Bunds vs UK Gilts — the mechanics
Long gilts can look ‘cheap’ or ‘dear’ versus bunds after you hedge sterling to euro — the cross-currency basis is part of the trade. Unhedged, you are betting on GBP/EUR.
Euro versus sterling, Finanzagentur versus DMO, ECB versus BoE. Both are high-grade local-currency sovereigns. Neither hedges the other’s inflation or FX.
LDI in the UK is a gilt-curve story. German insurers live on the bund and swap curves. Copying a UK 2061 into a bund 2056 is not the same trade.
If you spend in pounds, a bund is an FX position. If you spend in euros, a gilt is an FX position.
