They have some exposure to one of the failed timber AIS stocks i think, from memory so please correct me if im wrong....still HHY like most of the other Hastings funds seem to be doing ok on a dividend/distribution yield basis.

 

[Morris Holdings]

This stock is representing a yield similar to TLS and pays dividends quarterly. The companies it holds investments are very low risk I dont understand why its not a more popular stock. the majority shareholder is a super fund so it must have a good risk level.

Came upon this little fund while searching for yield. Yielding 12.5% (unfranked) at the moment, with quarterly dividends.

The other Hastings funds I've come across seem pretty well managed and by focussing on fixed interest the HHY portfolio is relatively low risk (assuming no major defaults!). Having said that, they reported a loss for FY11 due to writing down one of their loan investments, but they also paid down their debt facility early 2011.

Currently trading at a discount to NTA. Chart is nothing special (sorry can't attach it from work) - it seems to track the all ords but if you can pick it up at the right price then the yield is great - although unfranked.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Tremmas - interesting company - a first pass at the financial report would suggest to me it is, IMHO, for sophisticated investor with VERY high risk profile - yikes theres trolls all over this - all sort s of swaps, cross currency this and that that could trash earnigns, $1m fees on on $17m turnover!, $35m loans written off, negative retained earnings ! loss for the year so where do you think the divie comes from??.........better stuff elsewhere....

Hey mgm1a. Thanks for your opinion.

Yep, the more I read, the less convinced I became. Good to hear it from someone else too. That's the thing about chasing yield - there's always a reason it's high!
