This is an unusal sponsorship. Bonds are a very niche market in Australia and not really for retail type clients so not sure what they would be getting out of the exposure.

As for IG, I suspect their agreement ran out. They probably got what they needed. I see their competitor CMC Markets sponsors the Saints which I assume is a direct result of IG sponsoring melbourne....FOMO

    Well done MFC for keeping the sponsorship dollars rolling in.

     

    Would have thought @Bitter but optimistic already had this covered?

    I share your concern jr.  Bonds are a niche market.   More so the Corporate Bond (not Government Bonds) which ABE deals in.

    ABE started in 2015.  After a bit of googling I haven't found anything substantial about their performance.  Their 2020 report reads like a marketing spiel.  AGMFY20.pdf.

    What they get out of the exposure:  my reading of their website is that they are targeting retail investors, in particular those near or at retirement age.  I suspect there would be lots of those in the mfc member ranks.  Hopefully, folks do their due diligence before investing in any new product with ABE or anyone else.

    I think they're a bit like FIIG  - they cut and dice bonds/hybrids etc that are usually minimum parcel size of at least $500k so to create a market for retail investors, who are looking for something better than cash rates. Problem is when there is a market shock (ie GFC, Covid in March 2020), values tumble like shares. LH is bang on re DD.

    I don't really have any concerns about them, just think its unusual. Not sure where they will get a return out of this.

    As it turns out I know one of the guys on their website so I'll probably ask him next time I see him.

     

    And yes they are a little like FIIG.

    The principle of caveat emptor has been around for a long time. Always do your DD no matter who you are dealing with.

    As a supporter all i care about is:

    ·         how much is the deal worth

    ·         have they the capacity to pay

    Fascinating sponsorship. So they trade corporate bonds. I wonder if they are secondary market participants for government bonds. Fed gov bonds are the safest storer of wealth you can get. Corporate welfare on steroids.

    They’ve done their market research, I’ll give them that.

    Unfortunately I don’t fit the stereotype of the Melbourne supporter, so I’ll stick to my 40% off New Balance vouchers thanks.

    I get that this is a niche sponsorship but in that being said, how many people here have bought a Jaguar since they became a sponsor of Melbourne or Vauxhaul before that?

    It's not everday you decide to go out and buy a new car, especially with the only thought being oh they support Melbourne so I'll buy whatever they make.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
