Corporate Bonds and other Asset Classes

We provide a wide range of securities for those looking for additional investment opportunities. Through various securities, investors can earn high returns and choose their preferred level of risk exposure.

Credit risk can be spread through a large portfolio of institutions due to the broad portfolio of issuers participating in the market. Residential and commercial mortgages and assets such as airports can be utilised for our securities. Our investor team can tailor product solutions to meet investor specific needs. Some examples of these types of securities are outlined below.

Corporate Bonds

Corporate Bonds generally offer higher returns than Government and Semi-Government bonds. These are a means of direct investment into established corporations that differ distinctly from direct equity holdings. Investors can choose from a wide range of corporate bonds with varied credit-ratings and returns.

Floating Rate Notes

Floating rate notes are medium-term bonds with regular interest payments. Returns are provided by paying a margin above a floating benchmark, generally the 90-day bank bill swap rate. The margin is initially determined on the issue date by the credit-rating of the issuer, the term to maturity and the market participation of the issuer. The credit-rating of the issuer represents an assessment of their ability to repay the principal of the investment at maturity.

We maintain a broad portfolio of issuers with varying credit-ratings and various maturities to suit the client's investment portfolio and preferred level of risk. Floating rate notes are issued by banks, building societies, credit unions and domestic and offshore corporations.

Mortgage Backed Securities

A mortgage backed security is an ownership position backed by a pool of mortgage loans. It is a bond in which interest and principal received from this pool of mortgage loans are passed through to the bondholders. They are generally AAA rated.

Investors interested in the steady returns of fixed income may want to consider mortgage backed securities. Offered through our Medallion program, our securities can be secured by residential and commercial mortgages or other assets such as airports. 

Asset Backed Securities

Our investment team has vast experience in structured and asset backed securities and we have the capacity to structure investment vehicles that are tailored to specific needs. Asset backed securities are supported by defined assets such as trade receivables, credit cards, commercial or personal loans, equipment leases and airport infrastructure assets, etc.

Structured Securities

We tailor our structured securities (bonds) to fit the investors' demand and requirements. We do this by purchasing a bond or floating rate note and repackaging the cash flow to meet investor demand.

We offer products such as credit linked and reverse convertible notes and can tailor the offering to coincide with client needs.
