Corporate Bonds are both loans but investors
can buy and sell them in the same way as they do shares. Bonds
issued by the UK Government are usually called gilts, while corporate
bonds are issued by companies but the key features of both are
similar.
Bonds are suitable for investors who are prepared to take a moderate
amount of risk or those seeking a fixed and secure income.
Remember past performance is not a guide to future returns. The
value of investments and the income from them can go down as well
as up. The level of tax benefits and liabilities will depend on
individual circumstances and may change in the future. Exchange
rate fluctuations may cause the value of underlying overseas investments
to go down as well as up. Some Funds investing in specialist sectors
or areas carry greater risks due to the potential volatility of
market sectors into which the funds invest.
You should not invest without consulting
