OUR
TIMING
The global economy is sailing through a perfect storm unfurled by a confluence of the 4th industrial revolution, climate change and global supply chain migration. Climate change promises to not only accelerate technology adoption but also transform an ancient store of wealth—land—into one our most valuable natural resources.
A perfect storm...
A revolution in industrial-, digital- and bio- technologies, accelerated by climate change and a push to migrate global chains, is driving a wholesale reconstruction of the global economy. Corporations the world over are investing heavily in AI, autonomy and automation, in new molecular structures, in manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and advanced robotics, and in new transportation and delivery systems, uprooting long-established global supply chains. Comparative advantages enjoyed by nations with high levels of wage adjusted labour productivity are being rapidly eroded, offering communities a once-in-a-century opportunity to attract investment, leap-frog peers, to advance socially, environmentally, and economically.
Swathes of legacy infrastructure, energy and industrial capacity are set to be mothballed, dismantled, written-off, relegated to the dustbin of sunk costs as the global economy adapts to and mitigates the effects of climate change through a gargantuan, time-constrained reconstruction exercise costing tens of trillions of dollars.

A new (old) sail...
Climate change is expected to reduce the global stock of habitable land. According to the IPCC (2019), “Asia and Africa are projected to have the highest number of people vulnerable to increased desertification. North America, South America, Mediterranean, Southern Africa, and Central Asia may be increasingly affected by wildfire. The tropics and subtropics are projected to be most vulnerable to crop yield decline. Land degradation resulting from the combination of sea level rise and more intense cyclones is projected to jeopardise lives and livelihoods in cyclone prone areas.”
Countries less vulnerable to the effects of climate change, particularly those with strong climate adaptive capacity, will not only see increased migration pressure but will also witness consistent increases in land values.
The importance of this ancient store of wealth, which remains by far the most valuable asset class on earth—valued at roughly $250 trillion or more than two times global GDP—can be expected to increase further. Land is a non-depleting natural resource whose value will follow an exponential growth pattern over time. It is not subject to technology obsolescence risk, and doesn’t contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. We believe it is the ideal capital asset on which to base a new type of asset finance to develop the net-zero economy.

A brighter, more equitable future...
In every crisis, there is opportunity. In our times, we have an ideal opportunity to reimagine, reshape and rebuild societies—from their very foundations, using new technologies, business models and financial strategies.
A perfect storm presents a once in a century opportunity to create financial wealth. It arrives at a time when there is a deep yearning for a more equitable distribution of wealth that benefits all citizens, rich and poor, shareholders, employees, and future generations. It arrives at a time when there is a broad consensus that unlike earlier economic transitions, this time local communities, local businesses and lesser skilled, less globally mobile workers must not be left behind.
This yearning and consensus can become a reality. And land holds the key. It is a local store of wealth. It is the most widely held asset class in the world. Nearly two billion households own land directly, and many more own it indirectly through local, regional, and national governments.
The Tenorez partnership uses public land to underwrite local communities' economic uplift and draw global investment to local communities. The partnership focuses on creating new business opportunities for local business, offering new avenues of wealth creation for local entrepreneurs, and increasing local employment.
