Fixed Interest Securities

Offering clients portfolio diversification with fixed interest securities

What are Fixed Interest Securities?

Fixed interest securities offer investors investment income and portfolio diversification and come in many forms.

Fixed interest products, include term deposits, bonds and floating rate notes, often play an important role in our clients' investment strategies. In times of increased market volatility, fixed interest investments act to provide a stabilising influence whilst delivering attractive rates of return.

The ASX listed interest rate securities market is popular in the Australian market, with regular issuance of securities, which now includes both hybrid securities (fixed interest securities with equity characteristics) fixed and floating rate securities and government securities.

Ords has been a key participant in this market with representation on most of the new issues placed in the Australian market.
