are index-linked gilts more attractive than conventional gilts?

Question

with relevant examples

Answer 1

An index-linked gilt (a bond with interest payments linked to inflation) would possibly be more attractive than a conventional gilt, assuming that the yield is high enough and inflation increases. If the yield is too low, or inflation goes down, concievably you'd be worse off. I recommend you talk to a fee-based financial advisor who doesn't take sales commissions to find out what's best for you.
