oxigen investments Plc, London, is the global distribution and marketing arm of oxigen forestry. Based in brazil, the group has interests across South East Asia and a worldwide distribution network. Our business growing fast with investors opting for ethical Investments . We operate our own commercial timber and agricultural plantations in Brazil along with other plantations in conjunction with our sister company in Malaysia.
We are currently planting three million new trees in Malaysia. We have expanded into plantations in austraila, having recently acquired our own factory in Malaysia to supply our plantations as well as domestic and export markets.
We have the largest nursery and research centre in Asia, where we grow trees from saplings for investors. We use the latest scientific growing methods to produce our timber to the highest specifications and performance which ensures quality and market viability.
In today's uncertain financial climate, timber and agricultural food production offers a compelling investment opportunity. The World Bank is predicting that these commodities will be the best performers over the next 20 years. Timber has consistently outperformed stocks and shares for the past century, whilst the global demand for food production is increasing at an unprecedented rate.
oxigen investments plc offers customers an opportunity to strong returns of 20% per annum IRR (and possibly higher). You can quite literally watch your money grow.
There's an ethical, social and green aspect to your investment too. The world's tropical rainforests are being destroyed by illegal logging. Trees have a vital role to play in reducing carbon in the atmosphere, a major cause of global warming. Your investment will enable us to plant sustainable new forests to replace those which have been lost, as well as bringing much-needed employment to the local communities. Thus a strong commercial proposition has a direct environmental benefit.
Secure home for your investment
Owners can purchase trees from saplings or, if they are seeking faster returns, they have the option of timber of various ages which is already in the ground, and therefore only a few years from maturity and return on investment.
This is how it works. Customers lease plots on our plantations, wait for the trees to mature and then harvest them for profit. We grow agarwood, from the tropical aquilaria tree, which takes just six to seven years to grow. Other woods like teak develop over fifteen to twenty five year cycles.
Oxigen Investments Plc offers investors a secure place for their capital, accompanied by the prospect of tax-free returns including IHT and capital gains tax.

Highly Profitable Eco-Forestry Out-Performs More Traditional Investments, Returning 30% Last Year
Kensignton,London, United Kingdom, september, 2009 Oxigen Investments plc offer eco-friendly investments in Teak and Agarwood which are proving to be lucrative investment vehicles for the individual investors they service.
Established 5 years ago, Oxigen has an impressive client retention rate, with 24% of clients re-investing. And that client base is growing fast as investors learn of this innovative approach to foresty-based investment, previously the privilege of large funds and those with specialist knowledge and contacts.
Thanks to Oxigen Investments, individual investors can now have a slice of the pie, provided they have the required funds (investments from £10k). Then sit back and wait, as the trees are planted and managed by an appointed forestry management company on your behalf.
Last year, tropical hardwoods returned 30%, outperforming more traditional forms of investment. Oxigen's calculations based on conservative figures expects an investment of £10,000 to provide a net return of £47,880 within 6 years. This low-level entry point opens the market significantly, but investments of much higher figures can be easily accomodated and managed.
Teak
They grow teak at Oxigen forestry using the latest scientifically proven cultivation methods including growing from tissue culture as opposed to seed. This process significantly shortens the growing cycle from 25 to 16 years and consequently provides quicker returns.
Agarwood
Owning trees has traditionally been a great investment that has consistently out stripped all other commodities for the past century. The only down side to owning trees has been the 16/18 years that we must wait before they can be harvested. Unlike teak, agarwood has the advantage of being ready to harvest after only 6 years, which means they can get 3 harvests of agarwood to one harvest of teak.
SIPP (Self-Invested Pension Plan)
If you would like to invest with Oxigen as part of a SIPP then there is financial advice on hand to explain this and assist in the process of setting this up for you. If you are unsure about this then they recommend that you contact your financial adviser for advice.
Should you require access to your invested funds, there is a good chance you will be able to sell on your investment, as it will be nearer maturity than new investments, and therefore more desirable to prospective investors.

forestry investment
The EU announced it would challenge the UK's inheritance tax reliefs for forestry.
The European Commission formally requested the United Kingdom to amend its legislation which provides for inheritance tax relief. If no satisfactory reaction is received the Commission may decide to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice.
The Commission is of the opinion that the UK should allow inheritance relief for all forestry property situated in other EU and EEA Member States, as is it does for similar property in the UK.

