Results for tag: "High Yield Bond"

The High Yield Bond market is a segment of the Capital Markets that focuses on debt securities with a lower credit rating than investment grade bonds. These bonds are also known as “junk bonds” due to their higher risk of default. High Yield Bonds are typically issued by companies that are in need of capital and are unable to access traditional financing. The bonds offer higher yields than investment grade bonds, making them attractive to investors who are willing to take on the additional risk. High Yield Bonds are typically traded over-the-counter, meaning they are not listed on a stock exchange. This makes them more difficult to trade and more expensive to transact. As a result, they are often held by institutional investors such as hedge funds and mutual funds. Some of the companies in the High Yield Bond market include AT&T, Ford Motor Company, and Verizon Communications. Show Less Read more
