Brings a great opportunity to allow individual investors to access the corporate bond market previously inaccessible. Great functionality too.

An easy to use investment platform, offering the small investor the chance to invest in high rate bonds normally out of reach . A regular and changing range of bonds gives plenty of opportunities.

Given the full valuation of the stock market, it is good to have a sound alternative investment. Interest payments are from larger/safer companies than you can access via p2p platforms. These Bond investments would not otherwise be available to the retail market in the low amounts that I seek to invest. I am able to get good diversity across my bond investments, which means they mature at different times and provide and allow me to spread my credit risk.

Life is pretty unfair really. All the (seemingly) best stuff is reserved for people with the most money. And finance is no different. If you’re taking out a massive mortgage for an eight-bed, detached mansion on a private estate you can borrow at interest rates that are lower than for an ex-local studio flat. When
