How does it work?

The cattle investment begins with the animals entering the feedlot weighing between 200 kg to 230 kg. They are then raised and fed until they reach the target weight range of 450 kg to 500 kg. Once they reach this optimal weight, they are sold to an abattoir at prevailing market prices. As an investor, your return on investment is determined by two key factors: the weight gained by the cattle during their time in the feedlot and the market price at the time of sale. The value of each cow is calculated per kilogram, meaning that the heavier the animal, the more valuable it becomes. By participating in our Cattle Investment, you're not only investing in the livestock industry but also contributing to South Africa's agricultural sector, which serves as a cornerstone of the economy.

How does the 20% performance fee work?

The performance fee is calculated after the 12 months. The performance fee is effective if the benchmark rate of 13% is achieved. If the returns exceed the benchmark   rate, the returns above the benchmark will be split 80% to the investor and 20% to SV Capital.

What happens after 12 months?

After 12 months, we will require maturity instruction from you. You can either reinvest the money or pay it out. If you reinvest the money, this will be reinvested for another fixed term (12 months). If you payout your investment, these funds will be paid back into your wallet.

What does the 99% guarantee mean? What happens if the cattle die?

We have a 99% guarantee in place with our partner farmer Beefcor. This means that for example, should one cow die in the herd of 100, it is considered industry norm. Anything over and above that one will be reimbursed by the farmer. Our partner farmer has guaranteed 99% on the herd taking into consideration the extensive experience our partner farmer has in the feedlot.

Do l own the cattle?

No, you are investing alongside other investors in a herd of cattle. You own a percentage in a herd of cattle rather than own one cow that belongs to you.

How does it work?

How does it work?

The delivery industry in South Africa has witnessed significant growth over the past 5 years, driven by high demand for services offered by companies like Mr D, Takealot, and UberEats. These firms often subcontract deliveries to independent drivers or riders, who typically require vehicles or bikes. Investors have the opportunity to invest in a fleet of delivery bikes, which are then leased to qualified riders operating across multiple delivery platforms such as Mr D, Takealot, and UberEats. Through our partner, OnFleet Pty Ltd, these bikes serve as essential tools for renters to fulfill delivery obligations on various platforms. Rental payments are made by the rider on a weekly basis. Upon conclusion of the investment period, investors receive their initial capital along with accrued profits. By participating in this investment opportunity, investors are actively involved in the dynamic last-mile delivery sector within South Africa.

What are the benefits of investing in Delivery Bike Investment?

This investment opportunity allows you to engage in one of South Africa's rapidly expanding sectors while also offering competitive returns.

Why does the Delivery Bike Investment not have a pool structure?

The Delivery Bike investment operates differently from our other investments because it follows a targeted amount rather than a time-based structure. This approach allows   us to raise the necessary capital to acquire a minimum fleet of 5 bikes. By doing so, we aim to diversify the risk for each investor involved. In essence, this strategy ensures that the investment pool is specifically tailored to support the acquisition and management of a fleet of delivery bikes, optimising risk management and potential returns for our investors.
