gilt
Definition
Long-term fixed income debt security (bond) issued by the UK government and traded on the London stock exchange (or LSE, now called the International stock exchange of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland or ISE). Its name comes from the past practice of gilding the edges of a security's pages. See also treasuries.
