Corporate Bonds

Hi All,
Can anyone explain to me the advantage(if any) of owning corporate bonds,when I already have a FTSE 100 and a FTSE Developed World ex UK equity index fund?
I also own a Vanguard Index Linked Gilt Fund and commercial property ETF
Many thanks in advance.

    Well none of those funds invest in bonds from the titles (I haven't looked into further details).

    So if you invested in corporate bonds you would be spreading your risk from equity, property and gilt based investments in bonds.
