In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Jason Oster, Knight Frank’s head of agribusiness valuations and advisory in Australia, to discuss the growing market of natural capital investment. Jason explains that natural capital refers to agricultural investments with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) narrative, which range from agribusinesses with renewable energy capabilities to pure conservation plays, where land is returned to its natural state. While these investments appeal to big corporations that want to reduce their carbon footprint and comply with Australia’s new bill mandating climate reporting, Jason said anyone who wants to contribute to environmental preservation can invest in natural capital. The trio also touch upon Australia’s agricultural sector and how consumer behaviour impacts the future of agriculture.

As interest rates shift and traditional commercial sectors like office and retail struggle, healthcare real estate stands out to investors looking for a stable and growing alternative. In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, co-hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with Matthew Strotton, the head of real estate at Real Asset Management (RAM), to discuss how investors can diversify their portfolios through healthcare real estate. The trio begins by outlining RAM’s strategic shifts within its portfolio as the company moved from a 50-50 split between commercial and healthcare holdings to an 80-20 split in its healthcare investments. Strotton said healthcare real estate has lower volatility and longer duration leases, which provide investors with stability and growth potential. While Strotton suggests solid investment returns, he urges investors to do their due diligence by understanding the differences between primary, secondary and tertiary levels of healthcare services, and engaging with sector professionals to ensure the viability of new projects.
