Auckland, 9 February 2024
Welcome to the latest issue of the Obris Global Investor Newsletter.
The first Obris event I attended was nine years ago. It was in Auckland, New Zealand.
I was already an accomplished entrepreneur and investor – mostly in frontier markets. My community was small and my investment expertise was narrow.
I attended the Auckland meet up with the goal to change that – to expand my portfolio and my group of peers.
Yet I had no idea what I was in for.
The event speakers, the likes of Grant Williams (RealVision co-founder), Brad McFadden (prolific trader) and Jeff Bone (early crypto innovator) offered deep insights that shaped how I viewed the world, and ultimately how I invested – even to today.
The range of topics was relevant, timely and prescient – all crafted to stimulate the investor mind, and to provide actionable content to help us grow our wealth.
The deal offerings were equally unique – asymmetrical investment opportunities I had yet to find elsewhere.
I was surrounded by other accomplished and adventurous people. They all had something I lacked – expertise in trading, crypto, commercial and residential real estate, gold and silver, agriculture, private equity, early stage, and much more. They also appreciated my expertise and welcomed me as one of their own.
My community grew and my portfolio expanded. I even acquired Obris’ precursor Seraph a few years later – along with business partner, Marvin Yee.
Marvin and I shared the quest to gather like-minded investors, and to curate deals that would bring exponential returns.
Please join us in New Zealand from 7-12 April. I am certain that this will be the best investment of time and money you will make this year. Expect to:
Join the waitlist today. Registration will start early next week – we will send you a reminder with links to register on Monday.
Sincerely,
James
