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.

Starting with log in. Quick with mobile phone unique pin. Sounds lengthy but itÔÇÖs instant and iÔÇÖm Very happy with security.
In account dashboard it is obvious and uncluttered.
Easy to see money invested and very easy to see future returns.
And there are no direct fees. Instead itÔÇÖs just a nominal share of the interest. Which is incredibly good value compared to other Bond providers.
And I like the information available on each bond available which helps me make an informed choice

WiseAlpha’s market is well laid out, with a good range of investment options not available elsewhere below a 50K minimum. I’ve only ever had to access customer service via livechat and found this to be responsive, with the operator always solving the issue for me first time. I have recommended this service to others and have no doubt I’ll continue to use this service.

Gives easy access to an asset class usually only available to funds. This allows you to select your own risk tolerance. I was able to invest small amounts in bonds that required minimum £100k investments.

WiseAlpha is a very simple platform, with moderate fees, which allows investments in corporate bonds which are naturally not available to retail investors. Those investments do bear a risk.
