In this episode of "Wealth and Toil," hosts Luke Laretive and Dylan Pargiter-Green discuss the key elements of fixed interest investments.
Fixed interest, or fixed income, is a crucial component of a diversified investment portfolio. It's typically less volatile than equities and offers a more stable return, primarily through interest payments from bonds.
Mechanics of Fixed Interest:
Lending money to entities (corporate or governmental) and receiving regular interest payments (coupons), with the principal amount typically returned at the end of the bond's term.
Capital Structure:
The basics of a company's capital structure—assets, liabilities, and shareholder's equity. The priority of debt repayment over equity in cases of financial distress.
Benefits of Fixed Income:
Fixed income is portrayed as a stabiliser within a portfolio, offering protection against market volatility and often providing negative correlation with equity markets.
Types of Risks in Fixed Income:
Credit Risk:
The risk associated with the debtor's ability to make scheduled payments.
Interest Rate Risk:
Discusses how bond prices are inversely related to interest rate changes. The concept of duration, a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes.
Liquidity Risk:
The liquidity aspect of bonds, some bonds are more tradable than others.
Market Dynamics and Strategy:
How different environments, like changes in interest rates, affect bond prices and yields. Beware recency bias and understand the long-term nature of bond investments.
