Another interesting video Tim. There is a third option: bond ETFs. How would you characterize them? I guess they have many of the same features as a bond fund but they do seem to reduce the effect of some of your cons but obviously do not have the management expertise from the pro side.

Why are some bond prices quoted around a pound (e.g. £1.043) and some around £100 (e.g. (£104.326)? Are there any other ‘illustrative’ values?
How do you know what the face value would be? For example, for a price of £177.32 how do I know if the face value is £100 or £200 or some other value? I’ve looked everywhere for this answer.
