My white liberal heart bleeds for you both. The world keeps changing.
But perhaps even a couple of ageing reactionaries and a tree hugging pakeha liberal can all take comfort from the financial performance of the organisation, even if we disagree about the contribution of the "social services" rhetoric.
Well I feel better now. Thanks.
And I agree....more than happy with my Heartland shares. The only thing that really annoys me is that at ~10% of my portfolio....I really can't justify any more. Even using Horus's trick of using the cost price instead of the current price.
Cheers

Come on horus, don't leave us hanging....where did this info come from, or pure speculation on your part...hgh had $ 250 million facility but dished out $124 million in Australia last year but only received $24 mill back so will there come a tipping point ot does reverse portfolio just keep getting bigger
There's normal inclusivity in this heightened ESG world we live in and then there's Heartland.
I am not so naïve as to think there is not commercial purpose behind it. To the best of my knowledge Heartland are alone on the NZX in terms of wanting to be seen as the Maori employer of choice and the frequency of the Te Reo lessons distributed throughout the annual review suggests there is serious Iwi money invested in Heartland and they have told the directors what they expect in return.
I was going to add to my 5% portfolio position in HGH but after reading the annual review, I'm not.
With heaps of iwi money invested with them can’t see Heartland sponsoring the replica of the Endeavour
It was in a paper, forget which one about NZ reverse mortgages picking up.
Winner has been a tremendous advocate for encouraging diversity and inclusiveness within companies and helped us understand the benefits of same and that is fine and I appreciate him sharing his experience and wisdom. All that is fine but to be clear, what makes me very uncomfortable with HGH is that they single one particular ethnicity out for very special treatment, that's something quite different.
Perhaps someone who lives in Christchurch could take the board to task over this at the annual meeting ?
I have read their annual report/review documents, and while they have obviously done a great deal of work on the Māori side of things, that doesn’t mean they are excluding other cultures. I have no doubt whatsoever that they employee people from many different cultures. They are thinking outside the square and aim to create a culturally diverse workforce/team, which they are to be commended for. I particularly like the fact that they employ many young people. Heartland seems to be a genuine and passionate employer and are doing much more than most businesses whose cultural inclusiveness is often nothing more than lip service.
For us liberal pakehas, we are a bicultural country before we are a multicultural one. In that regard, te reo is one of the country's official languages, and it is perfectly appropriate to recognise the status of tangata whenua as an important part of New Zealand's unique identity.
Era cualquier cosa. We should get back to discussing investment fundamental's.
