Gilt-edged - the alternative to equities?
Article Abstract:
Gilt-edged bonds performed well in the two months following the Oct 1987 stock market crash in London. Gilt-edged bonds are high quality securities issued by companies that consistently pay dividends and securities. Gilts are attractive to investors during periods of market uncertainty because capital is largely risk-free. It is unclear whether gilt-edged bonds will continue to perform well, but if inflation and inflationary pressures continue to rise in England, gilt-edged bonds will continue to offer good returns.
