ecobond @ 7.5% for 4 year term

[contractor79]

Need to establish if the risk of default is adequately compensated by the 7.5% return. Are they tradable? Why would they not raise the money through a regulated market or by other means?

Does your Ltd co buy these pref shares direct? Or via a broker? Any tips who to use?

Any other company bonds worth buying (other than this ecobond!) ?

Cheers, Richy

I guess also the EcoBond is not covered by the FSA's FSCS either.

Yep. Large dose of salt needed.

There are still a few pref shares around with decent yields I would look at first if that is what you're after.

Just saw this from Ecotricity. Looks good as Ltd co's can buy according to the PDF.

Anyone else looking into this?

You might want to be taking it with a large pinch of salt given the track record of the guy who owns it.
