Our Values

We fight for fixed income.

We are passionate about the role of fixed income in helping Australians live a secure, sustainable retirement.

We are committed to education and increasing the understanding of fixed income and its important role in a balanced portfolio.

We are inspired by investment ideas that help build an income that will allow more Australians to live their best life.

Our Purpose

Building knowledge and confidence

Fixed income is the world’s largest asset class with a highly diversified range of investments across all levels of risk. In Australia there are more than $1.5 trillion worth of fixed interest securities on issue.

Despite a growing trend towards self managed superannuation funds, many Australians still lack a basic understanding of the value and importance of fixed income.

We are committed to providing the tools and confidence to allow more Australians to invest in fixed income. We will unravel the complexity of fixed income by using language that all investors can understand.

At Fixed Income News Australia our role is to facilitate greater awareness of fixed income and campaign for greater access for personal investors and retirees.
