    Here at InvestEd we've advised caution on various debenture products some time before the collapse of Westpoint, Australian Capital Reserve and others. See here:

    For those who may still be interested in these kind of high-yielding products ASIC has produced a guide for investors. You can find it here.

    Particularly in the current higher interest rate environment I'm not sure why these kind of products would be worth investing in...however, horses for courses.
