    Solution

    Gilt-edged securities, commonly referred to as gilts, are government bonds that are considered the least risky type of security. This is because they are issued by the government, which has a very low risk of default. Investors in gilts are therefore provided with a high degree of security and stability, making them an attractive option for those looking to minimize risk in their investment portfolio.
