Investors continue to flee the Israeli market in the wake of the judicial shake-up: ODAN Capital co-founder Oniel Samuel weighs in on the situation as it unfolds

The ongoing judicial shake-up is threatening Israel’s economic future, and many investors have left the market in response to the political uncertainty. Market analysts predict that the situation will get worse before it gets better, which has further undermined investor confidence, causing them to exit the market before stock prices fall even lower.

Oniel Samuel, the co-founder of ODAN Capital, who currently resides in Israel, has been closely monitoring the situation with his partners Daniel Abrahams and Shai Moschowits. All three share that they are increasingly concerned, especially with key officials resigning. While the Israeli market has shown resilience in the face of past political and economic challenges, Oniel understands why many investors are opting to flee the space. Since the Israeli market has been ripe for investment, many new investors entered the market, and the current situation presents a challenge that most investors hope to avoid.

Due to the uncertainties, Israeli investors have been seeking investment opportunities abroad. Oniel shares, “As a co-founder at ODAN Capital, I have witnessed a concerning trend of Israeli investors seeking investment opportunities abroad due to the difficulties in the local market here in Israel. This mass exodus of capital from Israel is a worrying sign for the country’s economic future, and it’s a trend that deserves attention.”

Oniel adds that ODAN Capital acquired $100 million worth of real estate in the US market last year alone, and they are expecting to exceed that this year. He explains that many investors fleeing the market volatility in Israel are finding investment opportunities in the US, partly because of its stability but mainly due to the thriving industrial real estate sector.

Many Israeli investors are wondering where to turn their investments now that the Israeli market is in turmoil. Whether the current situation is a short-term market fluctuation or not, investors have made their choice, and many of those exiting do not plan to return to the Israeli market, even if the situation stabilizes. As a leading facilitator of cross-border investments, Oniel, along with his partners at ODAN Capital, is helping investors find their place in new markets.

“The number of inquiries to help facilitate cross-border investments has grown dramatically since the beginning of the year,” shares Oniel.

ODAN Capital’s investment strategy, which focuses on last-mile assets in growth markets in tier-one US cities, has become increasingly relevant to the many Israeli investors who are seeking new opportunities abroad.
