The benefits of investing with MIPS

Investment
Expertise

The MIPS Portfolio Management team are experts focused entirely on creating value for investors.

Investors benefit from a regular income (coupon) stream that can either be distributed to a nominated bank account or automatically reinvested.

Portfolio
Diversification

MIPS maximises diversity through FIIG’s unique DirectBond service enabling us to offer bonds in $10,000 parcels. A $250,000 investment will, over time, hold 25 different bonds

Direct
Ownership

The bonds are held in your own name, they are not units in a trust.

How MIPS Works

Once you have chosen an Investment Program, the MIPS Portfolio Management Team (PMT) will invest in fixed income assets according to the program’s mandate and replicate its model portfolio. The MIPS PMT will rebalance your holdings in response to changes in markets and investment opportunities.

As a MIPS client, you receive:

Regular income payments (coupons) either reinvested or paid into your nominated account.

The opportunity to subscribe to multiple Investment Programs.

The option to transfer approved assets ‘in-specie’ into your MIPS account.
Full transparency, with 24/7 online access to your portfolio’s performance, valuations, transactions and income.

Monthly and annual statements of portfolio accounts, and a quarterly economic and fixed income market commentary from the MIPS PMT.
Invitation to regular presentations by the MIPS PMT in each state office.

Custodial services.

Compliance monitoring, supervisory oversight and independent audit by PWC.

MIPS offers wholesale investors the opportunity to earn meaningful improvements in returns and liquidity over Cash and Term Deposits through the direct ownership of a significantly diverse range of quality assets that include Australian Bank and Corporate Bonds

MIPS Investment Programs

The minimum investment amount for MIPS is $250,000 for each investment program, or $5m for a Customised Investment Program.

Conservative Income

4.29% Gross Yield to Maturity (YTM)

Regular income with exposure to investment grade credit only.

Conservative Income invests in investment grade senior and subordinated bonds. Longer dated bonds form a key part of portfolios generating yield from credit and interest rates. The mix of holdings of fixed and floating rate bonds will shift through the interest rate cycle.

Core Income

4.53% Gross Yield to Maturity (YTM)

Regular income investing in senior debt only.

Portfolios are predominantly exposed to investment grade senior bonds with a small allocation to unrated bonds. Exposure is to medium to longer tenor maturity profiles, facilitating higher yield generation. The mix of holdings of fixed and floating rate bonds will shift through the interest rate cycle.

Income Plus

6.06% Gross Yield to Maturity (YTM)

Higher income with moderate risk.

Income Plus has a broader mandate to invest across the capital structure, senior through to subordinated bonds, and across the credit spectrum to include investment and non-investment grade companies. The allocation to select non-investment grade credits based on credit strength and subordinated bonds generates portfolio yield. The credit exposure and mix of rated and unrated bonds will shift through the credit cycle.

Inflation-Linked Income

4.94% Gross Yield to Maturity (YTM)

Inflation Linked invests in pure inflation-linked bonds, CIBs and ILBs, issued by governments, semis and corporates and in FRNs that are highly correlated to inflation. FRNs are included to generate excess yield via credit exposure. The exposure to longer and shorter maturity ILBs will vary through the inflation cycle.
