Over the last few years, due to world conditions and fluctuating interest rates, investing in
Government Securities has often proved less than rewarding.
One way of dealing with this problem is to have a Gilt Edged portfolio managed in much the
same way as a portfolio of equity securities.
BANK OF IRELAND GILT EDGED UNIT TRUST aims to provide this service for amounts
measured in tens of thousands of pounds down to sums as low as around £200. Trustees
can thus introduce management into their Trusts whatever the size.
Launched in November, 1973 at 100p per unit, Bank of Ireland Gilt Edged Unit Trust, the
first ever of its kind in Ireland, invests solely in Irish Government Securities. The aim of the
Trust is, as far as possible, to improve capital values and protect income in times of falling
interest rates and to protect capital and maximise income when rates are rising.
The table below shows what management of Government Stocks can achieve. It compares
the performance of the Trust with an Irish Gilt Edged Index for every £100 invested.
