high-yield
Generating big returns
High-yield describes investments or activities that produce large returns relative to input.
A high-yield bond pays above-average interest, typically because the issuing company carries greater risk of default—also called junk bonds.
High-yield savings accounts offer better interest rates than standard accounts.
In agriculture, high-yield crops produce more per acre.
The term often signals that higher returns come with higher risk or cost.
