Fellow Strawpeople,
Looking for an alternative view. Have some spare cash, I’m a patient man and can wait for the tax loss selling, the uncertainty around the Ukraine conflict, Covid shutdowns in China, rising interest rates,inflation,supply chain issues,wage pressures,falling Stockmarket, etc So where to park funds, cash no good, Bonds not yet, Hybrid? Came across Macquarie’s Capital Note 3, $100 note, bought some at $100.70 quarterly partially franked distribution coupon 3M BBSW + 4% today’s 3m BBSW 1.7989 and over the last 2 weeks has risen from 1.2350. So the beauty of this instrument is that its floating and in this current environment its probably going one way. So my question what am I missing, what are my risks, the prospectus is 135 pages so way too much detail for me. So would love to hear the bear case, as it seems a relatively low risk place to park fund for the near term
