Negative carry

Negative carry occurs when the cost to finance an investment purchase exceeds the yield produced by the investment. For example, if an investor borrows money at 8 percent interest, and uses those funds to purchase a bond that pays 5 percent interest, the investor would be losing 3 percent interest on the investment.
