Question:

What Locations are most heavily marketed in HK?

There's a connection to the ratings, certainly!

Why do you suppose that is?

(Quick answer: think about the size of commissions)

Here are some more Locations to look at

 

Location------------- : Yield% : Rating------ : L.T. :

Moldova, Chisinau : 10.00%: Spectacular : 3

Poland, Warsaw--- : 6.71% : Mod.toGood : 3

Spain, Madrid------ : 3.91% : Very Poor--- : 1

Portugal, Lisbon--- : 5.77% : Moderate--- : 2

Moldova - because it got the only "spectacular" rating, and

Poland-- - because it is about to borrow at Neg. Rates (in SFR),

the first emerging market borrower to do so

 

Spain--- - because I expected Yields to be higher

Portugal - beats Spain, but still disappoints on yield
