Multi-decade high gilt yields, boosted by the ongoing US-Iran conflict and fears over inflation, have pushed some annuity rates to multi-year highs.

Quilter has introduced index-linked gilts as a dedicated asset class within its Cirilium portfolios following an optimisation of its strategic asset allocation.

AJ Bell Investcentre, the adviser investment platform arm of AJ Bell, has added to its Gilt MPS range with the launch of the new Gilt MPS 4.

The Treasury has launched a new gilt offering the equivalent of 5.375% interest until January 2056 but investors need to act quickly, says AJ Bell, as orders need to be made through the platform by 2.30pm today.

The number of adviser gilt purchases through AJ Bell Investventre’s gilt dealing service increased by 436% in 2024.
