What is a Commercial Paper?
Commercial Paper is a short-term, unsecured debt instrument issued by creditworthy corporations and financial institutions. Companies issue commercial paper as a cost-effective alternative to bank loans, enabling them to manage short-term liquidity requirements.
Why Invest in Commercial Papers?
Short-Term Investment
An attractive option for investors seeking liquidity and flexibility, due to their short maturities (1 – 12 months).
Higher Yields
Offers a fixed interest rate with a yield that is often higher than savings accounts or government securities like Treasury Bills.
Consistent Source of Income
Provides a consistent source of income for investors seeking short-term opportunities with potentially higher yields. With fixed interest payments and a predetermined maturity, they often offer reliable returns within a specific time frame.
Creditworthy Issuers
Issued by companies which are publicly listed and/or have strong credit ratings. The financial information about the issuer is disclosed, providing investors confidence in the issuer’s ability to repay.
Diversification
Delivers portfolio diversification by providing exposure to corporate debt, distinct from other asset classes like public equities and bonds.
Risks of Investing in Commercial Paper
Credit Risk: While commercial paper is generally issued by reputable and creditworthy companies, it remains an unsecured instrument. There is no collateral and carries the risk of issuer default. Investors should therefore carefully assess the financial health and creditworthiness of the issuing company before committing to such investments.
