We have gone to the moon and back. Over the years, I have been into good investment programs and bad investment schemes. It is all good. As my mentor always put it, it is a learning curve. You learn and learn and try not to repeat the same mistakes again.
I have been in programs that was able to give me 10-15% monthly. I also have been in programs that could give me back my capital PLUS profits in less than a month! *grins*
Yes, there are such things out there, in fact, there are thousands of high-risk platforms you can choose from. You just need to know where to look.
But I am done investing in something that gives huge returns but could not sustain more than a year. The profits are just not worth the risk.
So I am going back to the basics that my mentor taught me.
"Look for something sustainable. Profit may not be much there, but it will still give you profit on a regular basis"
So, after looking around, I think I have found the right platform that suits the criteria of being "sustainable".
The economical crisis of the world is very very unstable now. Lots of individuals are looking for better ways to save their money, or are looking for platforms to invest their savings rather than just giving the banks profit for nothing in return.
As a father, as the bread-winner of the family, I myself have been looking for ways to diversify my savings and also my source of income.
I have been studying the latest trends in investments as well as the "evergreen" platforms of investment such as the mutual funds, real estate and etc.
However, the returns of conventional investment like mutual funds don't give much per annum(p.a.). In Malaysia respectively, a country where I reside, mutual funds can give up to 40% profits p.a.(this is for high risk platforms, correct me if I'm wrong, my source is just from a friend who's a wealth advisor of a reputable bank in Malaysia), but other trust funds like the ASB, Tabung Haji and etc, can only give you 6-8% p.a.
So as i was researching and studying about other platforms out there, I was taken by a company named OD Capital Ltd. (www.odcapital.com)
Hence, i created this blog to share with the world about my findings and about the platform I invest my time and money in.
The company started its operations in 2006 only as Introducing Broker (IB) in foreign exchange (forex) trading as the then group of forex traders, ODFX.
BUT WAIT!
Don't go assuming anything yet ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters... Yep, I agree forex has had its bad share of reputation in the market. People lost tons and gazillions of money in forex. Of course! We only hear from one side of the story, i.e. people who lost. Because we only want to hear the negative stuff, we are programmed to be that way. I don't blame you. I was like that too!
FACT : All banks, I repeat, ALL BANKS in this world are dealing with forex. Yes. EVEN the Islamic banks. Forex trading is the main source of profit for banks! Don't believe what I say, ask your friends who work at a bank. Or do your own research.
So, back to the company, OD Capital LTD (OD). The company started as an IB, and has since grew. Amazingly, they launched their IPO project in 2012 and in 2013, they incorporated the company, OD Capital Ltd, in The Republic of Seychelles, as an Asset Management company.
They started as a fund management company, and since their incorporation, have paved their way to get listed in NASDAQ (www.nasdaq.com) in the US through four (4) core principal in generating revenue. They have NUMEROUS Business models in various industries to ensure a stable cash flow of the company, as well as in projecting HIGH SHARE VALUE.
The four (4) core principals of OD are:
1) Investment
2) Merging and acquisition
3) Corporate finance and financial services
4) Fund Management
In ensuring HIGH VALUATION of shares before IPO, OD has invested in various industries to increase company assets.
These industries are already making name in the market, globally. OD Markets (odmarkets.com), Team OD Racing (odrace.com), YouthLite (youthlite.com), Cartivia (cartivia.com) are some of the established business ventures that are wholly-owned by OD.
In addition to these businesses, OD Markets, as an IB under financial services specialization, has won awards at the 2014's Forex Expo held in Shanghai, China.
In 2015, OD became one of the Platinum sponsors of iFXExpo held in Hong Kong.
Youthlite, a beauty and health product line was launched in Malaysia and their establishment can be found at IOI Boulevard, Puchong, Malaysia.

| OD racers: Fairuz Fauzy & Zhen Low |
OD Racing was launched in Kuala Lumpur in November 2014 by Malaysia's Minister of Tourism and Culture, YB Dato Seri Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz.
The team is taking part in GT Asia series with their fully kitted Lamborghini FL2 GT3.
On a recent event, OD Racing won a 2nd Place in KL City GP Street Racing that was held in Kuala Lumpur on the 7th - 9th of August 2015, despite being placed at the last position when the race started.Our own Fairuz Fauzy made that happen.
Cartivia is OD's wholly-owned subsidiary jewelry boutique. Its first outlet was launched in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2014. OD has launched another outlet in Starhill, Malaysia just recently. Pictures are below.

| Launching of MySmartGold and CARTIVIA |
The ceremony was held on the 14th of August 2015, where it was officiated by the owner of OD himself and a few other investors of the outlet.
In conjunction of covering Asia market, OD has aligned itself with various business partners to ease its operations. Best Leader Financial Group is one of its partners based in Hong Kong. As for Malaysia market, OD is liaised with MySmartGold Sdn Bhd. I will cover the advantages of these partners in upcoming post.
In paving the way for the US IPO plan, OD has incorporated Elitesoft Global Inc (ESG), an IT solutions company. Why an IT based company you ask? The IPO consultants advised that for a high valuation of stocks during listing and to sustain the value of the stocks, one company can either go listing on an IT based company or asset management company. Now, OD has both. OD Capital is an asset/fund management company, while ESG is an IT-based company.
In the diagram shown above, the company is targeting to go for IPO in 2018, and now OD is building its groundwork to achieve the target valuation of OD’s stocks once it gets listed in NASDAQ.
According to OD's person in charge for IPO, Mr Mike, OD is targeting to get USD30-USD40 of stock value once the company gets listed in NASDAQ. Comparing to the price that OD is offering now which is USD1 per unit share, we are looking at a 300-400% of increase in 3 years' time! Amazing! Looking at what they have done throughout the years, it is not impossible to achieve such value when the time comes.
To shed more light on what is Initial Public Offering, you could read up on these two successful companies who went IPO in recent years, Alibaba and Plus500.
So, congratulations! You have intensively read on about the company and its subsidiaries and how successful the company is. Are you interested in taking the next step to know about what the company is offering and how you can MAXIMIZE AND LEVERAGE on the company's growth?
