Farmland: The Next Superior Asset Class

Most investors – myself included – tend to focus the majority of their investments in assets such as stocks, bonds, and commodities. These are known as "traditional" asset classes.

But they're far from the only assets available...

On today's episode of Making Money With Matt McCall, I welcome a new guest to the show who discusses an asset class that's often overlooked. I'd bet that few of you have exposure to it in your portfolios.

But what makes this investment idea particularly exciting is the fact that it's the best-performing asset class over the past 30 years.

Artem Milinchuk is today's guest. He founded farmland investment platform FarmTogether back in 2017. Five years later, the firm boasts stakes in 44 farms and close to $200 million in assets under management.

There's massive upside potential in this industry...

Farmland saw average annual returns of 10.7% between 1992 and 2022. And it beat other classic "safe haven" assets such as gold and U.S. bonds during that time frame.

So Artem and I set our sights on the opportunities currently available in U.S. farmland.

Like any investment, there's always some risk to consider. Farmland is no different. And Artem explains the potential downside to investing in this asset.

But overall, there are many positives to owning farmland in the current environment...

There's a low correlation to most other asset classes. There's lower volatility. And the gains I mentioned above come from a combination of capital gains and income. That's an attractive feature for a lot of investors.

You absolutely do not have to be a farmer to make money off farmland.
