The enduring feature of institutional investment allocations over the past 10 years has been the rise in patient capital (capital allocated to relatively illiquid investment strategies such as real assets, private equity and real estate). Against a backdrop of ever lower ‘zero risk’ yields and an ongoing search for returns and diversification, institutional interest in agriculture investment opportunities has increased.

Agriculture is far from a mainstream investment class (which is how we like it) yet we invest with high conviction into a sector that is underpinned by compelling structural fundamentals.

In this article we explore Australia’s role in feeding the world, how sector returns have fared over the past 10 years, and the operational challenges to capturing investor returns in the sector. This enables us to provide insight into Blue Sky’s strategy of investing locally rather than globally with a diversified rather than narrow sector focus.
