BondAdviser launches new fixed income managed portfolio
The BondAdviser Income Plus portfolio is available on HUB24 and offers investors an alternative to term deposits, while they can maintain stability, regular income and consistent returns.
Australian Corporate Bond Company (ACBC) chief executive, and co-founder, Richard Murphy said, the fund will play a powerful role in providing better fixed income solutions for advisers and their clients.
It's the first managed portfolio available to advisers that includes XTBs on a separately managed account (SMA) platform.
Murphy said, "we are pleased to see XTBs feature as a key component of this portfolio as they provide an innovative and transparent way for investors to access the returns from corporate bonds from leading ASX listing companies."
