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.

The Year Ahead - What we already know

Some years ago, when the Aussie Dollar was trading at $0.88, a number of leading economists were asked for their twelve-month forecasts. One confidently said our dollar would reach parity with the US dollar within a year. Instead, the AUD finished the year 34 per cent down at $0.58. Making economic predictions is fraught with peril. Economics is more art than science, and a modern economy has many moving parts that don’t always behave rationally. Still, looking ahead in 2023, there are some things we can reasonably expect.

The Best Investment - Ever

Have you ever wondered what the best share market investment of all time is? It’s not Apple, the world’s first trillion-dollar business. It’s not Meta Platforms Inc (the company formerly known as Facebook) either, although plenty of people who ‘liked’ Facebook enough in the early days to invest in it have become millionaires. You may never have heard the name of the best investment of all time, although you certainly know about its products. You may even be a customer.

The rise of central bank digital currencies

The Reserve Bank of Australia is running a pilot to explore retail use cases for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) — a digital Aussie dollar or e-dollar, which could be held digitally like cryptocurrencies. This is not the first time CBDC is being tested for real-world use by the RBA. It has carried out two pilots in the last two years to test tokenised CBDC for the wholesale market and cross-border payments.

BNPL shares - will buying now pay later?

Just five years ago, most people had never heard of a little company called Afterpay. And the words “buy now, pay later” (now known simply as BNPL) weren’t in common use. That’s all changed. In fact, the way people pay for retail goods in Australia was revolutionised by Afterpay. The question is, is BNPL the way of the future, or just a passing fad?

How low can crypto go?

If we’re going to talk about cryptocurrencies, let’s start with how many of them exist. And that’s not easy to answer. In the often murky world of digital assets, even establishing the number of currencies is problematic. Depending on the source, in June 2022, somewhere between 2,800 and 19,000 had been created.
