About GLT5.L
Invesco UK Gilt 1-5 Year UCITS ETF Dist is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg UK Gilt 1-5 Year Index, providing exposure to UK government bonds, known as gilts, with maturities between 1 and 5 years. These investment-grade, fixed-rate bonds are issued by the UK government, offering a low-risk option backed by sovereign credit. The ETF employs physical replication through sampling, holding a selection of the index's most relevant constituents, primarily concentrated in UK Treasury securities rated AA, with top holdings like the 4.375% Treasury Gilt maturing in 2028 comprising around 9% of the portfolio. Featuring a low total expense ratio of 0.06% per annum and quarterly distributions, it delivers a current dividend yield of approximately 4.12%, alongside an effective duration of 2.45 years, which moderates sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. Launched in March 2019 and domiciled in Ireland with GBP as its base currency, the fund plays a key role in fixed-income markets by enabling investors to access short-term UK sovereign debt for portfolio diversification, income generation, and capital preservation strategies within unhedged GBP exposure.
