Futuro Forestal
• Since 1994 in Central America• Pioneers in mixed native species
reforestation• FSC certified since beginning• First ever B2B carbon transaction from
reforestation• First native species only big scale
investment project • 15 years of field experience, scientific
research and institutional cooperation
5
From small scale to uniquely positioned TIMO
Locating, structuring, set up, maintenance and exit of forest investments

Our unique approach
1. Located in the region2. Parallel Management Structure3. Set of techniques to manage
native with exotic species
Enablers for high biodiversity

1. Located in region
• HQ in Panama• Mostly local teams• Wide network of foresters, researchers and NGOs • Company culture toward field success

3. Mixed Native and Exotic Species Approach
Solution for enhanced biodiversity, optimized growth performance and higher yield.
13
Forest Investments
Forest Lands is a growing tangible asset class of investment portfolios
Forest investment ≠ automatically environmentally friendly
Mixed species reforestation is a new and underutilized subset of forest investments
14
Monoculture performs on paper
Inadequate management and poor soil selection can get inferior results
Monoculture mostly does not enhance biodiversity
Mixed native and exotic species perform in the field
15
Monoculture failing to thrive
Soil conditions require different species
Soil conditions require different species
16
Monoculture is less biodiversity

Healthy Mixed Stands Forest

Exotic Monoculture versus Mixed Native Species
Both models offer:
• Production of precious tropical hardwood
• Carbon sequestration
19
Additional native species approach advantages
• High biodiversity – habitat function for flora and fauna
• Corridor function for endangered animals
• Soil usage optimization by diversity• Positive hydrological function• Potential Non timber products• Landscape & beauty

Soil variety on 1 plantation

Panama Soil
95% was forest cover> 50% is fit for natives< 4% is fit for teak

22
What drives the performance of the mixed species model?
• Project layout matching soil qualities with individual requirements of the tree species
• Species knowledge from 15 years experience
• Detailed soil and site analysis• Professional
forest management
23
Existing opportunity of a Biodiversity Investment
• Introducing Timber Opportunities Fund• Caudex Capital-Futuro Forestal joint
venture• Luxemburg SICAV-SIF structure• Latin American focus• First project being implemented• Diversified project pipe line• Forestry management balancing nature
and business- high biodiversity benefits

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
25
The fund is the most advanced investment tool in the forestry
world• There is no systemic coincidence
between the 90 Mio year old tropical ecosystems and the several hundreds years old investment mandates of highest IRR possible
• But for long term real sustainability we need something difficult to ask for: Lower returns for more social and environmental benefits.
26
We need a new mandate
Not the highest possible IRR but highest possible biodiversity and social impact and moderate returns.
We are starting a group of interested stakeholders to develop FF3.0 you are invited
