    Two years at 6% looks quite attractive. Thanks, I'll have a look at the details "under the hood".

    Following this thread - I know nothing about bonds - but have some savings that are achieving nothing sitting in the bank. I am looking for a "safe" / low risk investment as I am not sure I can ride out a massive downturn in the market (if it ever happened) and wait for the next bounce (age wise - not adrenaline wise). I think they would call this either being risk adverse or even "diversification" .

    you'll know in more detail in 10 days

    not much is the answer based on guidance.

    and lots of debt.
    I personally would find better companies to put my 'safe' debt investment into.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    Quick skim through listed bonds SML010 about the only one yielding more than coupon rate (the 6.00% v 3.83%) …so market sees a fair bit of company risk.

    Only three years to go …you’d have to think Synlait won’t default in that time frame

    well of course you'd hope so but we really havent seem much good stuff happen in the last few have we ?

    I reiterate.
    NOT a good bond investment. Bonds are meant to be safe. So that they perform opposite to your risky investments.

    losing it

    but of course their future is looking good eh? according to the guidance ;+)
    But you really cant believe guidance unless the company has a long history of achieving it. Certainly not if you intend your investment to be safe. Because history tends to repeat.
