Does Covid- related government borrowing represent an investment opportunity?

[PuzzledObserver]

If you have money to spare which you can leave untouched for a good few years, would buying new gilts make sense? I assume the government will be issuing loads to help fund all the Covid costs.

If the extent of your research is asking Mumsnet, the answer is no

Happily, that isn’t the extent of my research.

Yes and with a very low coupon. You’ll get your money back, collect the coupon, suffer the inflation. Safe, low risk, low return.
