Partnership with Orbvest up a notch – barrier dropped 80% to $1,000
It’s three years since we met the Orbvest trio of Hennie Bezuidenhout, Martin Freeman and Justin Clarke. That began a business partnership that literally thousands of BizNews community members are grateful for – not only has Orbvest delivered them a good yield in hard currency, but their investments also completely missed 2022’s stock market meltdown.
From the outset, we were intrigued by the highly focused Orbvest offering of investing exclusively in medical properties in the USA. Expertise comes from Hennie, doyen in SA’s private hospitals development field; financial services entrepreneur Martin who is hands-on in New York; and Private Property founder Justin looking after tech and local investors.
Just shy of a decade since buying the first syndicated US medical property, Orbvest has now just opened for investments into its 40th project. I’ll help you find out more in tonight’s Orbvest webinars where Martin and Justin will unpack the latest opportunity. It’s at 7pm tonight. Free to all but you must sign-up beforehand. Click here to register.
Perhaps the most exciting part about tonight’s event is that Orbvest’s tech improvements means it can now drop the minimum investment lump sum from the previous $5,000 (R82,500) to $1,000 (R16,500). That will open the opportunity of buying a solid hedge against the volatile Rand to many more. See you tonight.
