IFL - Insignia Financial

Jump to new
Not a good look when a company wants to change its name after 175 years, kind of indicates how much good will they apportion to their brand IMO.

Insignia Financial

Financial services giant IOOF has launched its first significant rebrand in 175 years of operation and announced it will change its name to Insignia Financial.22 Oct 2021

DNH
 
Change of Company Name Following approval at the IOOF Holdings Ltd Annual General Meeting on 25 November 2021, we are pleased to announce that the change of name process with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has now been completed and the Company’s name has been changed to Insignia Financial Ltd.
Attached is a consolidated constitution which incorporates the amendments approved by shareholders on 25 November 2021. The ASX listing code for the Company will remain the same, IFL. -ENDS

i hold IFL ( deeply in the red )

i see name ( and/or ticker-code ) changes as a red flag in most circumstances

( it strongly hints your brand is trashed )
 
Another one of my dogs, sold out when they said they were going to buy MLC off NAB.
It certainly says something when you bin the goodwill that is attached to your 200 year legacy FW's IMO.
Another one I held that did the same thing was Candle, changed the name to Clarius and strapped themselves in for the rapid slide down the pit.
 
i may yet regret not doing the same

i probably should have suggested it for gg's Dogs of December , but i think gg was looking something that MIGHT have a reason to go positive

this is still very low priority on my top-up list ( or average-down which is probably more accurate , since i am down more than 50% , so far )
 
I wasn't saying they won't come good, but IMO the reason the banks got out of super was because it is difficult to compete with funds that don't pay a dividend, having to beat them on performance when you have a 4% dividend handicap will be difficult IMO.
Just my reasoning, hope you get back in the black, I lost about 30% on them from memory, bought in around $5, when they where a nimble clever operation.
 
mine set me back $8.67 , but i see several coming headwinds , one being the persistent government meddling ( by word and regulation ) in the investment/Super industry , now several local players have been brutally savaged and IFL MIGHT leverage that for a future turn-around , but comparing it to the JHG i have bought during the same period ( i held some as Henderson before that)

i guess one might ask if the difference is management or geo-political risk ( one is up more than 50% and the other down 50% in the same 4 years )

now that turn-around possibility is what has kept it on the potential top-up list , but when do i concede those brief hints of growth are just attempts to buy their way out of trouble ( with certain asset sellers staying on the hook to cover expected adverse outcomes )

still that investments in this industry have been mostly a positive outcome ( BTT @ $2.30 turned into PDL ) even PAC has finally got back to break-even .

this is my 'dog' in the sector , but the question is is it also opportunity winking at me

DYOR

( similar to when i backed up the truck for those 40 cent BSL sure they consolidated later to give an effective buy-in price of $2.40 , or is IFL still on the long and winding road down like OST/ARI )
 
Could IFL be forming a decent base after a good market response recently? Anything is possible - find out more from an analysis of the charts within the attached video looking at an analysis of the overall market, sector analysis of the financial sector, as well as analysis of IFL:

 
mmmmm

I'd be interested in Divsie's @divs4ever take on this little yapper.

By my reckoning it has been paying near 10% in divies, and on the face of it would be a "brave" buy in any circumstances, but shortly may be too cheap to ignore.

currently have IFL and PTM on my 'ignore list ( i hold both deep underwater )

very few of the fund managers are doing anything more than leaking funds under management , and without stellar performance can you really blame investors for liberating capital .

add to the fact the Hayne Royal Commission was rather unkind to IFL ( but not as nasty as it was to AMP ) and you have reputation damage to leverage a better discount , i can't see me buying above $2 , and so far can't see much reason to buy any pure-play wealth manager ( at current prices )

at sub $2 i am more likely to add extra MYS ( as i did in October ) and harness the bank/wealth manager balancing act

wealth management , i think, will face further testing times in the near future

Listed Fund/Wealth managers is another sector that Greg Canavan is taking a contrarian stance on - he has previously made supportive arguments on the fossil fuels and reits sectors. His latest recc for this sector is ... IFL. That should put paid to Garpal's interest.

Not Held
 
i have a few ( IFL and other wealth managers )

PDL was a good winner for me until it got taken-over ( bought it as BTT )

i see more stress to come in the financial markets ( aided by the ESG and Climate Change crowd )

Market Matters arvo report:
  • Insignia (IFL) +13.64%, the old IOOF ripped higher, apparently in the crosshairs of Brookfield. StreetTalk reporting sources said Brookfield’s interest is “very early stage” and no decision had been made to table a bid or formally approach the board.
 
Greg Canavan was first among the pros with his IFL tip, accompanied by analysis, and opened a position with Perenti in March.

Dear Bozo,

This week provided solid evidence of the effectiveness of our investment strategy.

On Monday, two of our companies — Perenti [ASX PRN] and Insignia Financial [ASX:IFL] provided positive updates. Both share prices rose more than 5% on a day when the broader market fell 0.5%.

The price didn’t rise because of the good news. It rose because the market has mispriced these companies. There was and is a lot of pessimism in the price. So when good news hits, the share price jumps.

It doesn’t always happen like that though. Sometimes companies with a lot of pessimism priced in keeps delivering pessimistic news.

It’s my job to find the ones that are mispriced.

I think that is the case with both PRN and IFL.
