| | corporate bond - definition of corporate bond in Encyclopedia |
 | | Bonds are securities but differ from shares of stock in that stock is an ownership interest (termed "equity"), but bonds are merely "debt": Therefore a shareholder is an owner, but a bond-holder is merely a creditor. | | | Bonds are issued by governments or other public authorities, credit institutions, and companies, and are sold through banks and stock brokers. | | | Subordinated bonds are those that have a lower priority than other debts of the issuing corporation, so if there is not enough money to pay all the company's debts, the "senior" (higher-priority) bonds are paid first, and the subordinate bonds are paid out of what money, if any, is left. |

| | Bond ratings are based on various factors, including the issuer's existing debt level; the issuer's previous record of payment; the safety of the assets or revenues committed to paying off principal and interest; the mortgage provisions in the bond indenture, the existence of a sinking fund, and others. | | | Bonds may also be classified as domestic or foreign bonds, the latter including Eurobonds and bonds payable as to principal and/or interest in specified choice of foreign currency as well as currency of the country of issuance. | | | Guaranteed bonds are bonds on which the payment of interest and/or principal is guaranteed by another party. |

| | corporate bond Definition |
| | Corporate bonds often pay higher rates than government or municipal bonds, because they tend to be riskier. | | | Bonds are considered to be less risky than stocks, since the company has to pay off all its debts (including bonds) before it handles its obligations to stockholders. | | | Corporate bonds have a wide range of ratings and yields because the financial health of the issuers can vary widely. |

| | The Role of a Corporate Bond Market in an Economy -- and in Avoiding Crises |
| | When a full-fledged corporate bond market is present, market forces have a much greater opportunity to assert themselves, thereby reducing systemic risk and the probability of a crisis. | | | This is because such an environment is associated with greater accounting transparency, a large community of financial analysts, respected rating agencies, a wide range of corporate debt securities and derivatives demanding sophisticated credit analysis, and efficient procedures for corporate reorganization and liquidation. | | | This essay examines the principal differences between an economy with a well-developed corporate bond market free from government interference and an economy in which bank financing plays a central role (as in East Asia). |

| | SSRN-Which Factors Affect Corporate Bond Pricing? Evidence from Eurobonds Primary Market Spreads by Andrea Sironi , ... |
| | First, the ratings of corporate bonds are the most important determinant of spreads between the yield to maturity of bonds and that of equivalent Treasury securities. | | | The question of which factors are relevant in determining corporate bonds pricing is empirically investigated by analyzing the issuance spreads of eurobonds completed by Canadian, European, Japanese and U.S. companies during the 1991-2001 eleven year period. | | | Third, while a bond's expected tax treatment represents a relevant factor explaining spreads cross-sectional variability, the primary market efficiency and the expected secondary market liquidity appear as poor explanatory variables. |

| | WHY WE LOVE HIGH YIELD CORPORATE BOND FUNDS |
| | In effect, investment-grade bonds are judged to have a low risk of default (inability to pay each installment of interest when due), whereas HYCB’s are judged to be more risky as to the potential for future default &; hence the term “junk bonds.” | | | Second, after buying each high yield corporate bond, a skillful manager keeps close track of the issuing company, dumping the bond quickly from the fund if any sign of deterioration occurs. | | | The difference in yield (interest rate) paid on HYCB’s compared to Treasury bonds with the same due date is called the HYCB “yield spread”. |
