Which category has a greater percentage of non-performing loans. Just imagining what those returns could look like once we factor that in.

So the caclulation in the article tries to answer that question. It look like there is higher default rates with individuals but the higher intrest rates compensate for that.

Would be interesting to see what regional peers look like as well eg. SA big banks. I know it may not be comparing apples to apples but 🤷🏿‍♂️

Compared with Standard Bank SA in the last article it was 51% with mortgage related loans and without 15%

Ahh fair enough, looks like standard bank is making coin from retail then, but at the same time retail defaults can come for you really quickly I imagine, with corporate you can bake in some tidy covenants to help shield from reckless mgmt teams.

Capitec probably better case study. I think their ratio would be much higher

Must mean they’ll have v wide spreads to account for that risk. Great piece my man, will keep an eye out for more.
