#GivingTuesday is an opportunity to look beyond ourselves and see how we can help others. In the face of tragedy, we at the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund found a mission larger than ourselves. Our Charity Day held on 9/11, along with your support, allows us to engage in disaster relief and assist hundreds of other charities with important missions. This past week, we highlighted a few of the charities we have been able to assist, including 52nd Street Project Inc, HEART 9/11, Playworks, The Felix Organization, and Tackle Kids Cancer. Please join us in giving back. When the unthinkable happens, we come together. Wishing you and yours a very happy and healthy holiday season. Donate now at https://lnkd.in/dNckTE7.

Bradley Newcombe, Fixed Income Solutions Head of Research, recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Elizabeth Moran from Fixed Income News Australia for a thought-provoking podcast episode on The Future of Hybrids. ASX-listed hybrids have been a consistent source of income for decades, but with APRA's proposal to phase them out, what does the future hold? Where else can investors find similarly high yields? Brad has been following the hybrid market for over 25 years and shares his insights on these pressing questions for investors. You can listen to the Fixated podcast for free on various streaming services.
