1. Upweighting the UK

2. Rebalancing - if you bought 80% of VLS 100 and 20% of a hypothetical VLS 0% equity, the bond weight will fall over the longer term, rebalancing adjusts for this so using simultaneous equations won't work.
3. UK investment grade bonds cannot be compared with the global bond index - the latter is mostly gov bonds, the former is mostly corporate bonds. They are different asset classes.

have UK corporate bonds outperformed global govt bonds during recent years? 

BoE has been a net buyer of Corporate Bonds under the various stimulus programmes. 

More so than other Western countries?