"THE ETHICAL CHOICE "
New research shows that socially and environmentally aware investors have been among those hardest hit by the stock market carnage.
A survey from data provider, Moneyfacts, examined the performance of ethical funds, conventional non-ethical funds, index trackers as well as the FTSE 100 over a number of investment periods.
It found that despite enjoying strong investment returns in recent years, the average ethical fund is now lagging behind the performance posted by traditional or non-ethical funds over not just one but also, five and 10 year periods.
It seems going green is no longer paying off, with the average ethical fund has fallen 9.1% over the past 12 months compared with a much smaller drop of 5.7% for the average non-ethical fund.
But ethical investors have still slightly outperformed the FTSE 100 index of the UK's largest firms which has dropped by about 10% in the past year.
The change in fortune for ethical investing represents a remarkable turnaround on the situation just 12 months ago, when the typical ethical fund had outperformed the average non-ethical fund by 3.3% over a one-year period.
Richard Eagling, of Moneyfacts, says: 'In many respects the last 12 months have been a testing time for ethical funds.
'Falling markets have seen their performance falter more than their mainstream rivals, although given that they have less opportunity to invest in defensive stocks such as oil and tobacco, this should come as little surprise.'
Ethical funds operate in exactly the same way as conventional funds - in that they buy baskets of shares in a chosen sector - but before they make the decision to invest in a company, an ethical fund manager will run checks on the company to find out if it has interests in a number of 'positive' and 'negative' criteria.
Ethical portfolios have traditionally been classified as either 'dark' or 'light' green.
Dark-green funds for example exclude companies involved in arms, gambling, the fur trade, pornography, tobacco and those with a poor track record on human rights.
Light-green funds, or socially responsible investment (SRI) funds on the other hand tend to use a 'preference' tactic where they invest in companies in each sector that score highest on various social, environmental and ethical criteria.
They may invest in industries such as aviation, banking, drugs and oil - areas that would be excluded on stricter funds.

• Can buying gold coins make you a mint?
• How to weather the stock market storm
• Analysis: Which banks are most at risk
• Is gold the ticket out of the market storm?
• Tables: Top-selling funds
A chief reason for the underperformance of ethical funds is that typically they would have missed out on the strong performance of commodity sectors such as mining and oil and gas. And to compound the problem, ethical funds have a strong bias towards smaller and medium sized companies, which tend to be hit harder during a downturn than blue-chip firms. Any exposure to banks would also clearly have had a major impact upon fund performance.
Just seven of the 57 ethical funds surveyed recorded positive growth over the last year, with the best performance, at 3.2%, posted by Henderson Industries of the Future. Most of the top performing ethical funds over one year, such as the aforementioned Henderson vehicle, are located within the Investment Management Association's Global Growth sector.
On the other hand funds with a predominantly UK focus have fared less favourably, including some of the most popular ethical/SRI funds.
For instance, F&C Stewardship Growth, Prudential Ethical Trust and Scottish Widows Environmental Investor have all fallen by 20% over the last year. In addition, AXA Ethical has fallen by 24% whilst Old Mutual Ethical has plummeted by 25%. But none of these come close to matching the underperformance achieved by Sovereign Ethical, which has posted massive losses of 33%.
Ethical funds may be lagging over the short term but over the longer term there is still evidence to suggest that investors can profit from their principles. Significantly, over three years ethical funds, with 16%, have marginally outperformed against non-ethical portfolios, which on average delivered 15.6%.

Forestry Investments
47 Years of Annual Timberland Returns
Data Source: Daily Wealth
Why diversify your portfolio into hardwood / teak ?
Over the past 47 years, forestry returns have shown a positive growth for 44 years. In recent decades, timber has been one of the best assets to own. As reported by Bloomberg Wealth Management:-
"Hardwood has quietly and consistently out performed nearly all other commodities for the past 100 years"
Given the recent turmoil in the more traditional markets, investors are increasingly looking towards commodities for medium to long term security, whilst realising a high annual return on investment (ROI). Since the collapse in the property investing market, hardwoods such as teak have been discovered to be the perfect partner to introduce stability and diversity to existing portfolios.
With strong pre-existing demand and established consumer markets for both teak and agarwood, our forestry investment packages offer investors high yield returns coupled with low risk over the lifetime of the investment.
Forestry really is the best alternative investment in todays economic climate !

