Corporate Bond Funds

With interest rates as low as they are income seeking investors may want to consider the merits of corporate bond funds. Corporate bonds offer the potential for higher income than from cash on deposit although you need to be comfortable with the associated investment risk.

Investing in a corporate bond fund offers investors:

  • Regular Income – Many funds offer either monthly or quarterly income options. If you invest in an ISA, income can be distributed to you tax free or if you prefer some funds allow you to accumultate the income within the fund by buying more units to provide capital growth.
  • Diversification – a typical corporate bond fund will invest in 40 institutions or more reducing the risk to investors in the event of a default of a bond issuer.
  • Potential for capital growth – providing a lower risk than equity investment
