This is not a great investment. It's pays it's base rate (0.0%) plus inflation (7.12%). The rate is based on inflation and is reset every 6 months, and I'm assuming the base rate of (0.0%) doesn't change. It may make sense for some people who are risk-averse and already have savings in a bank account that is getting demolished by low rates and high inflation.

Right, the base rate never changes for the life of the bond, and it generally outperforms cash while also being zero-risk.
