High-yield bonds are a less common component of the Nordic fixed income market, but they still offer investors an opportunity to achieve higher yields in their fixed income portfolios. These bonds are issued by companies with lower credit ratings and are considered riskier investments than government bonds or investment grade bonds. 

Overall, the Nordic fixed income market offers investors a variety of options to build a diversified fixed income portfolio, from the safety and stability of government bonds to the higher yields of high-yield bonds. With strong credit quality, a focus on sustainability and ESG factors, and a commitment to transparency, the Nordic fixed income market is an attractive option for investors seeking reliable fixed income investments.
