Investment: Solid companies, yields of more than four percent: New corporate bonds under scrutiny
Companies are luring investors with attractive interest rates, especially after the recent price losses. Handelsblatt presents five bonds that private investors can also buy.
Yields on long-term government bonds in the US, Germany, and Japan have risen to their highest levels since the financial crisis. This is due to better-than-expected economic performance and expectations of higher interest rates as a result of rising energy prices and inflation following the Iran war. Corporate bonds are under less pressure than government bonds, supported by a robust economy and improved company balance sheets.
Some corporate bonds are available for private investors to buy directly with a minimum investment of 1000 Euros, offering yields of over 4% with medium-term maturities of 4-6.5 years from companies with good credit ratings.
