About GLTL.L
SPDR Bloomberg 15+ Year Gilt UCITS ETF (Dist) is an exchange-traded fund that tracks the Bloomberg Sterling 15+ Year Aggregate Gilts Bond Index, focusing on long-dated UK Government bonds known as gilts with maturities exceeding 15 years. Managed by State Street Global Advisors and domiciled in Ireland, it employs a full replication strategy by holding investment-grade gilts, primarily in the Treasury sector, with around 30-45 holdings such as the 4.75% Treasury Gilt 2043 and 4.375% Treasury Gilt 2054 as top constituents. Launched on 17 May 2012, the ETF features a low total expense ratio of 0.15%, semi-annual income distributions with a yield around 4.18%, and an effective duration of approximately 15.77 years, reflecting high interest rate sensitivity. With assets under management near £300 million, it provides investors exposure to the long end of the UK sovereign debt market, characterized by average maturities over 25 years and market-cap weighting for broad representation of gilt performance.
