Airbnb bond

I thought this was a mini bond, but it says it is subject to the 85K FSCS scheme.
Any ideas what this is, please?

This looks a little too good to be true. Cinven are legit, but I would check to see that Cinven are actually behind the "bond". This may be a scam. No one is going to offer 6.7% on a 1 year deposit without some significant risk somewhere, or it is a scam.

I have emailed Cinven to ask them if this is legitimate.

I agree it looks suspicious. Also no links back to the Cinven web site or announcement/news that Cinven are issuing the bond. I will report back what Cinven say.

I think that nails it!
