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, ATTENTION INVESTMENT EDITORS – April 29th,
2014 - Calgary
Agcapita is pleased to announce that Agcapita Fund IV has conducted its final
closing ending a highly successful 2014 capital raising program. Agcapita Fund
V is pending and is expected to launch in early Q3 2014. If you would like to
receive information about Agcapita Fund V when it launches please feel free to
contact us at Fund5@agcapita.com or register online at the Agcapita website.
Stephen Johnston, founder of Agcapita, a Canadian farmland investment fund,
commented "Agcapita believes that prices of Canada farmland, in particular
Saskatchewan farmland, are deeply discounted to world averages for a tonne of
productive capacity. Part of our investment premise is that this gap will close and
with the attention that Canadian farmland is receiving from investors it can
obviously happen quite quickly. It is this "margin of safety" return driver that
attracted us to Canada and Saskatchewan in the first place.”
Agcapita believes that farmland funds continue to show great appeal to
conservative investors concerned with inflation and the volatility of their existing
public equity investments. Canadian farmland has similar inflation hedging
qualities to gold but with an ongoing cash yield that gold lacks. Canadian
farmland returns have exhibited low volatility and this combined with higher
absolute returns equate to a favorable Sharpe ratio. Agcapita’s funds directly
hold diversified portfolios of farmland in western Canada, and in particular in the
highly price competitive province of Saskatchewan. Agcapita’sfund’s give
investors the benefit of a direct investment in farmland combined with a model of
front-end loaded cash rents. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment,
that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel"
will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita is one of
Canada's most experienced farmland fund managers, launching its first fund in
Q1 2008.

demand for tangible assets such as agricultural commodities and farmland will

and the differences may be material. Factors which could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things:
risks associated with the ownership and operation of farmland, including

conditions; local real estate markets; supply and demand for farmland;
competition for available farmland; weather; crop diseases; the price of grain and
other agricultural commodities; changes in legislation and the regulatory
environment; and international trade and global political conditions. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking information
contained in this news release (if any), which is given as of the date it is
expressed herein. Agcapita's undertakes no obligation to update publicly or
