In the past, I avoided investing in corporate bonds as I preferred to invest in equities. I am able to get equities of strong listed companies that gave an attractive dividend yield above 5% p.a. They are from China stocks listed in Hong Kong. 

With the uncertain global economic situation, I am now willing to consider investing in corporate bonds of strong listed companies. 

I can find useful information from this website from Philips securities. Link. 

I searched for the yields of corporate bonds with maturity within the past 3 years. Most of the bond gave an annual yield of around 3.5%. 

The average yield on bonds with maturity between 3 to 6 years is 4%. 

These bonds are traded in lots of $250,000. They are for accredited investors. 

Although bonds are supposed to be safer than equities, they can also fail. For example, the perpetual securities of Hyflux and the  AT1 bonds of Credit Swisse have failed in recent years.
