Bond or Fixed Savings Account?
Comments

Jenny, be aware you and dunstonh are talking about two different things - he's talking about bonds in the true financial sense of the term, while you are talking about Fixed Term Deposits, which banks confusingly call "bonds". In its true sense, a "bond holder" has a financial interest in a company - you're just looking to save with a bank. The types of account you're looking at don't carry these risks. His examples above are risks to Guaranteed Equity Bonds (a different banking product).hungry_jenny wrote: »Hi Dunstonh
