Abstract: This study uses structural equation modelling (SEM) to chart the effects on bond yield of managerial choices around capital structure, as captured by company size, leverage and liquidity. Results are based on a sample of 22 Indonesian companies, over the period 2012-2016. The study contributes to an understanding of the effects that managerial choices around financing strategies exert on bond yield. It finds that only company size has a statistically significant direct effect on bond yield. When company size is held as a moderator variable, both leverage and liquidity display positive indirect effects. The aggregate effect of leverage on yield is positive, and that of liquidity is negative, when company size is employed as a moderator variable. A secondary result is that different accounting definitions of leverage and liquidity may alter the direction of the estimated effect, thereby recommending caution in basing financing strategies solely on accounting metrics.
