High Yield

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.
High yield
In the context of hedge funds, a style of management that focuses on low rated fixed income securities.

High-Yield Bond
A bond with a low rating. Bonds rated less than Baa3 by Moody's or BBB- by S&P or Fitch are considered high-yield bonds. They have higher yields because they have a higher risk of default on the part of the issuer. High-yield bonds are considered sufficiently high-risk that the law does not allow banks to invest in them. They are also called low-grade bonds, and, informally, junk bonds.
