South African entrepreneur and OrbVest co-founder Martin Freeman talks about his business journey to Alec Hogg at the BizNews spring investment conference, which was recently held at the Champagne Sports Resort in the midst of the Drakensberg mountains. Freeman, a Harvard graduate, has been involved in a number of successful business ventures in South Africa, most notably being one of the founding members of Bayport Financial Services. His journey to New York was not clear cut, with the serial entrepreneur having found opportunity within a niche real estate sector abroad. OrbVest invests in income producing medical commercial property in the US, which generates a yield (ie dividends) between 7% and 9% per annum. Freeman refers to the investment as reliable with the sweetener being that capital and dividends are returned in US dollars, a great diversification tool for South African savers.
