I wouldnt mention funds like James does. It would be inappropriate for me to say funds like Baille Gifford High yield bond, JPM Global High Yield bond or Aegon high yield bond as a few you could also look at as options to consider in your research.
IMHO high yield (aka junk) bonds do not offer a sufficient premium over best cash interest rates at present to justify the extra risk taken. I'd also be concerned about exactly what was in the portfolio given the massive amount of toxic high yield "structured products" around in the wake of the credit crunch.Trying to keep it simple...
