For Info There are only 33 UK IL Gilts on the market. Only 3 of them have coupons > 1.25% (2%, 2% & 4.25%)
That’s what I assumed but their terrible performance over the past year led me to believe that they are 95% conventional bonds and only 5% inflation linked. The fact that the projected yield is still only 4%. Shows how elevated asset prices were driven in a near zero interest rate environment. Illustrated by the sharp return to what , by some, is regarded as nearer normality.
