  18. Bond Ratings • Bonds of the same maturity offer a different rate of return • Why ? • Due to the risk of default • The difference between the return on “safe” bonds (i.e. government) and “risky” bonds is called a default premium • How do you assess risk ? • Moodys and S&P - evidence suggest that low ranked bonds promise higher returns

  19. Bond Ratings • Since the primary function of bonds as an investment vehicle is to make fixed payments, it's essential that the company or government issuing the debt has the ability to make all payments on time and in full. Bond ratings evaluate the debt issuer to determine the risk of default • The leading rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Services, assign ratings when a bond is first issued, and that rating helps determine how high the bond's interest rate will be. If the agencies assign a high rating, that means there's little risk of default, so the issuer can obtain a lower interest rate • While the rating systems of Moody's and S&P differ somewhat, they're more alike than different. Both agencies have investment-grade ratings, which connote a high level of creditworthiness, and speculative ratings, which mean higher risk levels and merit higher interest rates • Here are Moody's ratings, from highest to lowest. Investment grade: Aaa, Aa1, Aa2, Aa3, A1, A2, A3, Baa1, Baa2, Baa3. Speculative grade: Ba1, Ba2, Ba3, B1, B2, B3, Caa1, Caa2, Caa3, Ca, C1 • Here are S&P's ratings. Investment grade: AAA, AA+, AA, AA-, A+, A, A-, BBB+, BBB, BBB-. Speculative grade: BB+, BB, BB-, B+, B, B-, CCC+, CCC, CCC-, CC, D
