BBB Corporate bond yields
Posted on 5/6/23 at 2:53 pm

Vanguard is offering BBB corporate bonds, yielding 8% for a year and 11% for 5 yr.
How often do these default?
How many of yall snagging these up? Seems anxiety-inducing to me. But 11% though.

About 1.5% default rate over 5 years.

Going that low it would be company dependent for me.

BBB is one notch from junk bond territory. Whenever you’re getting a really outsized yield, there’s a story behind it. A small taste might be OK. But like with high div. stocks, you just have to be careful when you chase yields.
BTW, were those new issues that you saw or current issues?

I just looked at them because I'm doing my weekly bond trading. I don't know if you noticed but that Webster Financial bond yielding 8.5% has a minimum order 0f 100. The highest yielding BBB's at Vanguard available to little people yield 7.85% with a 10 bond minimum and 7.3% with a 2 bond minimum.

BBB+ Huntington Bancshares maturing 08/06/2024 yielding 9.25% is interesting. People are convinced every bank in the US is going under. If you are a blood in the streets kind of investor these bank bonds and ETFs like SRLN are interesting.

Minimum order is 2 on those H B Bank bonds.
