Optomise has shown that even during tumultuous markets swings and volatility with the right mix of alternatives, one can balance a traditional portfolio with excess returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past five years Optomise has provided returns in excess of 15% in their alternative investments, with no capital losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The alternative investment house focuses on renewable energy, asset rental business and private debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some examples of targeted and actual returns are their investments in Voco Hotel in Rose bank providing and delivering 16.5%, the Rockefeller Hotel in Cape town, delivering 15%, asset rental investment targeting and providing 19% return and their renewable energy investments providing 17% return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cohen believes that\u2019s their success in investment performance is based on identifying and partnering with teams with \u201cgood people\u201d, who have strong operational ability and a sound and quantified track record of past performance of their respective industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The realm of investing in alternative investments has however historically only been accessible to the ultra-wealthy who can afford complex offshore structures, with large amounts of capital to invest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optomise have therefore set up a cost effective and hassle free offshore investment platform with a sole focus of providing investors with the ability to access alternative investments in hard currency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team has access to unique private investments which provide attractive returns which are uncorrelated to the listed markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team is involved in the private equity space both locally and in the US, with access to investments that lie in the $5 -$15 million mark which is usually too small for the US players but is a sweet spot for South African investors given the weak Rand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These investments tend to yield higher returns than larger one due to there being strong investment fundamentals which generate consistent cash flows and are uncorrelated to macro-economic factors and market sentiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Optomise recently launched a US Renewable Energy Fund with a focus on the aviation industry, with a projected return of 3 times capital invested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat is one hell of a return, but we believe that through our engagements with our partner in this fund, Clearskies and the information and data that have provided us, we will deliver it over the next 5 years,\u201d concluded Cohen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
