MESSAGE FROM HEIRLOOM’S PRESIDENT
“There’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon. It is now clear that Russia’s invasion hasn’t lived up to their expectations while the Ukrainian resistance has far exceeded everyone’s expectations.

We are not military strategists and can’t predict the outcome of this ongoing conflict. However, we remain hopeful that a peace agreement is coming. Not only will that save countless lives in Ukraine but it will also stabilize the global food, fertilizer and energy markets, and avoid additional hardship across the world.

Even with peace, the consequences have been dire.  Beyond the suffering and lives destroyed, Ukraine could take several years and billions of dollars in investment to reconstruct. Ports, rails, roads, power generation and transmission facilities, agricultural infrastructure, factories, and real estate have been decimated and will need to be restored.  As a silver lining, this does offer the opportunity to innovate in several sectors, including agriculture and renewable energy, which could put Ukraine on a progressive path forward.

Funding Ukraine’s economic recovery could be an important impact investment opportunity in the years ahead and should be heavily considered by investors as the world comes together to help all those affected by this tragic war.  Heirloom is leading an initiative to rebuild hard asset infrastructure in the region, with an on-the ground team in place and ready to begin in the event of peace.

For the sake of the Ukrainians struggling with this conflict and families in the developing world struggling with the energy and food crisis, we hope for imminent peace and a more hopeful tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Geoff Dover

The global economy relies on a $5 trillion engine that has stalled in recent years. Product shortages, supply chain snarls, trade wars, and a pullback from major banks have created a #TradeFinance gap. In 2022, we believe this engine could be rebooted, creating opportunities for investors.
