An investment company has claimed that the corporate bond revolution will be a success.
The London Stock Exchange recently introduced a new electronic order book for retail bonds, in response to strong demand from private investors for access to more fixed income products.
Trading can start from as low as £1,000 on corporate bonds issued by companies such as Tesco, GE Capital and National Grid, and Colin Jackson, director of Baronworth Investment Services, is enthused by the idea.
He said: "The concept is excellent. The idea is a very good one because, in theory, it puts corporate bond investment within reach of the small investor, which is great.
Research published by the Fair Investment Company recently found that a majority of investors did not have any faith in cash savings and would not invest in it in the current climate.
Only 24 per cent said that they would now invest in cash, while 49 per cent indicated they would go for a structured product instead.
