Basis Points

Show Notes

Investors are facing a hole in their portfolio. Bank hybrids have been a popular product for retail investors, with 40% of the $40 billion market taken up by everyday Australians.

Now with APRA phasing out bank hybrids, advisers face a $16 billion hole to fill in client portfolios.

In this episode, we ask Helen Mason, Portfolio Manager at Schroders, where advisors can look to fill it?

We cover: •⁠ ⁠The hybrid phase-out explained: why it matters now, not 2032. •⁠ ⁠What makes Australian credit an institutional investor's best kept secret. •⁠ ⁠Differences between public vs private debt market. •⁠ ⁠How Helen’s fund CBOE:HIGH fits into an income portfolio.
