CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--XA Investments LLC ("XAI"), an alternative investment firm that focuses on the US and UK closed-end fund markets, has published a new white paper, titled “Reframing Farmland as an Investment: A Compelling Opportunity in an Inflationary Environment.” The white paper details the investment characteristics of farmland, an asset class that has not been broadly accessible until recently.
The U.S. farmland market represents a significant and growing market for investment with a total value exceeding US$2.9 trillion according to the USDA as of 2020. Farmland investments can improve portfolio diversification because they are real assets, which traditionally have negative correlations to stocks and bonds. Farmland has historically exhibited a positive correlation with inflation and should therefore be considered an effective inflation hedge.
