22. How Financial Planners Are Using Trust Deed Investing We actually use these quite a bit. We like that it is not correlated to the stock market and position this as an exclusive, private investment that only our clients have access to. To us, these trust deed investments are a key tool in our portfolios. Wealth Manager, $260 million AUM I handle it as an alternative asset:high yield fixed income with its best selling point being both the yield and its low correlation with other market assets. Financial Planner, $750 million AUM When we use this vehicle I call it high yield, and make it part of my bond asset class, separate from, and therefore adding to diversification , any other bond type.
