Trading gilts and corporate bonds

Is it possible that you will be offering the opportunity to trade gilts and corporate bonds on Trading 212?

Welcome. I’d say this is unlikely for the foreseeable.

I can’t remember if IBKR, T212’s intermediary offers them – if not, I can’t see it happening.

You can buy fixed-income ETFs and trusts but I understand the allure of holding them directly.

I don’t trade gilts or bonds so I’m not sure but I thought IBKR did offer them but I use IBKR just for options so haven’t really looked at their full range of products

Thanks for your help. I’ve now found that IBKR does trade bonds, so I’ll look into it further.

Freetrade supports these along with most major investing platforms - any plans? Either Gilts or Fed Tbills?

Would be cool to see this on the platform since IBKR do it now.

Hi everyone :wave:

No plans for now, but we’ll let you know if that changes.

Every half decent European bank does that since online trading first emerged like 20+ years ago.

Given the CGT raise in budget 2024, there would be higher demand for GILTS which is free of CGT. Would T212 reconsider offering GILT trading?

Nothing has changed since our last reply. We’ll update the thread if there’s any news about offering Gilts and Bonds.
