Q573

Bonds issued by small companies tend to have

A.
high liquidity premium
Answer
B.
high inflation premium
C.
high default premium
D.
high yield premium

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Bonds issued by small companies tend to have high liquidity premium. Liquidity premium is a premium demanded by investors when any given security cannot be easily converted into cash for its fair market value. When the liquidity premium is high, the asset is said to be illiquid, and investors demand additional compensation for the added risk of investing their assets over a more extended period since valuations can fluctuate with market effects.
