Gilt Funds: Hargreaves Lansdown Launches Four New Multi-Asset Index Funds
Investors Gain Access to Primary Gilt Market
Platform Sees Surge in Conventional Gilt Sales
London, UK, May 13, 2024 - Hargreaves Lansdown, the United Kingdom's largest investment platform, has announced the launch of four new multi-asset index funds that invest in gilts, a type of government bond.
The move comes as investors seek exposure to gilts amid heightened market volatility. When you purchase a bond, you are essentially lending money to a company or government. The bond's yield, or the income paid to investors, is determined by factors such as the issuer's creditworthiness and the current interest rate environment.
Hargreaves Lansdown reported that its conventional gilt sales have witnessed a surge in recent times. The platform's vast distribution network and extensive customer base have contributed to this growth.
The four new multi-asset index funds launched by Hargreaves Lansdown are designed to provide investors with diversified exposure to gilts across various maturities and risk profiles. The funds' income is paid quarterly.
It is important to note that the value of investments can fluctuate, and investors may get back less than they invest. Investors are advised to consider their financial objectives and risk tolerance carefully before making investment decisions.
