Wikipedia

  1. high-yield bond

    In finance, a high-yield bond (non-investment-grade bond, speculative-grade bond, or junk bond) is a bond that is rated below investment grade by credit rating agencies. These bonds have a higher risk of default or other adverse credit events, but offer higher yields than investment-grade bonds in order to compensate for the increased risk.

  1. high-yield bond

    A high-yield bond, also known as a junk bond, is a type of bond that offers a higher yield (or interest rate) due to its higher default risk compared to other bonds like government or corporate bonds. These types of bonds typically have a low credit rating, and are issued by entities that have a relatively high likelihood of not meeting their debt obligations. Their high return potential attracts investors, but also comes with high risk.
