MFI/FTD rates?
Are LOLC and Prasac still offering 24-36 month 7.5% interest (before tax)? Any others offering more??

with the huge number of MF takers in Cambodia it should not be difficult to find one taker directly who offers double what your looking for.

Re: MFI/FTD rates?
I have to disagree with truffle dog. Lending to a single borrower is always much more risky than to an institution who lends to thousands of borrowers thus spreading the risk. To lose your money in an institution the whole institution has to fail but an individual is much more likely to be unable to pay - especially now during coronavirus hysteria.
To answer your question - Prasac is now offering 7% I believe and LOLC is likely to be similar. In terms of risk I would suggest that LOLC is higher risk than Prasac. LOLC is owned by an obscure private company in Singapore which is likely owned by Sri Lankan interests. Prasac however is owned by Kookmin Bank from Korea and is a much larger institution. For these reasons I would recommend Prasac.

Re: MFI/FTD rates?
Prasac was Sri Lankan owned until recently, but perhaps you mean their operations were more transparent than LOLC?

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
Re: MFI/FTD rates?
No this is wrong theory. A longer term means the potential total earnings are greater. This assumes the interest is fixed for the term which it usually is (but not always - check the conditions). Only invest in short term interest bearing securities if you believe interest rates will increase during the term. The only other reason is if you think you will need the capital after the shorter term.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 8:20 pm interest for 12 months same as 24 or 36 so why tie it up??

I know Prasac was owned by LOLC before but not now. The ownership of LOLC Cambodia is obscure which is why I believe its a higher risk.

Re: MFI/FTD rates?
you forgot that i asked the direct loan to be secured by a collateral (like land or anything else that has real value in case of failing to repay). You do not have anything securing your lending to any cambodian bank, Thus direct (secured) lending in my case is to be considered safer. Up to you which one you prefer.samrong01 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 16, 2020 7:48 pm I have to disagree with truffle dog.
