Private credit and income strategies have attracted plenty of interest from Australian investors - but many may not fully understand what they actually own.

Sean Aylmer speaks with Michael Frearson, Head of Fixed Income at Real Asset Management (RAM), about what’s really “under the hood” of fixed income investments. He explains how rising interest rates and global uncertainty are impacting sentiment - and why some investors may be selling without understanding the underlying assets.
