Is Junk bonds typically provide a lower yield to maturity than investment grade bonds.?


Is Junk bonds typically provide a lower yield to maturity than investment grade bonds.?

No, just the opposite. When risk is higher, people won't buy the bond unless the yield is higher too. If the issuer defaults (i.e., cannot pay back the loan), the real yield may be zero.
