Subordinated A claim ranked lower in priority than other claims. Common stock claims are always subordinated to debt. Subordinated Describing a class of security that, in the event of liquidation, is prioritized lower than other classes of security. For example, a subordinated security may be an unsecured loan, which has no collateral. Should the issuer be liquidated, all secured bonds and debts must be repaid before the subordinated security is repaid. A subordinated security carries higher risk but also pays higher returns than other classes. See also: Junior Debt. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
