A bond that is issued by a US company (usually a high grade issuer), outside of the US in a currency other than US dollars. For issuers, reverse Yankee bonds provide cost savings when compared to yankee bonds. They also allow issuers to hedge balance sheet exposure to translation risks (generally FX risks) and also provide an effective means to hedge business economic exposures. For institutional investors, these bonds may offer enhanced yields and spreads.
