    Hiya

    Barefoot talks about investment bonds.

    Anyone have a lowdown on which provider is best - fees/earnings - Lifeplans Nextgen, Austock Life imputation bons, AMPs growth bonds... or other?

    Try FIIG or use an ETF

    AMP have an online facility, so should make administration easier.

    IIRC Lifeplans Nextgen have the lowest fees. I believe you'd also have more control over where your investments are allocated (they have a few of the Vanguard Wholesale ETFs as options).

    Oh sorry. I thought you meant corporate bonds for investment.

    I am invested in Austock & Lifeplan since last year. my reasoning to go with them was low fees and plenty of investment options. Not sure if there are more in market now.

    If you subscribe, he recently provided a comparison between popular investment bond products -- including from AMP & Lifeplan.

    I have one with AMP.
