The challenge of improving yield!
In today’s low interest rate environment, many investors are
looking at ways to increase the yield on their investments where
term deposits and other investments sink close to zero.
Given the current economic environment we see interest rates
staying at relatively low levels for some time. It may be time to
reconsider how you allocate your investments and include an
exposure to property alongside your cash, fixed income and
shares.
Spotlight on viticulture
The Private Land and Property Portfolio (PLPP) receives a
combination of rental income, operating income from grape supply
agreements and capital appreciation.
It currently has lease and grape supply agreements across four
vineyards situated in Marlborough, Nelson and the Hawkes Bay,
and a kiwi fruit orchard located in Kerikeri, Northland. On the
viticulture side, the lessees produce grapes for well-known brand
names Awatere, Waimea and Sileni (part of the Booster Wine
Group family of brands) as well as other well-known third parties.
The kiwifruit orchard is leased to Seeka, a publicly listed company
that offers professional orchard management services to kiwifruit
growers.
Booster has plans to upscale the Fund through further investment
across industries that meet the investment criteria.
Despite the challenges of the past 12 months, in the year ended
July 2020 the industry managed to achieve record exports totalling
$1.94 billion, up 6% on last year.
The United States continued to be New Zealand wine's largest
market with over $600m in exports, followed by the United
Kingdom with $480m and then Australia at $370m.
Wine is exported to more than 100 countries and is New Zealand's
seventh biggest export good. Sauvignon Blanc is the largest
export variety by volume and dollar value.

Vineyard property in Awatere Valley, Marlborough
This investment is in three properties situated in the Awatere
Valley being Barewood Vineyard, Upton Downs, and Flemings
Road. These vineyards have grape supply agreements (GSA) with
Booster Wine Group. The GSA structure sees PLPP take the risk
and return of crop volumes for these properties, versus a fixed
rental.
Barewood Vineyard and Upton Downs properties are yet to reach
full maturity having been developed in 2018 and 2019 and are
expected to deliver increased harvest volumes as they mature .
which results in ANZ holding a security interest over some of the assets held by the Private Land
and Property Portfolio.
