Senior versus Junior

Same exposure, two seats. Junior earns more because it stands in front of the loss; the spread below is what that extra risk pays.

These grades describe principal risk, not a recommendation. A first-loss Junior tranche can lose capital before the Senior seat is touched. Yields are variable and the underlying exposures carry their own redemption and market risk. Read the methodology before acting on any grade.
