would throw Royal London Sterling Extra Yield or GAM Star Credit into the debate on funds.With regards the merits of WiseAlpha you could probably say the same with the likes of PM or PP in the property rental p2p field verses a property IT/REIT but guess both products can be marketed in an easier to understand way by just pretty much quoting an interest rate rather then yield/growth/gearing etc as per a normal investment fund I had a quick look at those via my H-L account and GAM Star Credit looks fairly pricey to me at 1.18% vs the distribution, I quite like the look of the Royal London one though. I have been happy with the RL fund in my company pension and they do have a few good bond funds.I mentioned those Two as they seem nearer to WA in the bonds they use and have seen them called higher risk & nearer to equity by experts (which maybe why the RL fund had a downturn about 10 years back for a while during the last market crash).While the fee's are high they would compare with WA and at about 50% up over 5 years it softens the blow. Trustnet did an article about 2 weeks back called -"The best 10 performing bond funds since the taper tantrum" which could be of interest and with many experts worried about bonds in general the help of a good manager would hopefully be a benefit
