Diversification and Income

To protect a portfolio against share market volatility, investors can hold cash and deposit products which are generally immune to market fluctuations. However, investors are often reluctant to hold cash in excess of their immediate liquidity needs. Additionally, while cash products will maintain their value in a market downturn, they do not help offset the potential loss of value in risk assets such as equities by delivering a corresponding increase in value.

As an alternative to cash products, investing in Government bonds can provide positive returns that may go some way to offsetting losses in other parts of a portfolio during periods of volatility. Diversification by investing in Government bonds can also add an element of stability to returns as they provide predictable streams of income, even when equities may perform poorly.
