Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the forest there's an asset class that grows
While you sleep the trees keep adding to their rows
Not just lumber that you're buying when you start
Biological growth sets timberland apart
Every season adds more value to your land
Nature's compound interest working by your hand

[Chorus]
Timberland timber grows naturally
Portfolio diversifier for you and me
Biological growth plus harvest cycles too
Alternative assets with inflation hedge for you
Trees keep growing, value flowing
Timberland investments worth your knowing

[Verse 2]
Harvest cycles span from twenty years or more
Pine and hardwood each have different time in store
When the market's down you simply wait to cut
Hold your timber till the prices leave their rut
Flexibility in timing gives you power
Choose your harvest for the optimal hour

[Chorus]
Timberland timber grows naturally
Portfolio diversifier for you and me
Biological growth plus harvest cycles too
Alternative assets with inflation hedge for you
Trees keep growing, value flowing
Timberland investments worth your knowing

[Bridge]
Low correlation with the stock market moves
When equities fall timberland often proves
Steady returns through economic weather
Real assets and financial assets together
Land appreciation plus the biological gain
Two sources of return through sun and rain

[Verse 3]
REITs and direct ownership are your ways
To access forests for investment pays
Institutional players love the steady cash
While retail investors join without the dash
Of managing the forest operations
Timberland brings portfolio foundations

[Chorus]
Timberland timber grows naturally
Portfolio diversifier for you and me
Biological growth plus harvest cycles too
Alternative assets with inflation hedge for you
Trees keep growing, value flowing
Timberland investments worth your knowing

[Outro]
From saplings small to timber tall
Alternative assets standing strong through all
Nature's growth creates your wealth
Timberland adds portfolio health
