    I've identified Vanguard UK Inv Grade Bond Index Fund GBP Acc as a possible bond tracker, looking to to make my first payment in today.

    I haven't had much luck identifying alternatives based on my criteria: fund preferred (not ETFs); index tracking; low cost; investment grade corporate bonds where possible; would rather avoid gilts/government debt at this point.

    *Edit: Discovered an easier way to sort and compare on Charles Stanley Direct, compared Blackrock and L&G funds to this one, their performance was pretty far off the Vanguard fund, even with lower fees.
