FIIG reissues fixed income guide



Fixed income broker FIIG Securities has updated its reference guide to fixed-income investment, adding new content on tax, inflation-linked bonds, credit analysis, debt hybrids and investment and trading strategies.
First published in 2009, the recently released 2013 edition of the The Australian Guide to Fixed Income has been written by FIIG Securities' in-house research department, with the chapter on tax written by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
FIIG chief executive Mark Paton said the guide was part of FIIG's work to improve investor and planner education on fixed income and fits in with its accredited seminars, which cover products and developments in Australian fixed income markets.
"The production of this comprehensive reference guide is a major commitment to establishing fixed income as an essential component of an investor's portfolio allocation. We continue to devote significant time and resources towards investor and adviser education and learning how to achieve their investment goals," Paton said.
FIIG is making copies of the guide available at www.fiig.com.au.
