Why does anyone think this is a good deal?
The fixed rate is zero and remains that way for the life of the bond.
Therefore, the rate of the bond is twice the semi-annual inflation rate, ie it is the rate of inflation. And that is calculated twice a year.
In other words, your money is just staying pace with the rate of inflation!
You’re not making money – you’re just breaking even!
