Napier Port IPO

[Aaron]

Bit of news in the Herald this morning re the Napier Port float. 4% expected yield.
c.f.
MMH 4.14%
POT 4.07%
SPN 5.47%

Doesn't sound very exciting. Will it be in an index? Probably worth stagging if bigger institutional investors have to buy more but the amount you might get allocated probably doesn't make it worthwhile. Although infrastructure and utility assets appeal to my conservative nature. Although accepting 4% means my retirement savings in theory need to climb from $1mill at 7% to $1.75mill at 4% not looking likely at this stage especially as acceptable yields keep dropping. That's right I am hoping for $70k before tax from my retirement savings. Probably just enough to not be entitled to any national super when I retire.
