Treasury Market Overview

UK gilts are British government bonds issued by HM Treasury, listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE). They’re also known as ‘gilt-edged securities’ because of their reliability as an investment – the UK government has never defaulted on its coupon and principal payments, so UK gilts make for a secure investment.

UK gilts are considered one of the safest government bonds in the world because the British government has never defaulted on bond repayments.

Understanding the UK LONG GILT

All government bonds are debt-based investments, which means those who invest in them are essentially lending money to the government. In return, the government agrees to repay this loan with interest and return all of the invested capital at a specific date in the future, known as the maturity date. The interest is usually paid biannually and is known as the coupon.

UK gilts tend to mature five, ten or 30 years in the future. However, the British government has issued 50- and 55-year gilts in recent years.
