In this short, Annie, Head Mentor at WSO Academy, breaks down the key differences between loans and bonds exactly how interviewers expect candidates to explain them in investment banking and DCM interviews.

You will learn:

Why loans are typically senior and secured while bonds usually are not

Floating-rate vs fixed-rate structures and why high interest rate environments impact loans differently

Amortization and prepayment schedules for Term Loan A vs Term Loan B

Why bond investors dislike early repayment and how maturity works

This is core technical knowledge for IB, DCM, LevFin, and capital markets roles, and one of the most common areas candidates get wrong in interviews.
