Did I understand those nominal amounts correctly TJH?
Given 5-year yields were below 1% by 2013 I agree returns after that date would be paltry. That has never been in dispute.

Yes, those nominal amounts are correct.

Okay then I'm still struggling to marry up your calculated 2013 IRR of 0.2054% (precise but too low) with my calculated 2.47% -- which to me looks in the right ball-park for that ladder started in 2008. Where have I gone wrong? Or do you accept your figure may have been wrong? Or are we at cross purposes?
Over that period 5-year gilt yields fell from 4.5% to less than 1%.
