About Us Client Resources Investment Strategy Timberland Management

Disposition Procedures 
 
FIA has years of experience detecting unique opportunities to improve earnings through timely land sales. Sales are "triggered" when the return from selling is substantially higher than the projected return from holding for timber production. Successes in this area have enhanced returns and improved the quality of clients’ portfolios. For example, FIA has sold several small parForest Investment Associatescels at rates of return far exceeding portfolio target returns. The knowledge required for consistently sound decisions on when, where and how to sell is a major advantage of the services provided by FIA. Timberland portfolio managers, who are all graduate foresters with extensive business experience, regularly look for land sale opportunities. As an aid to the sale decision, they analyze the projected future cash flows of the property, including expenses and timber sale income under a range of timber price assumptions. As a general rule, properties are sold when net sale proceeds are greater than the present value of estimated future cash flows.
