junk bonds Junk bonds, or speculative grade bonds, or high yield bonds are bonds rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. They have a higher risk of default, but pay a higher yield than investment grade bonds to attract investors. Such bonds are rated at Ba and below by Moody's, at BB+ and below by Standard and Poor's and BB+ by Fitch.
