The UK Treasury Index-Linked Index-Linked 0.125% 2048 is a index-linked gilt with a 0.125% coupon, maturing on 10 Aug 2048 — roughly 22.2 years from now. At the latest market price it is a long-dated (15+ years) holding currently trading below par (at a discount).
Based on a clean price of about £62.96 per £100 nominal, this gilt offers a running yield of 0.20% and a yield to maturity of 5.26%. 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.
As an index-linked gilt, both its principal and coupon payments are uprated in line with inflation (RPI). The headline coupon is low because the inflation uplift is delivered separately — making this type of gilt suited to investors who want to protect real purchasing power rather than maximise nominal income.
