Benjamin Oyebode
Founder of The Benjamin Perspective - economist, investment analyst, and banking professional bringing rigorous analytics to capital advisory for SA growth businesses.
Founder · The Benjamin Perspective | Economist · Investment Analyst
Benjamin is Regional Manager, Economic and Behavioural Analytics at Standard Bank Group (including work in climate risk and sustainable finance). He brings that same discipline to The Benjamin Perspective: investor‑ready models, funding strategy, and transaction support for South African SMEs raising R5m–R50m.
He holds an MCom in Econometrics and Quantitative Economics from the University of Pretoria (cum laude), is a CFA Level II candidate, and has published behavioural economics research. His experience spans investment analysis, policy research, and mentoring - oriented toward clearer decisions under uncertainty.
Why it matters: when the “missing middle” gets the same quality of preparation as larger mandates, more good businesses get funded on fair terms.
- Banking‑grade analytics with founder‑first advisory
- Equity, debt & blended capital; institutional and DFI contexts
- Research‑backed judgement; comfortable in Excel and the boardroom
