4WiseAlpha Alternatives
For those looking to invest in corporate bonds, there are a number of alternatives to WiseAlpha.
One alternative is the London Stock Exchange’s Order Book for Retail Bonds (ORB). This is a platform for investing in UK fixed income securities. More than 60 gilts and over 100 corporate bonds (tradable in denominations of £1,000 or similar) are available for trading on the electronic order book.
Another alternative is Hargreaves Lansdown. It currently offers access to several hundred corporate bonds issued by companies such as HSBC Holdings, Marks & Spencer Group, and National Grid. Many are only available over the phone, however. Saxo Markets is another broker that offers exposure to bonds. It currently offers access to more than 5,000 government and corporate bonds in Europe, US, Asia, Middle East and Latin America digitally.
