Summary:
The hybrid securities market remains a dynamic space for income-seeking investors, with issuer-specific trends offering valuable clues about risk appetite, pricing behavior, and regulatory impact.
Among bank-issued hybrids, Judo Capital’s JDOPA stands out with the highest running yield in the market at 9.52%, supported by strong demand and relatively stable pricing. Its elevated issue margin and short call timeline suggest confidence in its credit profile, while also catering to investors seeking high income in a low-volatility, high-rate environment.
Latitude’s LFSPA follows closely with a running yield of 9.18%, though its trading margin of 12.12% signals investor caution. The discount pricing and wide margin reflect a market pricing in issuer-specific risk, diverging from the pricing behavior of major bank hybrids.
The Big Four banks—CBA, ANZ, NAB, and Westpac— continue to anchor the listed hybrid market with yields ranging from 6.4% to 7.3%, depending on structure, call dates, and franking credits. These securities remain favored for their stability and liquidity, although recent data shows a trend toward yield compression, especially in longer-dated issues.
Notably, Westpac’s WBCPH, with a call date in September 2025, is trading at a margin of 30.45%, reflecting the typical premium as hybrids approach their scheduled call. This sharp uplift provides short-term yield opportunities but is a reminder of the reinvestment risk facing investors when securities mature or are called early.
Outside traditional bank issuers, corporate hybrids continue to attract attention. Nufarm’s NFNG and Ramsay Health Care’s RHCPA, both perpetual and structurally complex, are offering running yields of 9.04% and 8.35% respectively. These securities diversify hybrid exposure beyond the banking sector but carry added complexity due to their perpetual nature and call optionality.
Looking ahead, APRA’s 2032 hybrid phase-out remains a long-term structural shift. As issuers gradually move toward Tier 2 subordinated debt to meet regulatory requirements, investors can expect reduced supply of traditional hybrids and potentially more demand-driven price firming in the coming years.
For now, the hybrid market continues to offer fertile ground for yield-focused investors. Issuer differentiation and margin spreads are creating tactical opportunities across the risk spectrum. YieldReport will continue monitoring these developments to help investors navigate this evolving segment with clarity and confidence.
