1. Agcapita Farmland Fund III – RE/MAX report shows some Saskatchewan
farmland prices increasing as much as 20% in last 12 months
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, ATTENTION INVESTMENT EDITORS – September 11,
2012 - Calgary
A recent RE/MAX report shows some Saskatchewan farmland prices increasing
as much as 20% in last 12 months. Agcapita Farmland Fund's data supports
RE/MAX's conclusion that farmland continues to appreciate strongly on the
Canadian prairies.
Agcapita’s series of farmland funds continue to show great appeal to
conservative investors concerned with inflation and the volatility of their existing
public equity investments. Farmland has similar inflation hedging qualities to gold
but with an ongoing cash yield that gold lacks. Farmland returns exhibit low
volatility and this combined with the high absolute returns from farmland equate
to a favorable Sharpe ratio. Agcapita’s funds directly hold diversified portfolios of
farmland in western Canada, and in particular in the highly price competitive
province of Saskatchewan. Investors are provided with the comfort of a direct
investment in farmland combined with a model of front-end loaded cash rents.
Agcapita is part of a family of alternative investment funds with a focus on
generating commodity-linked returns. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe
investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food,
feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term.
Agcapita is one of Canada's most experienced farmland fund managers,
launching its first fund in Q1 2008.

and the differences may be material. Factors which could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things:
risks associated with the ownership and operation of farmland, including
fluctuations in interest rates, rental rates and vacancy rates; general economic

competition for available farmland; weather; crop diseases; the price of grain and
other agricultural commodities; changes in legislation and the regulatory
environment; and international trade and global political conditions. Readers are
