Interestingly, it looks like fixed interest investments have been the most rewarding part of my portfolio, this year, showing a total return YTD of +9.1% vs an aggregate total return for all my investments of -5.3%.
I only hold two fixed interest investments: the Invesco Bond Income Plus trust (BIPS) and Enquest 9% 2027 retail bonds (ENQ2).
