IPO

Treasury 4.375% 2040 Gilt Launch

Applications open

Important Information - The value of investments will fall as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invest. Once held in a pension, funds are not usually accessible until age 55 (57 from 2028). Tax rules can change and any benefits depend on individual circumstances. If you are unsure of the suitability of an investment for your circumstances you should seek advice. This advertisement is issued by, and is the sole responsibility of, Hargreaves Lansdown Asset Management Limited.

Applications close 2 September 2024 4pm

The Treasury 4.375% 2040 is a new gilt launching via syndication on the London Stock Exchange.

You can find out more about the Treasury 4.375% 2040 gilt launch in the Information Memorandum and the associated press notice. You must read this before you invest as it will help you understand the gilt’s objectives and the risks.

Any application to participate in the Offer can and will only be made on the basis of the Information Memorandum, together with any supplements thereto.

Unlike new bond issues, you will not know the price (typically £100 per bond or £1 per unit) when making an application. The price will be negotiated between syndicate members and prospective investors on Tuesday 3 September. You will receive the new issue price which may be above £100 per gilt or £1 per unit.

Launch details

Investing in the Treasury 4.375% 2040 gilt launch isn’t right for everyone. You should only invest if the gilt's objectives align with your own, and there’s a specific need for this type of investment within your portfolio.

It’s also important not to put all your eggs in one basket. Spreading your money, diversifying, gives you access to more opportunities and can reduce risk by investing in more individual areas or markets. Find out more about diversification.

The Prospectus will not be published until after syndication. The Prospectus includes full details on the risks of investing in the Treasury 4.375% 2040 gilt launch. If you’re not sure if the investment is right for you or your circumstances, please speak to a financial adviser.
