Hybrid Securities – Equity Downside for Fixed Interest Returns
Tim Kelley
November 16, 2012
We often hold a material amount of cash in our funds management operation and, with deposit rates at painfully low levels, we have been considering ways we might work the cash a bit harder. Like many investors, we have focused attention on hybrid securities as one possibility.
Having studied this possibility for a short time we are now focusing elsewhere. Analysis of the terms of some of the recent offerings reveals highly complex instruments with concealed downside risks and an interest rate that falls well short of compensating investors for the hidden downside. A cynical observer might think that some of these products are designed to exploit retail investors who are unable to fully assess the downside risks they are taking on.

By Russell Muldoon & Roger Montgomery
We like to keep an eye on monthly new car sales statistics produced by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. For a number of businesses we are interested in, including Carsales and ARB Corporation, they are both beneficiaries of a high level of new vehicle turnover.

RBA favours ‘riskier’ investments?
Tim Kelley
November 7, 2012
In the wake of the RBA’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged it’s interesting to see some of the commentary on the attractiveness of fixed interest versus ‘riskier’ investments, including property and shares. RBA governor Glenn Stevens is reported to favour investors moving into these asset classes away from low-yielding term deposits.
We have recently been doing some interesting analysis to better understand the long-term value proposition currently offered by the Australian equity markets. We will share the results of the analysis here when completed, but the emerging view – for those with a long-term perspective – is that governor Stevens has a valid point.

Know your Options
Tim Kelley
November 1, 2012
From time to time we are asked about option strategies. There are many different types of option strategy, and the merits of any given one depends very much on the particular strategy and the circumstances, but there are a few general principles that are worth keeping in mind. These include:-
