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.

Core Income Investment Program

Core Income

4.52%
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.

Conservative Investment Program

Income Plus

6.01%

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.
