Discussion topics:
- Fixed income market is changing as exemplified by negative bond yields
- Investors need to change with it. Investors used to rely on fixed income for income, now cash, term deposits etc are at record lows
- Investors should move up the risk curve ever so slightly to corporate loans. Corporate bonds/ loans offers these – with returns between 4 – 10%, depending on risk. Rather than one loan, now funds offering many – more diversified
- That risk is still well below equities (bonds / loans rank first)
- Non-bank corporate loans are also an alternative source of funds for corporates, rather than the big four banks
- Transforming corporate lending – Metrics is now the largest non-bank corporate lender in the country.