The Best Investment For Your Money
For the past several years, one of DailyWealth's biggest "themes" has been the advantage of investing in timber, hardwood and teak. Timber prices are extremely stable... and they aren't correlated with the stock market. Trees grow constantly. If timber prices are weak, the timberland owner can simply let his grow. These qualities make timber a fantastic medium to long term investment. But even we didn't expect what's happening with trees right now... In the midst of the worst financial crisis in 80 years, shares of America's timberland owners are holding like a rock. For a picture of this situation, we present a chart of America's largest private timberland owner, Plum Creek Timber.

change because trees absorb carbon dioxide,one of the main green house gases.
But all round the world forests are being cut back through indiscriminate illegal logging ,and new trees are desperately needed to replace them.
Oxigen is leading the fightback against the destruction of one of worlds biggest and oldest rain forests on the island of borneo in south east asia .
forest in the Malaysian states of sarawak and sabah have been savagely reduced by over
50% by illegal logging and the leveling of thousands of acres to develop oil palm plantations.More recently plans have been revealed to build twelve dams which will destroy even more trees and displace thousands of local people and threaten the habitat
of one already endangered species-the Orangutan.

www.oxigenplc.com
Tropical hardwoods – standing firm in volatile markets
There has never been a better time to invest in timber. The stock markets are down, the currency markets in turmoil … but you can depend on trees. Over recent years timber has proved itself resilient to volatility in other asset classes, delivering illegally logged. More and more countries, most recently the EU, are outlawing the import of unsustainably harvested wood.
Hardwood prices have kept on rising – by around 15 per cent a year between 2002 and 2006. Teak returns during the past 18 years have averaged almost 10 per cent a year.
Oxigen Investments plc uses investors' money to create hardwood plantations in Brazil and Malaysia. For an investment of £10,000 upwards, investors lease their forestry investment plot, receiving 100 per cent of the net profit generated when the timber is harvested and sold on maturity.
The investment is particularly suitable as a long-term investment in Child Trust Funds. However it differs from most other CTF’s where you see nothing over the term of the investment. Oxigen gives investors the opportunity to take dividend payments when it suits them. Timber is also a suitable investment for Self Invested Pension Plans.

Timber outperforms the stock market
For many investors, putting money into timber may seem somewhat novel, especially in South-
East Asia. But there is nothing new in trees as a credible asset class. Timber has a long and
profitable history, especially in the United States where trees have consistently produced better
returns than stocks and shares.
But the big point is that trees in the tropics have a growth rate that is eight to ten times
faster than those in cooler climates. Harvesting can take place many years earlier allowing a
better return on investment.
But back to the USA. From 1973 to 2003, managed timber in the US returned 15% per
year – which puts the projections listed above into perspective. Meanwhile, stockmarkets
returned about 11%. Just as important, timber did so with considerably less risk. Over the last
45 years, timber investments were down only three times against a dozen crashes in the stock
market.
Another advantage for trees is that throughout crises like the current credit crunch they
will keep on growing, and so does their value. Even when the timber market is soft, you can
simply leave the trees in the ground till it picks up again.
As well as the US, there’s a strong tradition of investing in timber in the UK, encouraged
by the government. Commercially managed woodland in the UK can be passed on free of
inheritance tax once it has been owned for only two years; it qualifies for capital gains tax
rollover relief ; and income derived from commercial woodland is free of income and
corporation tax. So a return of 5% from woodland is the equivalent of a return of over 8% from
any other investment to a higher-rate taxpayer.
Nonetheless, real soft timber prices in the UK are still 50% below those of 1996 though
that may be about to change. Over the last three years, prices have recovered by around 11%
(according to the FIM Timber Index) and that is a trend most experts see continuing.
From a South-East Asia perspective, notwithstanding markets in Europe and the US, there are
a number of reasons for investors to regard timber as an attractive asset class:
• Forestry is the only low-risk, high return asset there is.
• The price of timber has risen for the past 200 years.
• Timber is counter cyclical.
• World consumption is up 25 times over four decades.
Both the US and Europe will doubtless remain attractive to certain investors for some time to
come. But in Europe particularly, both the Scandinavian countries and the emerging states in
the EU, it could be argued that the market is relatively static compared to what’s happening to
the East.
The great growth in future will be in the East, notably China. According to the FIM
timber index, Chinese timber consumption doubled between 2000 and 2003, and its demand is
forecast to grow 30% in the next five years. The FIM says that global forecast demand is
“equivalent to finding another source of supply of timber with five times the output of the UK
each and every year”.
That is where the opportunities arise for the fast-rising countries in South-East Asia such as Malaysia.

