What Are Gilt Funds?
Start Your SIP in Mutual Funds.
Gilt Funds
Gilt funds invest in only treasury Bills and government securities, which do not have a credit risk (i.e. the risk that the issuer of the security defaults). These 
securities pay a lower coupon or interest to reflect the low risk of default associated with them.
Long-term gilt funds invest in government securities of medium and long-term maturities. There is no risk of default and liquidity is considerably higher in the case of government securities. However, prices of long-term government securities are very sensitive to interest rate changes.
