Why we call high-yield bonds the “least risky risk asset”
NORTHERN TRUST
Point of View
High-Yield Bonds: Gaining Traction for Good Reason
High-yield bonds have become an increasingly popular investment choice, and we strongly believe this asset class is positioned to continue delivering the strong performance seen in the first half of 2024.
From solid fundamentals, low default risk, and attractive yields to historically strong performance relative to equities – see why we see a compelling case for including a high-yield allocation in investor portfolios.
