“PROTECT INVESTORS’ INTERESTS”

says André Brand, director: marketing of Sharemax Investments

The current environment in South Africa is characterised by rising inflation and an unsteady stock exchange.

In these circumstances one must apply new thinking and effect new protection for investors.  One of the components in an investor’s investments portfolio is the utilization of property.

The value of property funds which are listed on the stock exchange are determined by supply and demand and have also been affected by the recent fluctuations which have taken place.  The question then is how does one counteract this?

Unlisted commercial property investments

Unlisted commercial property investments are not really subject to stock exchange movements.  Besides that, for R10 000 or more, it also offers the opportunity to individuals to participate in an investment in commercial property or specialised property development, as provided by Sharemax Investments.

Sharemax Investments has already delivered nearly a decade of innovation and service to investors in this industry.

When an investment is made in a property then the investor becomes a joint shareholder of a property that does not have a bond, as all the investors bring together the necessary funds to buy such a property.  The property then delivers a monthly interest income to the investors which is acquired from the net income of such a property and there is also the potential of capital growth over the medium to long term.

Medium to long term

An investment in commercial property as it is promoted by Sharemax Investments, must always be seen as an investment of five years or longer in order to unlock the value of capital growth.  A further advantage of such an investment is that interest is paid out monthly.  It is especially convenient for individuals who rely on a monthly interest income.

NEW PROJECT BY SHAREMAX INVESTMENTS

Sharemax Investments launched a new project of the Sharemax Growth Plan.

Sharemax’s managing director, Willie Botha, said that Theresapark Retirement Village is the development of a luxury residential complex for senior citizens. It is situated in Waterbok Street, Theresapark, north of the Magaliesberg in Pretoria, Gauteng. The project will have a final development value of approximately R550 million.

R129 560 000 thereof will initially be obtained by means of various prospectuses. The retirement village will consist of 428 units as well as various other facilities. There will be 1 bedroom-, 2 bedroom-, 3 bedroom units, apartments, as well as intensive care units available.

According to Sharemax’s research, there is a huge demand in the area for retirement villages with additional intensive care facilities. A sickbay, frail care unit, recreational hall with facilities, library, kitchen and dinningroom, amongst others will be available.

Theresapark prospectus no. 1, which is currently promoted by Sharemax, is for an amount of R47 440 000, in order to purchase the immovable property and to establish the services. The projected return of prospectus no. 1 is 20% simple interest per year, or 100% over 5 years.

All indications show however that the project may be finalised after 3 years. The investors will also receive a portion of the development’s profit as a bonus at the end of the development project.

Sharemax indicated that this type of development is one of the few residential developments with which developers can still make good profits in the current economic climate. End users that purchase this type of residential unit, are usually buyers that consider this as a primary residence and they pay in cash. On completion of the project, investors will get the first option from Sharemax to purchase units at a reduced price, before they will be made available to the public.
