Personal Story of CEO Axel von Schubert
“I came to Uruguay in the late 1990’s for my first time, following a generous invitation from the Italian Ambassador in Montevideo at the time.
I was immediately impressed by the country’s beauty, fairy-tale landscape and kind and hospitable people, 95% descendants from Europeans. Having travelled all my life across the world to much less attractive places as the son of a senior German diplomat, Uruguay convinced me quickly to be a prime investment and life-style destination possessing all the qualities one could possibly desire.
With over 40 years as international tax specialist and founder of a private equity firm with more than $ 1Billion in transactions in various asset classes, the investment potential and future of the agriculture industry in Uruguay had convinced me.
The perfect alternative asset class, a safe hedge against financial crises, farmland was an ideal addition to my personal portfolio. So, I purchased a sizeable soy farm in the western part of the country, Soriano, a province which boasts the highest soil quality in the country, allowing for 2 harvests per year. It quickly became a passion of mine.
It was a steep learning curve, and after many hard years of finally understanding the intricacies of agricultural investing, farmland management and the complications and challenges involved with this unique investment class, it became obvious that any inexperienced investor interested in this particular asset would require serious and professional advice and guidance to avoid the pitfalls and risks associated with farming. Due to the strong interest of many of my clients and friends to purchase farms in Uruguay, I founded Southland 360 in 2023.
I assembled a team of first-class professionals through my established network, a multi-disciplinary team of lawyers, accountants, notaries, and licensed agronomists, to provide an all-encompassing, valuable, and essential advice to the ever-growing number of investors and to protect them from making costly mistakes.”
