Finance Specialist: Is the yield chase getting risky?

But as investors chase yield, are they also taking on more risk?

Broker Daily’s Liam Garman and Accendo’s Trent Carter unpack the changing investment landscape, from the growing appeal of commercial property and whole unit blocks to the risks emerging in regional markets where yields can reach double digits.

The pair also discuss the role brokers can play in pressure-testing investment assumptions, from asking what happens if rents fall or interest rates stay higher for longer to scrutinising tenant arrangements and the underlying quality of a deal.

With more residential investors moving into unfamiliar asset classes, Garman and Carter look at why brokers need to understand what sits behind the headline yield – and when asking the difficult questions could save a client from a bad deal.
