Top Impacting Factors
Higher yield compared to traditional investment-grade bonds, diversified portfolios with capital appreciation, and lucrative long-term return potential with flexible exit options drive the growth of the market.

Contrarily, digital trade over exchange (ETF) is expected to create lucrative opportunity for the market in the coming years.
Higher Yield Rate Compared to Traditional Investment-Grade Bonds
Junk bonds have a higher yield, as it involves investment in a portfolio that includes both low-risk government securities and risky equities. In addition, diversification does not protect investors against loss. It decreases the overall portfolio risk and improves the consistency of returns. Generally, junk bonds have a low rating; however, the return on junk bonds has outperformed the benchmark return. Higher default credit risk and lower ratings are significant drawbacks of the high-yield bonds market. Therefore, the performance of higher yield bonds compared to traditional grade bonds is a major driver of this market.
Long Term Return Potential With Flexible Exit Option
High-yield bonds generally have shorter maturities with a flexible exit from bonds. Normal bonds are issued for durations of 10 years or less and are typically redeemable after four or five years. In addition, during the economic cycle's recovery phase, high-yield bonds outperformed compared to several other fixed-income investment classes. As a result, the market growth in this sector is driven by high yield bond, which does not require favorable economic conditions and has a high potential for higher long-term returns with a flexible exit option.
