Because in the same way as investments in infrastructure and real estate, forest investments are a good alternative to bonds and can provide a sensible, stable and long-term return with limited risk. At the same time, this type of investment contributes to risk diversification in the investment portfolio, ”says Henrik Olejasz Larsen, Investment Director at the Pension Fund.
