UK utility bonds vs gilts

September 20th, 2010, 8:15 pm

UK utility bonds are often quoted through a spread over a reference gilt.The known parameters are the UK gilt price, UK gilt and UK utility bond cash flows.How is the gilt spread used to get the price of the UK utility bond?thanks

from the gilt price work out the yield. add spread to yield and discount utility bond cash flows.
