The ultimate guide to Australian income investing

No matter your age, market experience, or life goals, one thing every investor loves is a dividend. And with good reason! Australia has a friendly tax structure for those who rely on those dividends for passive income. But after 11 rate rises in an unprecedented year for markets, other investment avenues have come back into vogue. 

Bonds are back, thanks to a massive spike in yields across the government and corporate curves. Rental yields continue to go up, thanks primarily to the massive shortage in urban Australia. Even a term deposit can fetch you 5% interest at some financial institutions for just one year's patience. 

With so many options available, how can investors harness the powers of an income-oriented strategy? And which assets will pay out the most?

To answer those questions and to mark the start of Livewire's 5th annual Income Series, Signal or Noise is back with its first ever show dedicated to all things income investing.

Moderator Hans Lee returns to the chair, as does AMP's Diana Mousina. This month, they are also joined by two long-time Livewire contributors:

• Aaron Binsted, co-portfolio manager of the Australian equity strategy at Lazard Asset Management
• Pete Robinson, head of investment strategy at Challenger Investment Management
