S.T.A.F® A unique investment approach

At LATIFUNDIUM we value the forest and are passionate about enriching it every day: We see, respect and feel the trees and the soil, and day by day we understand better how to best do justice to the forest in its place

The conservation and development of a forest is a complex system involving individual trees, plants, mammals, birds and microorganisms. It becomes even more complex if this ecosystem is to serve an economic benefit. That's why we created S.T.A.F.®

S.T.A.F® is the foundation of our business model; every action, strategy, and decision must be founded on S.T.A.F.®

Anchor 2

S. T. A. F. ® brings together all the necessary tools to make our investments successful - by combining:

- Future through science (SCIENCE)

- Tradition (TRADITION) as a responsible approach to our heritage and respect for nature

- Present through the art (ART) of forest management

- Finance (FINANCE) as the ability to accurately model current and future returns

I leverage my quantitative skills and experience to craft optimal asset & portfolio compositions maximising financial returns & positive environmental impact

Head of Transaction & Portfolio Management

SCIENCE

Forestry is a science

Forest science builds on basic subjects such as biology, chemistry and statistics and is connected to practice through a high level of relevance to business administration, logistics, ecology and environmental policy

Due to climate change and society's increasing demands on the forest, forestry has to constantly adapt to scientific knowledge

At Latifundium we are passionate about these challenges and work closely with various scientific organizations to stay at the cutting edge of science and technology

Modern, IT-supported forest management helps us to make robust, reliable and future-oriented decisions

TRADITION

Forestry is tradition

In Europe, for centuries, forests have belonged to families who have known how to respect and preserve the natural ecosystem of the forest

From childhood, the rule was that one is not the owner, but the guardian of the family heritage

All important decisions are therefore linked to living up to the resulting responsibility towards the ancestors, as well as towards the living generation and the descendants in the management of the forests

This includes:

I was raised to be a steward of the land for the next generation

I am passionate about promoting positive environmental impacts while raising living standards through sustainable development

Maximilian Graf von Maldeghem
Founder

Forest management is not just about managing people. Throughout all these years, the forest has taught me to be humble. Each forest is unique, managing, developing and preserving it requires the deepest passion and understanding of the complexity of the entire ecosystem

Max Freiherr von Eltz Rubenach

Co-founder and Asset Management Director

ART

Forest management is an art

The forests that we look after are very diverse

As a result, their management also requires different approaches, as do local traditions, cultural and ethical expectations, the average property size and the supporting structures

Climate and environmental changes often make situations unique

Forestry must be seen not only as a science but also as an art

FINANCE

We are convinced that investing in forestry is an investment in progress

We also believe that investors are making a contribution to solving the world's greatest challenges

It's about doing business in a better way and creating a momentum that encourages more and more people to invest in ESG compliant projects like sustainable forestry

"Wood investments pique my interest because they combine high ESG-ratings with financial performance. As the owner of a wood processing company, I strive to create precise financial models to protect and grow our clients' wealth."

Head of Finance & Partner
