thebkr777 Can anyone explain?
FRAbyFRA Think of credit quality in the context of a bond. If the bond issuer has low credit quality, it becomes more likely that coupon payments won't be made. The same applies to rent payments from commercial property tennants, which provide the "fixed income" portion of the property's return.
