The Variety of Maturities Offered by Firms and Institutional Investment in Corporate Bonds

Nishant Dass and Massimo Massa

The Review of Financial Studies, 2014, vol. 27, issue 7, 2219-2266

Abstract: We study how a firm's decision to offer bonds of various maturities affects the portfolio allocations of institutional investors. We argue that because of lower information-collection costs, institutional investors tilt their portfolios towards firms that offer bonds of various maturities. We show that this translates into lower bond yields, both in the primary and in the secondary bond markets.
