Gilt-edged security

When the term gilt-edged is applied to bonds, it's the equivalent of describing a stock as a blue chip.

Both terms mean that the issuing corporation has a long, strong record for meeting its financial obligations to its investors. That includes making interest and dividend payments on time and redeeming bonds on schedule.
