Momentum says UK 20-year real gilt yield holds near two-decade high around 2.4%
  • Momentum Global Investment Management flagged a sustained jump in the UK 20-Year Real Gilt Yield to roughly +2.4% from about -2.5%.
  • Long-dated real yields stayed near post-2022 highs despite shifting Bank of England rate expectations, pointing to reduced odds of 2010s-style ultra-low rates.
  • Persistent elevation partly reflects higher term premia tied to gilt supply-demand dynamics, alongside expectations for future real rates.
  • Higher real yields improve prospective bond returns, tighten equity valuation support via higher discount rates, with growth stocks most exposed.
  • Pension schemes could see lower present values for long-dated liabilities, though outcomes depend on asset-liability structure.
