Can we please logically consider the pension fund funding? 17:37 - Feb 26 with 1100 views | J2BLUE | Do we think: A) A pension fund is making a low risk loan to a consortium backed by high net worth individuals for a set return or B) A pension fund has literally decided to take a random gamble on a club which currently makes a big loss each year. Which is more likely? Obviously B is slightly more likely if it's California and not Rhode Island but really, it's got to be A hasn't it? | |

or the interest rate is high enough to make it interesting? | |

That's a one off payment. Quite a few people think they have committed to funding the club on an ongoing basis. | |

Yes but do you agree the pension fund are not going to fund the club for the future including transfers, wages etc? That's the point lots are making. I'd be amazed if it's not just a loan. | |

good point The initial to the buyers may be big enough to cover 'running costs' or even include a drawdown facility where additional funds cam be accessed if needed up to a limit | |

The point I was making in response to people panicking was that it's unlikely a pension fund is going to buy a club, throw millions at it and then get no return. It's far more likely, as you say, they are either investing a tiny portion of assets up to a certain point or it's a loan with a guaranteed return. | |

the difference though to a loan from marcus evans is that we won't be able to just roll up the interest and add it to the debt. interest will now be a real outflow of funds. | |

How can it be repaid until we're in the Prem? Taking interest is just damaging their chances of ever getting their money back. Makes no sense. | |

It may not be, the interest may have an accrual option | |

for a pension fund to accept that level off risk the eventual pay off would need to be very high. it's not the sort of thing i imagine fitting into a pension fund portfolio. but who knows. | |

but that would just roll up the risk for the pension fund. do they really lend on that sort of very high risk basis? | |

It would depend on how its structured and what the get out clauses are Only, dont forget, these financial instruments have a market value so it is say 5 years the pension fund wanted money back they could simply sell the loan to a 3rd party | |

it's very interesting. pension funds structure their portfolio to match future liabilities. so commercial loans of a particular duration play a very specific role - and they match any risk against the interest rate. but for obvious reasons that doesn't tend to include very high risk loans. other than very big funds any exposure to higher risk assets would be through pooled vehicles - private equity funds, or secondary debt funds - so their exposure to particular individual projects is usually very low. my bet therefore is that it can only be a conventional commercial loan to the consortium secured on other assets. yes they can sell it on - but only for what it is then worth, so the risk remains. someone, somewhere in all of this is doubtless doing something very clever financially, but i wouldn't expect that to be the pension fund. | |
