UK government issues two types of debt instruments: nominal gilts and inflation-linked (IL) gilts. Constructing a synthetic bond comprising the IL bonds and also inflation-swaps and gilt strips I was able to build a portfolio that pays to investor exactly the same cash-flow as nominal gilts, with the same maturity. I found that the weighted-average mispricing throughout the period of 2006-11 is only £0,155 per £100 notional. Though, if I restrain my analysis to the 2008-09 crisis period, this amount raises to £4,5 per £100 invested. The weighted-average mispricing can reach values of £21 per £100 notional or, if measured in yield terms, 235 basis points. I have also found evidence that available liquidity on the market and increases on index-linked gilts supply do play a significant role on monthly changes of mispricing in the UK market. I concluded that, although the global mispricing is not significant on UK gilt market, every pair of bonds in the sample presented huge and significant arbitrage opportunities in downturn periods.NSBE - UNLSilva, André CastroRUNVilas-Boas, João Pinto Teixeira2013-06-07T14:23:46Z2013-012013-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/9852enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T03:43:12Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/9852Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:19:04.864813Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
