    I agree MET is cheaper than RYM, but does that make it a better company to invest in long term?
    Sauce has always been right on the money with his Ryman valuations on the Ryman thread, and has shared his thoughts on both SUM and MET.

    Thanks for the trouble you have gone to Sparky.
    I can't comment on MET,however I think their view of Ryman is spot on.

    Hi Sparky,

    Cheers for the article above - very useful.

    I never thought twice about MET as have preferred to hold RYM, but since the latest merger, sale and change in control I believe there is reduced risk and good potential for a turn around. Hence I bought a small holding.

    Obviously a good industry to be in and MET is cheap relative to NTA with management hopefully using the assets now to generate some profit. If there is a Div it would really egt thing moving in terms of share price.

    I still havn't invested in SUM as I increased my holding in RYM, and in my view it SUM similar but not as good as RYM.

    However I may buy some SUM if RYM keeps moving upwards. Will also be interesting to see how RYM goes in Aussie.

    I note this because I know that Ryman consider it a huge advantage that they are building in their villages purpose built dementia care units with scale.

    The other operators are not building specialist dementia care, and only a couple are offering aged care. The Ryman management I've spoken with are convinced this is a major benefit to being in a Ryman unit - you never have to leave if your care needs change.

    I've had the chance to recently walk around two Ryman villages, the Evelyn Page village in Orewa, and the Diana Isaac Village in Shirley CHCH, andhave to say I was utterly blown away at the scale of the operations, including the attention to detail in the dementia care wings.

    I've also toured Metlife Villages (the Remuera St Vincents) and the Summerset Villages in Manukau and Warkworth, and have to say Ryman are superior complexes (though the others are not to be sneezed at as markedly inferior, just not the same level of complete facilities as the Ryman ones.)
    Word.

    Folks listen up. In the AFR 1/2/13 "The $553 million Retirement Village Group RVG is in breach of its loan covenants, triggering a dramatic recent jump in its borrowing costs...... RVG holds a 43% slice of Metlife Care NZ and its investors hope the sale of that stake may cover the outstanding debt......Financial sources argue RVG may have to stomach a deep discount on the Metlife share trade"

    Cool Goldilocks and the 3 Bears

    So in addition to owning Ryman and Summerset I have now added Metlifecare to my portfolio.

    Currently still trading just under NTA and trading well under NTA+Resident Loans, if they can get their act together and up the rate at which they build, and more importantly, sell new units then I dare say the market in general will decide to push the price up.

    The accounts say to me that they could borrow a bit of money (that was recently paid back) to develop their build capability and kick start some decent growth.

    So then they would not be 'too cold' anymore.

    Best Wishes

    PS: 'too hot' and 'just right' ? try working them out.

    Hedging your bets? One of them is bound to let you buy a unit.

    I guess that's the question. In theory, RYM model is quite simple so why shouldn't it's growth rate increase. There is plenty of room in the market for all three to have high growth rates.

    So are MET's management up to it?
