RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Collateralization of Bond Interest JF The Journal of Investing FD Institutional Investor Journals SP 32 OP 34 DO 10.3905/joi.2005.605279 VO 14 IS 4 A1 Harold Bierman, Jr YR 2005 UL https://pm-research.com/content/14/4/32.abstract AB Collateralization of bond interest is a new development in corporate finance. If the investor accepts a lower interest, then it is possible for the borrower to have a lower borrowing cost. This article shows that there is no reason to think the borrowing cost is lowered if the funds used to collateralize the interest are borrowed.
