### Corporate Bonds Traded on Moscow Exchange on Wednesday - **Polyus** (ISIN: RU000A108L81, ticker: PBO-04) -0.1% - **Borets Capital Bond 001P-05** (ISIN: RU000A10EK71) +0.4% - **AFK Sistema** (ISIN: RU000A101XN7, issue 14) -0.1% All corporate bonds are rated, which helps investors 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 there is also a "D" category indicating an actual default. Higher ratings indicate more reliable issuers and typically lower bond yields. - **AAA bonds** are the most reliable. These are large, systemically important companies, often with state participation. - **A- to AA+ bonds** are reliable securities. They are typically invested in by pension funds and other institutional investors. - **BBB- to BBB+ bonds** are transitional. These may be reliable companies but are sensitive to adverse market or economic events (e.g., an increase in the key interest rate). - **B- to BB+ bonds** are high-yielding (HY) issuers. These carry high risks and high yields, typically issued by small or medium-sized businesses operating in risky sectors. - **CCC and D bonds** are on the brink of default, carrying maximum risks.
