Much prefer single gilts. I locked in t26 and tn25 close to 5% and pretty happy with them. I maxed my isa in 2 tax years and this was next best thing. Rather low growth with no loss.
Thanks Ian. Good video as always. Informative. Objective. Your videos are one of my go to sources for solid and balanced information. Keep up the great work please !
I’m happy with my holdings of TR28 (6% UK treasury stock) and TR34 (4.5% UK treasury stock). I also hold an ETF with US high yield corporate (“junk”) bonds which has underperformed over the last year. Bonds are certainly looking more appealing now that 1) I’ve retired and 2) equities are up and down like a yo-yo!
I have pretty much kept 30% of my allocation in more a adventurous bond fund, and yet it has still provided the most stable anchor for my portfolio, consistently providing about 6.5% over the past 10 years or so, through good times and bad in the markets. It has actually done what Gilt and Treasury funds have failed to do.

Good video Ian. Isn't looking at 5 year volatility a little unrepresentative in this case, given 2022 was hopefully an exception?
@@howardsmith8723 longer term volatility data is difficult to get hold of
