Listed Income Securities – where is the best value today?

The ASX-listed income space continues to offer investors an appealing alternative to traditional fixed income, term deposits and even parts of the equity market, particularly for those seeking regular cash flow in a still-uncertain macro backdrop. Yields across the sector are generally sitting in the 7% to 10% range as shown in the table below, with most vehicles also trading at a discount to their underlying asset value (NTA), which on the surface at least, makes the area look attractive.

Xero Ltd (XRO)

Dear James and Team I have been a subscriber for many years and respect your views and strategy on the market This week you topped up on Xero . I agree with you that this is a quality business and on a risk/reward basis could well be higher in 12 months time ( along with many other software companies ) What was your trigger to top up now ? I am not questioning your judgement but just trying to understand your process Was your decision based on a price point , or some other factors For the record I do own Xero and will top up at some stage , but not until I see some evidence of price appreciation above the moving averages I look forward to your comments Many thanks David

I'm interested to hear if you are considering Aurizon for the Income portfolio and if not why not. I note that it has just paid a worthwhile dividend.
