Bank on bamboo – An alternative investment you can believe in
Alternative and ethical investments have been very successful of late, due to the condition of the global markets. Banks are paying miserable returns, the property market has taken a hammering and the stock market is performing erratically. In times like this, people are seeing alternative investments as a far more mainstream option than perhaps 10 years ago. Of course, investors need to be informed, do their research, ask questions and find the best deals.
Bamboo is one such investment that has presented itself as one of the very best deals around. Indeed, while investors become more socially and environmentally aware, they are still on the lookout for tangible assets that they can actually see develop and bamboo investments offer just that.
