Fixed Interest Securities

Up Funds Management provides clients with portfolio diversification through fixed interest securities.

What are Fixed Interest Securities?

Fixed interest securities are investment tools that offer both investment income and portfolio diversification. These products, including term deposits, bonds, and floating rate notes, play a pivotal role in our clients' investment strategies. Especially during periods of increased market volatility, fixed interest investments serve as a stabilizing force while offering attractive returns.

The ASX listed interest rate securities market is a popular choice in Australia, featuring regular issuances of hybrid securities (fixed interest securities with equity characteristics), fixed and floating rate securities, and government securities. Up Funds Management actively participates in this market, often involved in new issues within the Australian market.

Our Fixed Income Team also provides access to a variety of unlisted Australian and international bonds, catering to a broad range of Australian wholesale clients, institutional fund managers, corporate entities, and high-net-worth individuals.
