Abstract
An analysis of Canadian farmland risk and its return on investment shows that a Farmland Real Estate Investment Trust (F‐REIT) and gold would have significantly enhanced portfolio performance over the past 35 years. Investors who desire low‐risk portfolios would not have benefited from an F‐REIT or gold investment. However, investors in the medium‐risk category could have improved the financial performance of their portfolios by including an F‐REIT investment rather than gold. The financial gains from F‐REIT result from a level of risk that is lower than gold, REITs, and stocks, an expected yield that is greater than for bonds, and a low correlation with other financial asset returns.
