Hi Dingle, A useful thread, unfortunately it might not get much traction off the politics thread. The difficulty faced by people is maintaining yield , without pushing the risks up to unacceptable levels. To add a few more to your list of securities, can't,gne, amc, vcx( property trusts in general). Unlisted property trusts are worth a look. The reverse of dividend stripping worth a look, ie selling just prior to ex divi. Corporate bonds thru people like FIIG might be useful. Direct property, maybe, but I don't have big enough balls for that. My belief is that the need for more nonfranked investments , will cause the market to respond with a range of instruments to fulfil those needs, both listed and unlisted So why hasn't that happened yet? Possibly because the market thinks the policy is unlikely to happen. I started tentative moves in both my SMSF and outside last year, but paused as I don't think it will happen. cheers
