One of the only ways to invest in bonds with small levels of capital, especially within an ISA, I love it. But I would like to see a wider range of investment-grade bonds. There are a few little ni... See more

No ISA wrapper

Lack of an ISA wrapper within WA stops me from really utilising this interesting investment option. They keep saying they are working on it but the IFISA went and was never replaced.
Excuse to follow below, watch this space.

Excellent user interface and plenty of choice to invest in high yield bonds of British companies. Really is a gap in the market and WiseAlpha is really democratising access to retail investors. Fair charges and a clear overview of how everything works. Great customer support when I had an issue and overall wonderful user experience!

I dont want to hold Yell shares in my WISEALPHA account.

Always been a great fan but somewhat frustrated by the fact that you continue to hold equity (New Look and Yell) that has replaced bonds held in distressed companies and provide no facility for your clients to sell those equities. I do not wish to hold equities - what happens when my bonds mature and i wish to close my account ?

Wisealpha gives retail investors exposure to the bond market, but although bonds are generally more secure than equities, bonds also have risks. Example Debenhams and now Thames Water. Pay attention to your investments.

Dear Mr X,

We listen to our customers and ensure that we can provide them with all the relevant information they need. Please contact Customer Service to let us know who you are and be rest assured that your grievance will be addressed in the best way possible.

We would like to remind you however that we are an execution-only non-advised platform and we strongly recommend that our investors consider independent advice before making any investments on our platform. Investors in Fractional Bonds should be prepared to hold the investments until maturity as we do not guarantee liquidity.

While liquidity is not guaranteed on our Fractional Bond product, generally customers are able to receive liquidity on our secondary market unless there is a specific restructuring situation on a particular bond. You can find further information in our FAQs (https://support.wisealpha.com/en/) and our Bond Academy (https://learn.wisealpha.com/)

Kind regards,

WiseAlpha team

Access to the bond market

A useful and innovative investment platform that allows fractional ownership of hard-to-access bonds . Covers GBP and Euro-denominated securities. Restricted to investors with "expert status".
