The bond market has been through a rough ride in recent months, with bond prices falling, compounded by drama on the gilts markets, created by the "mini"-Budget.

But fund managers think prices are so low that the current state of affairs looks like a buying opportunity. But which type of bonds should an investor go for and why are they investing in bonds? Additionally, questions arise over high yield bonds, and whether, as we enter uncertain economic times, these are still relatively safe investments.

All these questions will be looked at in this report which is worth an indicative 30 minutes' CPD.
