Asset Purchase Facility - Gilt Purchase Operations

£847,006 million
Data as at close 29 June 2022
We have data available on the nominal value of each of the gilts purchased. These are reported on a trade date basis, and updated following any gilt purchase operation:
The maturity profile of the stock of corporate bonds held in the CBPS, in terms of aggregate nominal holdings, is illustrated in the chart below.
APF corporate bond portfolio maturity profile
During purchases, we aimed for a balanced portfolio, allocating each bond eligible for purchase to a sector, using a common sector classification. Purchases were undertaken so that our holdings were broadly representative of each sector’s share within the list of eligible bonds.
Because the sales process will ultimately entail selling all of the Bank’s holdings of corporate bonds, the Bank will not target specific sector shares at points in time. Information on sector shares will therefore no longer be published during sales.
