J. Coast Sullenger Opalesque Industry Update: GAIA, in partnership with EFG International Finance, is launching the first investment vehicle of its kind focusing uniquely on listed farming companies around the globe. Investment into the worlds food producers is not only opportunistic given low current valuations of the shares--it also helps empower farming and plays a vital role in helping to “Feed the World."

Highlights:

The first certificate to offer investors a “plain vanilla”, single line, into the global farming sector
Liquid certificate with daily liquidity
Exposure to a wide range of crops
Exposure to millions of hectares of prime agri land (freehold or leasehold) held by the underlying companies
Farming companies are currently depressed and trade at an average 30% discount to the value of their net tangible assets (land, inventories)

Farming companies as a whole demonstrate solid fundamentals and strong growth that is driven both organically and by the dynamic macro and demographic trends related to agriculture.
