Are corporate bonds a good choice now?
A quick video demonstrating why Corporate Bonds are a wise investment now, it argues that:
- Corporate Bonds currently have higher yields than Government bonds
- Great diversification with:
- Approx. 3% for corporate yields
- 1% for government yields in Germany
- Lower risk:
- Euro corporates: average: A2
- Government bonds: several have now been downgraded to HY
- Outlook:
- Government interest rates will stay low
- European central bank may even cut rates again
- Many companies are in good health & have reduced their debt in recent years
- Therefore their yields may fall from current levels, leading to additional returns for investors
