Fixed Income

Access the Fixed Income market via investments in corporate bonds. Australia’s bond market represents two thirds of the capitalisation of the listed Australian equity market with annual turnover of AUS$2.5 trillion turnover that is more than double the turnover of the listed equity market.
A change in Legislation has opened this market up to more investors. This increased accessibility is especially important for the trustees of Australia’s 600,000 self-managed superannuation fund, who control A$700 billion in assets, a significant portion of which is currently sitting in cash accounts.

Why Invest in Bond Market

Investing in the Fixed Income market bring plenty of benefits to any portfolio some of these include:

Capital preservation

Bonds return capital at maturity and provide a known level of income which is usually higher than that delivered by term deposits. This makes bonds appealing to investors who do not want to risk losing capital, such as retirees and those who are saving to meet a future liability (such as a deposit on a home purchase). With equity investments, there is no certainty that your capital will be preserved.

Income

Most bond issuers commit to providing investors with a ‘fixed’ level of income at regular intervals (quarterly, twice yearly or annually) over the term of the bond. This is why investments in Bonds are sometimes called Fixed Income investments. In contrast to equity investments, which pay smaller, variable and discretionary income Fixed income investments pay a fixed predetermined amount.

Diversification

Equity and bond market returns generally have an inverse relationship, i.e. bonds tend to rise in value when equities fall. Consequently, diversifying an investment portfolio’s exposures by including bonds can significantly reduce the risk and enhance the return of the portfolio.

Capital appreciation

Bond prices can rise for several reasons, including a reduction in interest rates and an improvement in the credit standing of the issuer. A well-managed, high quality bond portfolio can appreciate in value over time and deliver total returns (from income and capital appreciation) that compares favourably with, and can at times exceed, equity market returns.
