Did you know icon

Did you know?

The term 'junk bonds' was popularised in the 1980s when Michael Milken at Drexel Burnham Lambert used them to finance leveraged buyouts — a strategy that transformed corporate America and eventually led to Milken's conviction for securities fraud. Today, the high yield bond market is a $1.5 trillion+ asset class used by thousands of companies ranging from healthcare providers to retailers. Despite their higher risk of default, high yield bonds have historically delivered returns closer to equities than to investment-grade bonds over long periods.