An ethical way to watch your money grow
Not all investors see profit as their only motivation. Many have sought to square the circle by
seeking out investments which also meet ethical and socially responsible standards. In that
context trees take some beating. Trees are a major force in the fight against global warming.
Forests help offset climate change because trees absorb carbon dioxide, one of the main
greenhouse gases.
All across the great rain forests of South-East Asia, trees have been felled to make way
for agricultural land, new roads or expanding towns and cities. Many countries have clamped
down on this indiscriminate and often illegal activity, but the damage has been done.
One response to this, encouraged by governments, has been the steady growth of
commercial tree plantations. Not only does this reforestation begin the process of replacing the
naturally-grown trees, but it also creates a virtuous circle because as trees on these commercial
plantations are harvested new ones are planted to replace them.
From an investment perspective, becoming involved in commercial plantations is
straightforward. You buy a block of trees, either already in the ground or ready to go in as
seedlings, and literally watch your money grow. When the trees are harvested, investors take
the profit from their sale.
Taking two typical species of tropical trees, these are the sort of returns you can expect:
• Agarwood. 350 of these fast-growing trees with an initial cost of £10,000 are projected
to produce a return of £47,880 in just six years.
• Teak. 300 trees costing £10,000 are projected to return £193,000 net over a growing
span of 16 years.
These returns are calculated by looking at today's average harvest values for each type of wood.
You then look retrospectively at the respective annual increases during the last ten years and
use these as a guide when projecting potential future maturities. But, as a health warning all
investors should mark, past performance is no guarantee of future outcomes.
This article will hopefully go some way though to describing the exciting developments
in forestry – not least on the scientific front. There is much more to growing trees than meets
the eye. The modern plantations benefit from scientific breakthroughs which speed up both
quality and shorten growing times.
All of which makes timber is a unique investment over the relatively short or longer term
which is genuinely green - and helps save the planet.Ring now 0800 021 3344 for more info

The Best Investment For Your Money
For the past several years, one of DailyWealth's biggest "themes" has been the advantage of investing in timber, hardwood and teak. Timber prices are extremely stable... and they aren't correlated with the stock market. Trees grow constantly. If timber prices are weak, the timberland owner can simply let his grow. These qualities make timber a fantastic medium to long term investment. But even we didn't expect what's happening with trees right now... In the midst of the worst financial crisis in 80 years, shares of America's timberland owners are holding like a rock. For a picture of this situation, we present a chart of America's largest private timberland owner, Plum Creek Timber.

Forest have a vital role to play in countering global warming.Trees help offset climate
change because trees absorb carbon dioxide,one of the main green house gases.
But all round the world forests are being cut back through indiscriminate illegal logging ,and new trees are desperately needed to replace them.
Oxigen is leading the fightback against the destruction of one of worlds biggest and oldest rain forests on the island of borneo in south east asia .
forest in the Malaysian states of sarawak and sabah have been savagely reduced by over
50% by illegal logging and the leveling of thousands of acres to develop oil palm plantations.More recently plans have been revealed to build twelve dams which will destroy even more trees and displace thousands of local people and threaten the habitat
of one already endangered species-the Orangutan.

Labels: THE SIENCE OF TREES
www.oxigenplc.com
Tropical hardwoods – standing firm in volatile markets
There has never been a better time to invest in timber. The stock markets are down, the currency markets in turmoil … but you can depend on trees. Over recent years timber has proved itself resilient to volatility in other asset classes, delivering illegally logged. More and more countries, most recently the EU, are outlawing the import of unsustainably harvested wood.
Hardwood prices have kept on rising – by around 15 per cent a year between 2002 and 2006. Teak returns during the past 18 years have averaged almost 10 per cent a year.
Oxigen Investments plc uses investors' money to create hardwood plantations in Brazil and Malaysia. For an investment of £10,000 upwards, investors lease their forestry investment plot, receiving 100 per cent of the net profit generated when the timber is harvested and sold on maturity.
The investment is particularly suitable as a long-term investment in Child Trust Funds. However it differs from most other CTF’s where you see nothing over the term of the investment. Oxigen gives investors the opportunity to take dividend payments when it suits them. Timber is also a suitable investment for Self Invested Pension Plans.

