Answer 2

The certificates were printed on gilt or gilded edges – hence, the name gilt-edge securities.

By nature, a gilt edge denotes a high quality item whose value remains fairly constant over time. As an investment vehicle this equates to a high grade security with low yields compared to risky, below investment-grade securities.
