Date 05/07/2022

With the volatile times faced by investors in the stock markets, one option has been catching their attention. High yield corporate bonds have also entered a consolidation period and might provide investors with an opportunity for recovery and portfolio diversification. These are tradeable debt securities issued by companies with sub-investment grade credit ratings, which, on one hand, offer higher risk, but on the other hand provide the possibility of higher income than investment-grade bonds.
