I agree with ASIC on this one. The term "Hybrid" is misleading and we've all seen commentary bagging it (some of it from people not qualified to comment; who've simply recycled it). Some so-called "Hybrids" are pure debt and suitable for those unable to access direct corporate unlisted bonds. The latter matter is well past the consideration phase for wrap account providers who should by now be able to access the relevant providers' on-line resources.
