    And I'm a relatively inexperienced investor (about seven years in) who likes corporate bonds, maybe because I have not experienced a blowout! But as I said in this thread, they are an area where active management by a professional manager - not by individuals making the kind of Barclays mistake mentioned above - seems worthwhile since the index funds are in the lower reaches of the league tables. 

    I agree that there is a lot of education required but I do feel that in the UK we desperately need to move away from the thinking that only those who have the assets to justify investment management should be allowed near anything that isn't a Cash ISA or premium bond. 

    but @DavidT67 is correct - corporate bonds have been accessible for years now (see WiseAlpha who developed the technology years ago) and there are already roboadvisor type products like robowise which may be a similar approach to what you're suggesting @friolento
