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
