Macquarie Bank abandons SMSF Property Loans - article "New Daily" Yesterday, page-15

you're certainly not wrong on the speculation comment - some facts would be a welcome change.

banks (like most businesses) always have a plan. that said I don think - particularly given the scrutiny they are under they they are really focused on wasting, time, resources and therefore money executing a trial of there is no underlying benefit (value) in doing so.

regardless of bank funding you might need to become more attune with the quantum of Private money becoming available to lenders and borrowers - it's astounding, and something that I genuinely think banks are aware of and not something they are or will be withdrawing from 100% - how many businesses stay in the game by being a participants rather than the one stop shop so as to still get a piece of the action without the scrutiny or obligation to operate/manage.

given you're supposedly from the banking game @mayafushi I'm assuming you can draw on such examples where banks provided funding and still provide funding through other banks or brands in order to get money lent out without being the actual face behind it.

so @mayafushi - a VC/PE that's invested circa $2.95m that's made money from both property and lending and investment platforms, plus follow on investment of $1.315m, plus bank trial, plus additional good news in respects of legal cases, plus FUM growth, plus improved cash flows and you still want to rag all over the company - I actually question as do most people, your motives?
