Missus wanted them, but ill health put paid to it. I was never that bothered. Whatever's left will go to environment and cancer charities. I have nieces and nephews I could potentially give anything left over after our deaths, but I don't really believe in wealth accumulation through inheritance (a big source of unfairness in the world imo).

I suspect it is because of a number of projects made a repayment yesterday and so freed up some cash for abundance users to spend. Certainly true in my case - and also I find new funding new projects rather than refinancing more appealing. Probably also been some pent-up demand for projects as well. The secondary market has been rather buoyant in recent months when there were no projects open.
And the previous wind 1 year bond also sold very quickly. Both have had high headline grabbing rates and short terms.

I believe the interest payment is fixed regardless of when you invested in the offer. IIRC, they were hoping to close this one in May, but obviously it's taking a while to fill (likely because of a lot of people likely had their fill with the first offer). Sometimes they incentivise early investment with bonuses.
You do take your chances though as some are filled in about a week - even without a bonus. I suspect at least one of the upcoming ones will fill fast too.
Personally, I am waiting for Abundance to put up some more projects as one is run by the same chaps as the E****** PV ones so I want to spread the risk a bit and I'd also rather help new build if possible.
