Who Invests In Australian Corporate Bonds?
Australian corporate bonds are a secure financial instrument that offer a secure, stable and reliable source of income at interest rates far superior to other comparable investments. The current average yield is around 4-5% with a maturity of 3-4 years. This compares favourably to the current average yield on bank deposits returning 0.3-0.5%.
Earn Regular Income
Bonds have been the cornerstone of any diversified investment portfolio for hundreds of years. They provide a solid foundation for all other forms of investment. Statistical evidence suggests the best performing balanced portfolios hold at least 30-40% of total assets in fixed income investments.
A general rule of thumb for asset allocation is to take your age and subtract it from 110 to determine what percentage should be invested in risky assets and the remainder allocated to fixed income. Particularly as you near retirement and no longer have time to earn back losses. So if you’re 50 years old, 60% should be in risky assets with the balance of 40% in fixed income.
