Q: Good Morning Peter & Team :
I think there are good investment opportunities in businesses involved in financing loans to self-employed people or people with poor or no credit history, euphemistically called "bruised credit". These are companies that provide chattel mortgages [mainly car loans] and/or "Payday" loans. The companies must have rigorous and effective loan loss controls in place. Many of the widely advertised payday loan companies such as Wonga and Cash Stores do not appear to trade on any exchange but there must be others that do.
So far I have identified Easyhome [EH], Carfinco [CFN], and Rifco [RFC] which might fit into this general category of high risk loans.
I would appreciate your advice on what other companies there are that I should consider, and I would value your opinion on the best and safest way to invest in this category, for both strong growth and at least a modest dividend.
Thankyou........... Paul
