The bond that pays me the most is TFIF (over 10%). They invest in Asset Backed Securities across many countries. I’m 50% in bonds now approaching retirement.

Good luck matey. If the world tanks, you’ll make capital growth alongside the dividends that are inflation busting.

What platform do you use ? I’m with AJBell. Some platforms don’t deal in some of those bonds I’m afraid.

I have a number of different bonds to spread the risk Gray.

Gray1,

“Meanwhile the economy isn't looking good for growth which isn't good for LLoyds.”

Agreed. Thinking of offloading a number of investments into bonds whilst the economy collapses and rates get cut to recover. Starmer makes me laugh about claiming interest rates have been cut because the government put in place the conditions to cut rates. That being rising unemployment, a stagnant housing market, inflation upto 3.8% and stagnant growth. Thanks Stuck Farmer, where would we be without you 🤔

Skier,

Don’t forget people leaving the country up massively, taxes up (and more to come) and business confidence down.

Lloyds would argue that the move to online banking has reduced the requirement for so many staff and branches which in turn benefits profits.

You couldn’t make it up.

There were two additional distributions last year. The total dividend distribution for this year is hence slightly down on the previous year.

Blair was just as complicit as Bush. The poodle was too afraid to stand up to the US President and his pack of lies over WMDs. He’ll be ever remembered for it.

You only have to look at the number of millionaires leaving the country. Record numbers. The dimwits running the country don’t get it and their stupid acolytes on here are the same. They know who they are. They’ve achieved jack sh*t in their lives and want the rest of us to bai them out.

Gray,

It won’t bring in that amount under current taxation. The market has stalled completely. Reeves and Starmer are too thick to work out why.

Agreed. A low flat rate would be my preference without tiers. Labour are so stupid they cannot see that their policies have stalled the market. TAX, TAX, TAX. That’s all they think 🙄

LTI,

I’m a Reform voter. I warned my Tory MP 2 years ago in a meeting I had with him over a social services issue over custody of my son that they weren’t listening to the public and he would be de-seated. He told me that people would ignore Reform at the election. We now have a Lib Dem MP. The first time since the 1890s the Conservatives lost in my constituency.

Typical Labour Bloomers. Sell anything at whatever price to fund their looney policies.

Indeed Bloomers. Gordon Brown must be proud of himself having sold our gold reserves at such a great price when it’s over $4,000 an ounce now 🙄

Quite probably Hardup. Until Labour fulfills its promise to build 300,000 homes a year which is pie in the sky if you ask me, given how many they have built in their first 15 months, the housing market will stay stalled due to their taxation policies.

Badenoch’s pledge to abolish stamp duty can only be good news for Lloyd’s. The housing market has stalled courtesy of this government’s stamp duty hike and speculation over new property taxation. Increasing taxation changes buyers behaviour and the result has been that people have stopped moving. I guess the incompetent Rachel Reeves hasn’t got the intelligence to work that out for herself yet. Someone needs to show her the Laffer Curve 🙄

It will give DCB the chance to open up pointless 84p, 85p etc “breached” moronic threads.

He’s dumb LTI. Most of us have had to rent when we started out. He has no reply to that.
