iShares GiltTrak Index (IE) S Cap GBP

The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the FTSE Government All Stocks Gilt Index, the Fund's benchmark index. A gilt is a fixed income (FI) security such as a bond issued by the British Government.
