Applications closed

Important Information - Capital is not guaranteed. Investing in Treasury Bills may not be suitable for all investors. You should carefully consider your investment objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance before investing. It is recommended that you seek financial advice tailored to your specific circumstances if you are at all unsure.

The information on this website is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice or an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities. The information is believed to be accurate at the time it is posted, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness. We disclaim any liability for any errors or omissions in the information.

Allocations announced 20 December 2024

The minimum annualised yield for this Treasury Bill will be 4.5%.

What are UK Treasury Bills?

UK Treasury Bills are issued by the UK Government. They differ from conventional UK Gilts in that they have a 0% coupon rate and maturities are very short dated: 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months.

The invested return comes solely from the difference between the price the Government sells to investors at (typically less than £100) and the redemption price the Government pays back (£100).

Can I access my money before maturity?

No. Treasury Bills are designed to be held until maturity. This means that once you've invested your money, it's locked in for the duration of the term.

What yield can I expect from this Treasury Bill?

You won't know the exact price or yield of the Treasury Bill until applications have closed and the auction has concluded. The price will be determined following the auction which is run by the Debt Management Office (DMO) on behalf of HM Treasury. The minimum annualised yield for this Treasury Bill will be 4.5%. This is because if the issue price offered implies a lower yield, we will not proceed with your application.
