I'm new to bonds having focused on shares up to now. Looking at retirement in 10-15 years time and trying to work out how to invest in bonds. Seems much more complicated than shares!
Anyway, am I correct in reading this quoted article that:
"all you need to do is ... concentrate most of your bond portfolio in high quality bonds issued by SOE's, city councils and banks with the latter limited perhaps to a maximum of 30 per cent of your bond portfolio. You need to have some short, medium and long bonds. "
So I just invest in bonds from reputable organisations and ladder them. Ignore everything else - don't worry about valuing the bond etc.
