According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, taking advantage of recent sales by retail investors, large funds are raking in junk bonds. This is a market that is worth US $ 1.6 trillion in the United States.

Institutional investors also seem to ignore the fears of those who believe that the multi-year rush of “junk” bonds is about to end. Since the end of 2008, these bonds – issued by companies with a rating below investment grade – have guaranteed returns of 150%. In the same period, the Dow Jones index on Wall Street gained 90%.
