MyFarm is a farm syndicate investment company. It provides investors quality farm syndicate investment opportunities.
 
In the period from 1990 to 2008 returns from MyFarm syndicate farm investments have averaged >17% p.a. Returns come from ‘dividend’ or cash payments and capital appreciation on the eventual sale of the property.
 
MyFarm’s investment opportunities are carefully appraised by the company’s three Directors, Andrew Watters, Cliff King and Grant Rowan who have a wealth of experience as farm owners and award winners.
 
MyFarm investment proposals target;
  1. Quality farms  with the ideal combination of good location, soil type and climate
  2. Farms which are undervalued
  3. Farms where production can be increased by 25%
  4. Tax-efficient returns of more than 12% p.a.
 
 
Investment structure:
A MyFarm Investment is a farm business owned by two or more parties (typically 6-12). The investment is usually structured as either a Private Company, or a Limited Liability Partnership with ownership issued in proportion to the sum invested. The business will usually own the land, plant and stock and will employ a manager or sharemilker to run day-to-day activities (often the manager is also a co-investor in the business). Each business is supported by a constitution and a Shareholder (or Partnership) Agreement which defines the relationship between the investors. As an experienced facilitator, MyFarm helps ensure investor expectations are clearly outlined in the Agreement and all investors have common goals for the business, including:
  • Investment period or term
  • Decision making processes
  • Exit procedures
 
Investment returns:
The returns to investors from a MyFarm investment comprise cash returns and expected capital growth. MyFarm targets cash returns of 4% - 7% p.a. commencing after the first establishment year, and capital growth derived from property and production improvements equating to 2% - 4% p.a. above inflation. MyFarm and AGInvest have a 20-year track record of achieving 5% per annum above industry average returns.
 
What are the safeguards?
MyFarm;
  • Is integrated with New Zealand’s most experienced rural asset manager, AGInvest*
  • Focuses on quality property. Quality drives cash returns and enhances eventual sale returns
  • Investments minimise borrowings. Low debt reduces risk and maximises cash returns.
 
 
*AGInvest manages farms and assets on behalf of investment funds and farm syndicates.
