Princess Project

The Princess Project is a pioneering reforestation venture in central Panama. 1,500 hectares of land, currently used for cattle grazing, are
being reforested with the fast growing tree Paulownia Elongata (also known as Princess Tree or Empress Tree). Paulownia is a fascinating
species; believed to be the fastest growing hardwood in the world, it can be harvested 4-5 times in the space of just one Teak harvest and
it provides an array of environmental benefits, from soil regeneration to an extraordinary rate of carbon dioxide uptake.

The Princess Project is a commercial timber plantation which is also being developed as a Carbon Offset Project, following CDM guidelines
developed for the Kyoto Protocol and verified to meet VCS and CCB standards, with environmental and socioeconomic benefits at the core
of the project. The trees will be harvested after their fifth year of growth and sold as a sustainable timber product. New trees will
regenerate from the roots to create three more cycles of growth and harvest over the 20 year project term. The investment opportunity is

based on the sale of the project’s timber to a commercial wood trader.

Timber Investment

All Silva Tree investment opportunities are genuine environmental projects that happen to be open to investment, not the other way
around. We develop programs that we believe are important, and expand them by offering private individuals to participate. We make our money
the same way you do; from our projects’ yields.

After oil, timber is the most intensively traded raw material in the world. The (FAO) expects that this demand will experience a further
rise of 50%. The present supply of hardwoods from managed plantations cannot meet this need.

In the current property and financial climate, sustainable forestry projects offer a low-risk investment opportunity with additional
environmental benefits. The Princess project is the only timber investment to offer guaranteed returns* payable in just 5 short years.

The Princess Tree, officially known as Paulownia, is recognized as the fastest growing hardwood in the world. The timber it produces is
durable and strong, lightweight and fire resistant. Unlike other Tropical timbers, the demand for Paulownia is not being met by
abundance of plantations and, as a carbon reducing facility; it absorbs more CO2 than any other Tropical plantation tree. The world
market price, supply and demand, speed of growth and quick return on investment make Paulownia an ideal commercial plantation tree.
Moreover, a buyer for the timber has already been found with an insured purchase guarantee in place, ensuring your investment return
is completely guaranteed.

Private investors are invited to join in this project by purchasing individual plots of land providing net returns of 18.7% per annum over a total investment period of twenty years (applicable to investments made before the 1st January 2010). Not just an exceptional financial
investment, buyers can enjoy a variety of tax breaks, assurance of security and enjoy the environmental benefits and community
initiatives facilitated by the project.

Community projects

opportunities to educational institutions, the Princess Project itself will benefit local communities. Local staff will be employed to work the land belonging to Silva Tree, and farmers will be invited to inter plant crops on the project land. This will give people the

Advantages of Investment Trusts

An Investment Trust is essentially a company that invests in shares and bonds of other companies. Individual investors can purchase shares in the investment company (or investment trust) who use the income generated from selling their shares to invest in other companies. Depending on these investments the share value of the investment trust can either go up or down, but will usually go up in the long run.

There are a number of advantages of using investment trusts as opposed to other investment options. One of the key advantages is the expertise of the investment managers. Their job is to choose the best investments on behalf of their shareholders; in other words those who they are investing on behalf of. They will be experienced investors who understand the markets they are investing in. Therefore utilising investment trusts is a wise idea if you want to invest but are not confident in deciding where to invest yourself. They do charge a fee and take a cut but if this leads to a better investment then it is worth it.

Investment Trusts allow small investors to invest where they may not be able to otherwise. They may not have the funds available to buy shares alone, but in an investment trust the money of different investors is combined to result in larger investments. This is beneficial to those who are not investing enough to accrue significant returns if investing alone as the combined amount increases the total.

Investment trusts will spread investments around different assets. This has two benefits for investors; it spreads the risk and adds to the diversity of the investment portfolio. This means investors are investing in a range of assets. This might not be possible if investing alone, especially if they do not have a large amount that they are able to invest. The range of expertise amongst investment managers means that they are able to invest in this range of different investments.

There are many people who would like to invest but do not have the time to research the best investments. With investment managers using their knowledge and making the investments this is less of an issue with investment trusts.

For many investment trusts are a good alternative to investing in company shares as individuals. The combination of the expertise and experience of investment managers, and the fact that there are several people investing together means that many choose this option above others.
