Episode #68 with Kola Oyeneyin, who is CEO of Opportunik Global Fund (OGF), which is a private wealth fund designed by Africans for Africans. At Opportunik Global Fund, the belief is that everyone should have access to opportunities regardless of their location. To that end, OGF offers USD investments to middle-class and mass-affluent Africans and Diasporans with a starting capital of $5,000. Their rigorous asset selection process and dedicated team ensure that investors receive healthy returns. OGF is licensed by the Cayman Islands and managed by Accuvise, a registered fund administrator overseeing over $216 million in Assets Under Administration.
