Forisk Finance (formerly the Timber REIT Report) delivers comparative analysis of timber investment vehicles, including timberlands, timber REITs and ETFs. Forisk Finance includes analysis of forest and macro economic trends and international finance issues (i.e. trade and exchange rates) relevant to timberland investors, as well as ongoing tracking of timberland transactions.

Forisk Finance is ideal for current and potential investors in timber REITs, timberlands and other timber-exposed investment vehicles interested in:

1. Comparative analysis of timber-related investment vehicles across public and private markets;
   
2. Effects of micro and macro factors on timberlands markets; and
3. Summary analysis and recommendations of publicly-traded timber REITs.
