Diversity and balance

Provides diversity
and balance

We combine fixed, floating and inflation linked securities and ensure all the bonds in the portfolio are investment grade securities.

  • Fixed Rate Bonds pay the same coupon amount throughout the life of the bonds, allowing you to predict cash flow.
  • Floating Rate Bonds move with the market interest rate and increase your return when rates rise.
  • Inflation Linked Bonds allow you to protect against rising inflation.

An allocation to senior debt securities means your investment is prioritised above shareholders for repayment. This protects your investment in the event of a problem with one of the issuers, because legally if the company goes into liquidation, any available funds will be repaid to senior investors before equity investors.

This portfolio has 16 securities with weightings between 3.23% and 10.35%, yielding 6.83% pa*. It is designed for investors wanting higher yield than a solely investment grade portfolio by taking measured credit risk. The returns shown are based on ~$605,000 investment. $50,000 is the minimum amount that can be invested with FIIG.

An investment in notes, bonds or securities should not be compared to a bank deposit. Notes, bonds and securities have a greater risk of loss of some or all of an investor’s capital when compared to bank deposits. Past performance of any product described in any communication from FIIG is not a reliable indication of future performance. Forecasts contained in this document are predictive in character and based on assumptions, such as a 2.5% p.a. assumed rate of inflation (unless otherwise specified), foreign exchange rates, or forward interest rate curves generally available at the time, and no reliance should be placed on the accuracy of any forecast information. The actual results may differ substantially from the forecasts and are subject to change without further notice. FIIG may quote to you an estimated yield when you purchase a bond. This yield may be calculated by FIIG on either A) a yield to maturity date basis; or B) a yield to early redemption date basis. Some bond issuances include multiple early redemption dates and prices, therefore the realised yield earned by you on the bond may differ from the yield estimated or quoted by FIIG at the time of your purchase.
