An equity syndicate is a joint ownership structure, usually set up as a company with shareholders, one of which is appointed as equity farm manager. These syndicates can potentially offer a broad range of benefits.

Enabling farm ownership:

• Providing a path to farm ownership in the current climate of high land prices and increasing farm scale.
• Allowing existing farmers to grow the size of their business.
• Providing an option for sharemilkers to achieve land ownership while continuing to run a large-scale operation as an employee.

Encouraging rural investment:

• Enabling a wider range of people to become directly involved in farming.
• Offering urban-based investors an opportunity to invest in the rural sector.

Reducing business risks:

• Helping reduce the risk associated with total farm ownership.
• Enabling risk to be spread across more than one region.

Increasing profitability:

• Offering the ability to combine skill sets with other investors and achieve economies of scale.
