Walker Crips has launched a gilt portfolio service (GPS), aiming to capitalise on opportunities presented by significant interest rate rises.
The service will focus exclusively on short-dated gilts. Any profit for retail investors upon redemption is exempt from both capital gains and income tax.
Bond yields have soared in recent months, with two-year gilts yielding 4.6% as of this morning (13 November).
Wesley Coultas, Walker Crips head of investment management, said: “The introduction of the Walker Crips GPS offers investors an opportunity to leverage the evolving economic landscape and benefit from the attractive risk-adjusted returns currently offered by gilts.
“This opportunity has the potential to enhance investor performance in the coming years by introducing a low-risk investment avenue with attractive returns into portfolios.
“The GPS launch underscores our commitment of providing tailored, attractive investment opportunities to help our clients navigate the complexities surrounding investment markets.”
