A unique strategy that invests in leading companies across the globe involved in the broad agricultural sector.
We believe the dynamics of the global agri sector will change radically over the next decade and beyond driven by a number of factors including:
- Growing demand for food due to:
- population growth
- changing dietary patterns as people in developing countries adopt "western" diets
- Restricted supply caused by:
- underinvestment in agriculture over the past twenty years
- climate change giving rise to more varied regional weather patterns and water stress e.g. floods, droughts, hurricanes etc.
These factors will drive global investors to focus on the opportunities presented by investing in agriculture as the sector, overlooked for decades, regains its position as a core part of the global economy.
The KBC Eco Agri Strategy invests in an internationally diversified selection of companies involved in the broad agricultural sector.
The agri portfolio also follows the sustainability theme and each of the companies in the investment universe KBCAM generates is screened to ensure they score positively on sustainability issues. It is suitable for long-term equity investors who wish to access the agri theme and the portfolio should form part of a wider globally diversified portfolio.
