Description

Join our host Emily Barlow (Perpetual Private) and Charlie Callan (BondAdviser) our Fixed Interest Category Winner at the IMAP Managed Account Awards 2025.  They discuss;

  • The key changes they are seeing in the Australian fixed interest market right now
  •  AT1 hybrids are trading at post-GFC tights, with Big Four margins around +185bps. What’s driving this demand-supply imbalance?
  • How investors think about liquidity and volatility risk
  • Tier 2 spreads have compressed too far, partly due to ETFs making up about 8% of the universe. What’s your advice on positioning in this context?
  • BondAdvisors have noted wave of issuance recently; is this just post-reporting season activity, or a sign of deeper appetite for A$ credit?
  • Will international names continue dominating issuance
  • Lonsec recently downgraded Metrics’ flagship fund. Should investors read this as a broader signal for the private credit space?
  • Private Credit as an asset class and the way investors should assess risk in this part of the market
