The Barclays Plc 3.250% 2027 is a corporate bond with a 3.250% coupon, maturing on 12 Feb 2027 — roughly 0.7 years from now. At the latest market price it is a short-dated (0–5 years) holding currently trading below par (at a discount).
Based on a clean price of about £98.75 per £100 nominal, this gilt offers a running yield of 3.29% and a yield to maturity of 5.82%. The running yield reflects the income return from coupons alone, while the yield to maturity also accounts for the capital gain if you hold to redemption.
