### Corporate Bonds Traded on Moscow Exchange Wednesday - **RSKH (ISIN: RU000A1068R1)** -0.1% - **Polyus (ISIN: RU000A108L81)** +0.2% - **Borets Capital (ISIN: RU000A105ZX2)** +0.1% - **AFK Sistema (ISIN: RU000A101XN7)** +0.1% All corporate bonds are rated, allowing investors to quickly assess the creditworthiness of the issuer. In Russia, a national rating scale is used. The highest rating is "AAA", the lowest is "C", and the "D" rating indicates actual default. Higher ratings generally indicate a more reliable issuer and lower bond yields. - **AAA-rated bonds** are the most reliable, typically issued by large, systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ rated bonds** are considered reliable and are favored by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB+ to BBB- rated bonds** are transitional, issued by companies that may be sensitive to adverse market or economic conditions (e.g., rising interest rates). - **B+ to BB+ rated bonds** are high-yield issuers (HYG), with higher risks and higher yields, often issued by small or medium-sized businesses in risky sectors. - **CCC and D rated bonds** are near default, carrying the highest risks. The overview was presented by Yulia Grishchenko, a member of the Expert Council on Listing at the Moscow Exchange, Ph.D. in Economics, and Head of the Department of Financial and Investment Management at the Faculty of "Higher School of Management" of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.
