The Investing Show: Individual investors have rushed to snap up gilts this year, even as markets have shunned UK government bonds.
Investment platforms report a surge in interest in buying gilts direct, rather than via investment funds or ETFs.
And long-dated 30-year gilts paying big yields and short-dated bonds paying low rate coupons are both proving popular.
Why? The former offers the highest income for decades, while the latter can be bought well below face value and deliver a quick capital gains-tax free profit.
On this episode of the Investing Show, Tom Becket, co-chief investment officer at Canaccord Wealth, discusses with Simon Lambert why investors are turning Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ bond market misfortune to their advantage.
He explains how the government bond market works, why the UK has been suffering, how investors can buy gilts, why duration, maturity and price matter – and what they should consider on inflation before they invest.
Tom discusses the prospects for both long, medium and short-term government bonds and explains why investors have been rushing to bonds paying as little as 0.125 per cent thanks to near-guaranteed tax-free profits.
