Fixed Income Trade Offs

Fixed income is often described as the defensive part of an investment portfolio. For many investors, it is expected to provide regular income, reduce reliance on share market returns and help smooth the overall investment journey. That description is broadly right. But it can also create an unrealistic expectation that fixed income investing is simple, safe and always stable.

Is it time to revisit fixed income?

Choosing what to invest in can be as difficult as maintaining a good diet. We all know we should eat healthily, yet how exciting would life be if we were always munching down on a quinoa and kale salad, leaving no room for an expensive steak, or a bag of your favourite lollies? Likewise, reliable, lower-risk bonds generally won't keep you up at night with wild price swings, yet do they offer the necessary returns available in riskier and perhaps more exciting asset classes?

Time to make higher interest rates your friend

If you follow the financial news closely, you may be tired of hearing about the RBA’s incessant rate rising and the resulting tales of woe around the country. It sometimes feels like interest rates are monopolising the airwaves at the expense of everything else. But what if hearing the words, “The RBA raises rates yet again,” were to inspire joy in your world (or at least indifference) rather than dread?

Unloved. Unwanted. Worthless.

To most people (particularly non-smokers), the idea of picking up a cigar butt from the gutter would rank fairly high on the ‘disgusting’ scale. Lighting it up and taking a few puffs - even more so. After all, there’s a reason people throw things away. Usually, it’s because they’re unloved, unwanted, or worthless. Often all three apply.
