SUM - Summerset Group

[Jenny Ruth]

Hi all. My latest column published on my Substack, Just the Business, takes a look at the NZX-listed retirement operators and how they rank, including that Summerset is likely to overtake Ryman as the largest in the sector in a few years. The headline is: Mirror, Mirror on the wall, which is the biggest retirement village operator?

Always exceptions.
The major reasons for not taking up Summerset,were;I believe RYM's model of doing ever thing in house is best.I believe RYM's reputation is the best.I believe RYM having more than half their units under 5 years old means there are huge earnings to come from resales.I have met CEO and CFO [and the directors at last AGM] and think a lot of them,and the way they run the business for the residents.They have grown the business without coming back to shareholders.Lastly I
found looking at Summerset made me realise RYM are superior.
thought RYM shareholders would be more stable in the next year or two.I suspose

SUM 655% return

RYM 46%. Not 460% but Forty Six.
