“The Strategy initiated multiple new positions during the quarter. We have recently been finding significant opportunities in the global timber industry. Timber is a relatively scarce, needed asset that is significantly undervalued by the markets, in our opinion, and timber producers provide an opportunity to take advantage of that mispricing. The Strategy initiated positions in two U.S.-based timber producers, Rayonier Inc. (NYSE:RYN and Weyerhaeuser Co. All of these companies are undervalued on multiple metrics and trade at significant discounts to Kopernik’s estimates of their risk-adjusted intrinsic values.”
