    This has been working in HGH's favour for sometime now.HGH getting out of large "business relationship" lending, and replacing them with a lot of smaller loans.This works two ways for HGH,reduces risks, and increases margins.HGH "Open 4 business" is growing very fast too.
    HGH always avoid going into the big banks' sectors.We have seen them reduce large rural mortgages lending,and recycling the funds into shorter term, and more profitable livestock lending.

    Absolutely right Percy. Been going on for 18 months or so and Heartland has reacted positively. Good that the loans being written instead are smaller and more widely spread, $100k or so on average, but using intermediaries makes them a bit more expensive to write. But on last numbers we are still with a very healthy NIM.

    Pretty good month for HGH. Doesn't feel like it but I checked and they're down 3.5% for the month, (up 0.5% counting the 6.5 cent fully imputed dividend they shed).
    This compares to the NZX50 down 3% for the month and according to CNBC this morning the financials as a sector in the US down 12% in August.
    Moral of the story, when it feels like you're on a road to nowhere check the landscape around you to see how you're really travelling relative to other alternatives.
    Nothing wrong with 8.8% fully imputed gross yield especially as it grows slowly over the years ahead.

    https://www.nzx.com/announcements/340177

    "Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) advises that the strike price for shares to be issued under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in lieu of the cash dividend payable on 6 September 2019 is $1.54446002 per share."

    I presume that like me you are all disappointed with that 2 millionths of a cent at the end and were hoping for at least 5.
