Description

“Credit” is a bond risk factor that captures the risk of a lender recovering the principal of their investment.

The factor is proxied by going long a basket of lower credit quality bonds and short a basket of higher quality bonds (U.S. Treasuries) with the goal of neutralizing much of the duration exposure of the factor.
