New analysis shows returns from Corporate Bonds beat hybrid returns over the longer term
Richard Murphy
Australian Corporate Bond Company
The chart below highlights comparative returns from Australian equities, hybrids and corporate bonds. What’s really interesting is that over the last 15 years, corporate bonds had an annualised return of 6.95% compared to hybrids at 6.29%, but with significantly lower volatility at 2.32% compared to 5.68%. In this video segment from Sky Business’ ‘Your Money Your Call’, Mark Todd, Don Stammer and Richard Murphy, discuss the comparison and performance of the three asset classes and what this means for investors looking for a properly diversified portfolio.
The question for investors remains, do you have the right balance of true fixed income in your portfolio?
