Frequently Asked Questions
Why do corporate bonds usually yield more than government bonds?
Corporate bonds carry default risk that government bonds (in stable economies) do not, so investors demand a higher yield as compensation. This extra yield is the credit spread.
What is a basis point?
A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point (0.01%). A 3.5% spread equals 350 basis points.
