Allocations announced 29 November 2024
UK Treasury Bills are issued by the UK Government. They differ from conventional UK gilts in that they have a 0% coupon rate and maturities are very short dated: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months.
Treasury bills are designed to be held until maturity. This means that once you’ve invested your money, it’s locked in for the duration of the term.

Pricing and allocations
Unlike Corporate Bond or Gilt new issues, Treasury Bills are not launched at £100 per Bill (or £1 per unit). The price is determined during a competitive auction process managed by the Debt Management Office (DMO) on behalf of HM Treasury. The price and allocation you receive will be confirmed by Secure Message on Friday 29 November.
When will I receive my units?
Your new units will be credited to your account on Monday 2 December. This may be delayed in the event the market counterparty does not delivery your units to us by this time.
Interest and maturity
Unlike gilts, Treasury Bills do not pay a coupon. Instead, the investment return comes solely from the difference between the issue price (typically less than £100), and the redemption price the Government pays back (£100).
The 3 Month UK Treasury Bill will be redeemed on 3 March 2025.

The following charges are based on an investment of £5,000 within a Stocks and Shares ISA over 3 months assuming 0% growth rate. Holders should also get income from the Treasury Bill, on which there's no charge from HL and so isn't included in these figures. The income you’ll receive isn't guaranteed and you could get back less than you invest.
