This page contains data entry 7017 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I'm shopping around for someplace to put my cash short-term and was looking at corporate bonds through the Schwab platform—and noticed they carried a yield lower than that of short-term treasury bonds. Short term treasuries are around 5.4%, while almost all corporate bonds are significantly less than that — most less than 5%. I would have assumed that corporate bonds, since they carry more risk and are less liquid, would yield a higher rate. Why is this the case, and why would anyone buy a short term corporate bond?
