A new report has been released that is designed to help advisers and investors compare the issues and risks of different income-orientated products.

The study, commissioned by Mirvac Aqua, identifies six major income product groups — cash/enhanced cash, domestic bonds, global bonds, mortgages, high-yield and hybrid income — and discusses each group’s key characteristics.

The study investigates correlations between each of the groups in areas that concern portfolio construction and provides reminders of the critical risks and effects that changing economic conditions may have.

The report also offers advisers a guide to use in their assessments, with tips on issues such as levels of diversification, new products, risk versus returns and mortgage fund payments.
