Hercules, for anyone who doesn't know, also has a high yield but has a much different business -- they mostly do private lending and equity investing, and venture capital, in small tech and biotech companies. Way, way, way far away from AAA, but whether it's riskier than mortgages is maybe an open question in the current environment.
