New Caxton Bond up to 6% for 4 years.

I see Caxton has launched a new Corporate Bond with up to 6% for 4 years, not FSCS protected. The site appears to be crashing, so I can't access the info. Has anyone else managed to get the details of the 'invitation'?
Thanks.

    I'd suggest OP to steer clear of individual company bonds, unless you have enough money and planning to invest in 100s companies' bonds.
    Remember, there is no risk premium for the non-systematic risk you take. If that one company goes bust, you'd loss (almost) everything you had in it. Diversification is the key.
  • Very often it's not only the site that crashes with these.
    Unregulated, highly risky, sometimes bordering on fraudulent. Don't.
