New Opportunities
Historically, agricultural investments like cattle have only been accessible to investors with significant capital, vast industry expertise, and direct connections to producers. FarmAfield has removed those barriers by:
Cultivating partnerships with high-performing farmers we trust
Leveraging technology to bundle smaller purchases into larger investments
Compiling, analyzing, and sharing industry data that drive higher returns
Different Assets, Different Results
When you invest through FarmAfield, you're buying real agricultural assets — commodities that are non-correlated with the stock market info . Why is this important? A diversified portfolio is the cornerstone of any risk management strategy. If an entire portfolio consists of similar assets, a singular market downturn can erase gains made over many years. Non-correlated assets like cattle provide an excellent safety net info during these stock market downturns, helping you to maximize your overall returns.
Correlation is expressed using a beta value. A beta value of 1.0 between two asset classes indicates that they move in lockstep. A beta of -1.0 indicates they move in opposite directions, and a beta of 0 indicates there is no correlation in their price movement.
Over the past 20 years, the beta value of a hypothetical cattle investment (similar to the ones possible through FarmAfield) in comparison to the S&P 500 is .07 which is quite low compared to other alternative asset classes.
Pulling from major market downturns in past 20 years, we compared the performance of a cattle investment with the S & P 500.
