Not sure what you mean by that Assailed. Do you mean that bonds are generally safe unless you let a broker trade bonds on your behalf?
After bad experience with a few 'award winning' managed share funds, I am not keen to invest in a bonds broker's mixed bag of bonds and let the broker choose if and when to trade the bonds. Instead I intend to create an account with a bond broker and purchase a few bonds myself, perhaps only 3 or 4 different bonds, which I will choose myself after doing my own due dillegence on the companies that issue the bonds.
