The basics

What is commercial paper?

Commercial paper is short-term debt issued by established companies to fund their everyday operations — things like inventory, payroll and near-term obligations. Instead of borrowing from a bank, the company borrows directly from investors like you, and repays the amount plus a fixed return over a short period, typically a few weeks to several months.

• Fixed, predictable returns agreed upfront, not tied to market swings.
• Short tenors, so your capital isn’t locked away for long.
• Exposure to established corporate issuers.
• A way to diversify beyond equities.

Because tenors are short and issuers are usually well-established companies, commercial paper is often used as a lower-volatility complement to stocks — though, like any investment, your return depends on the issuer meeting its obligations.
