    Yes ex UDC man Brian Jolliffe certainly took PGC to near bankruptcy.
    That is the reason HBL still avoid property developers like the plague.
    Even spread of funding, matched by an equal spread of lending reduces the risks,as does having a great Reverse Equity loan book.
    Savvy good farmers [and SME]do not like being too dependent on one lender [bank].

    I hope HBL have a good strategy for dual listing.?
    Has been a total waste of time for two other companies I hold shares in,EBO and TRA.

There are always 'options' out there if you are a good farmer. And if you are 'not so good', then a loan from Heartland gets more likely!

    Restructuring and ASX listing. A bit on the nose for NZ investors. Essentially saying they wont fully support capital raises.

    Hmm - I would need to look into that in more detail. Reserve Bank "constraints" are generally there for a good reason. You would need an equally good reason to want to operate outside of them.

    Agree that is the important bit. Does this mean they want to dabble in finance company activity more ? Buy Harmoney perhaps ?
    I invested in a bank and will be uneasy if this is the case.
    Disc. HBL is my biggest holding....12% of my portfolio.

    likewise for Briscoes too Percy.
    Not sure why so many are hell bent on dual listing and paying extra fees for little to no benefit
