🏆 Corporate Bond Credit Ratings

Credit ratings from agencies like Moody's, S&P, and Fitch help assess bond default risk. AAA/Aaa represents the highest quality with minimal risk, while ratings below BBB-/Baa3 are considered 'junk bonds' with higher yields but greater default risk. Investment-grade bonds (BBB- and above) typically offer lower yields but greater security. Always consider credit ratings alongside yield when selecting bonds.
