    Since starting to learn more about investments I find myself asking more and more often: "Who would bother with government bonds?"

    Apart from declared sophisticated investors who can afford to invest billions and will have good knowledge of when to flip them for higher yield than others, who would bother, really?

    As a retail investor I don't think I've seen a government bond I would touch.

    Aren't the UK's National Savings just the retail face of Government bonds?

    In the days when it was prudent to save - they were promoted as safe, a reasonable return and helping the country. (and in the case of Premium Bonds, a lottery with better odds)
