This book was written at a time when the market for government
stocks in London, the gilt-edged market of the title, had undergone
a period of rapid innovation in the forms of its instruments -
index-linked stocks, variable rate stocks, and other new types -
and of methods of issue. This had been the response of a government
that had needed to fund a massive public sector borrowing
requirement despite its attempts to slash public expenditure. In
the same period the opening of the London International Financial
Futures Exchange (LIFFE), with its 20-year gilt contract, had
introduced a new method for hedging risk for investment managers.
This book charts and analyses these developments.
