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

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
