PortfolioMetrix has introduced the PortfolioMetrix Short-Term Gilt Model, a model portfolio consisting of UK government bonds that mature within the next five years, with a focus on those maturing in the next two years 1. This portfolio is designed for clients with significant cash positions and serves as a shorter-term savings option that offers an alternative to bank cash deposits 1. It is also tax efficient and can be utilized within tax wrappers such as ISAs and pensions 1. The aim is to provide financial advisers with easier access to cash-like returns for their clients while consolidating their investments in one place for financial planning purposes 1. This model portfolio addresses the increasing demand for investment options outside of traditional tax wrappers in the current economic climate 1.
