      Guaranteed as in rate of return for the lender…

      Like, yeah, there’s some breakage, but your return on investment is going to be close to interest rate.

      Buy a stock and you might beat 10%, you might not.

      Buy debt, and you get your interest or sell it to a third party for a smaller amount, likely still more than the amount loaned, just piled high with interest.