Timber outperforms the stock market
For many investors, putting money into timber may seem somewhat novel, especially in South-
East Asia. But there is nothing new in trees as a credible asset class. Timber has a long and
profitable history, especially in the United States where trees have consistently produced better
returns than stocks and shares.
But the big point is that trees in the tropics have a growth rate that is eight to ten times
faster than those in cooler climates. Harvesting can take place many years earlier allowing a
better return on investment.
But back to the USA. From 1973 to 2003, managed timber in the US returned 15% per
year – which puts the projections listed above into perspective. Meanwhile, stockmarkets
returned about 11%. Just as important, timber did so with considerably less risk. Over the last
45 years, timber investments were down only three times against a dozen crashes in the stock
market.
Another advantage for trees is that throughout crises like the current credit crunch they
will keep on growing, and so does their value. Even when the timber market is soft, you can
simply leave the trees in the ground till it picks up again.
As well as the US, there’s a strong tradition of investing in timber in the UK, encouraged
by the government. Commercially managed woodland in the UK can be passed on free of
inheritance tax once it has been owned for only two years; it qualifies for capital gains tax
rollover relief ; and income derived from commercial woodland is free of income and
corporation tax. So a return of 5% from woodland is the equivalent of a return of over 8% from
any other investment to a higher-rate taxpayer.
Nonetheless, real soft timber prices in the UK are still 50% below those of 1996 though
that may be about to change. Over the last three years, prices have recovered by around 11%
(according to the FIM Timber Index) and that is a trend most experts see continuing.
From a South-East Asia perspective, notwithstanding markets in Europe and the US, there are
a number of reasons for investors to regard timber as an attractive asset class:
• Forestry is the only low-risk, high return asset there is.
• The price of timber has risen for the past 200 years.
• Timber is counter cyclical.
• World consumption is up 25 times over four decades.
Both the US and Europe will doubtless remain attractive to certain investors for some time to
come. But in Europe particularly, both the Scandinavian countries and the emerging states in
the EU, it could be argued that the market is relatively static compared to what’s happening to
the East.
The great growth in future will be in the East, notably China. According to the FIM
timber index, Chinese timber consumption doubled between 2000 and 2003, and its demand is
forecast to grow 30% in the next five years. The FIM says that global forecast demand is
“equivalent to finding another source of supply of timber with five times the output of the UK
each and every year”.
That is where the opportunities arise for the fast-rising countries in South-East Asia such as Malaysia.

An ethical way to watch your money grow
Not all investors see profit as their only motivation. Many have sought to square the circle by
seeking out investments which also meet ethical and socially responsible standards. In that
context trees take some beating. Trees are a major force in the fight against global warming.
Forests help offset climate change because trees absorb carbon dioxide, one of the main
greenhouse gases.
All across the great rain forests of South-East Asia, trees have been felled to make way
for agricultural land, new roads or expanding towns and cities. Many countries have clamped
down on this indiscriminate and often illegal activity, but the damage has been done.
One response to this, encouraged by governments, has been the steady growth of
commercial tree plantations. Not only does this reforestation begin the process of replacing the
naturally-grown trees, but it also creates a virtuous circle because as trees on these commercial
plantations are harvested new ones are planted to replace them.
From an investment perspective, becoming involved in commercial plantations is
straightforward. You buy a block of trees, either already in the ground or ready to go in as
seedlings, and literally watch your money grow. When the trees are harvested, investors take
the profit from their sale.
Taking two typical species of tropical trees, these are the sort of returns you can expect:
• Agarwood. 350 of these fast-growing trees with an initial cost of £10,000 are projected
to produce a return of £47,880 in just six years.
• Teak. 300 trees costing £10,000 are projected to return £193,000 net over a growing
span of 16 years.
These returns are calculated by looking at today's average harvest values for each type of wood.
You then look retrospectively at the respective annual increases during the last ten years and
use these as a guide when projecting potential future maturities. But, as a health warning all
investors should mark, past performance is no guarantee of future outcomes.
This article will hopefully go some way though to describing the exciting developments
in forestry – not least on the scientific front. There is much more to growing trees than meets
the eye. The modern plantations benefit from scientific breakthroughs which speed up both
quality and shorten growing times.
All of which makes timber is a unique investment over the relatively short or longer term
which is genuinely green - and helps save the planet.Ring now 0800 021 3344 for more info
