Limited Volatility

Timberland investments historically have delivered very competitive levels of performance with limited volatility. The annualized standard deviation of quarterly returns for the South Timberland Index from 1987 to year-end 2003 is less than half that of the S&P 500 index and about one third that of the Russell 2000 index. Timberland has demonstrated a very favorable risk/return ratio.
