(1) The main problem with the simple yield to maturity, though, is that it does not take into account compound interest.

(2) While the yield to maturity is the single most commonly used measure of yield, it nevertheless has several disadvantages.

(3) The bonds are priced to yield to maturity from 3. 9 % in 1997 to 5. 8 % in 2021-27.

(4) Another disadvantage of yield to maturity is that investors do not typically hold bonds to maturity.

(5) So far, we have calculated the yield to maturity on the basis of semi-annual discounting of semiannual coupon payments.

(6) The yield to maturity is equivalent to the money-weighted rate of return or the internal rate of return on the bond.

(7) On this basis, the authors construct yield to maturity curve and obtain regression equation of the curve through establishing a model.

(8) The yield to maturity also assumes that all coupon payments are received and reinvested at the same rate.

(9) The Yield to maturity would be higher for a discount bond, based on the fact that you are still earning interest on par even if you paid under par.

(10) If the coupon rate is greater than the yield to maturity, then the bond will sell at a premium to par value.

(11) If the coupon rate is less than the yield to maturity, then the bond will sell at a discount to par value.

(12) The innovation of this paper is fitting yield to maturity data by nonparametric smoothing method to achieve good results when we don't know much about the regression function.

(13) Think of the yield to maturity as the going rate of return for bonds of similar risk and length to maturity.

(14) With bonds, you can look at the yield to maturity, which includes both the coupons and any capital gains.

(15) Yield to maturity ( YTM)- The yield to maturity is the overall rate of return on the bond assuming that the bond is held until it matures.

(16) But eurobonds make annual payments, and the appropriate method of calculating the yield to maturity is to use annual discounting.

(17) The bond is currently priced at 98-16 per 100 nominal with a yield to maturity of 12.50 percent.

(18) The term structure of interest rates describes the relationship between the yield to maturity and the term to maturity of debt issues.

(19) It has a duration of 12 years and the current yield to maturity is 10 percent.

(20) If the bond was purchased at a premium (above par), then your overall yield to maturity will be lower than your stated coupon rate.

(21) Term structure of interest rate, which is also called the yield curve, plots a set of yield to maturity of the zero-coupon bonds with different maturities.

(22) The coupon rate is determined by the bond's issuer[Sentencedict], and it does not have to equal the yield to maturity.

(23) Doing this will have a similar result to the yield to maturity when bonds are bought at premiums or discounts.

(24) This paper simply illustrates traditional theory of term structure of interest rate, and obtains the yield to maturity of our country' s national debt through the method of continuous compounding.

(25) A widely used convention is the ISMA (International Securities Market Association) yield to maturity which makes all future cash flows equal to the price of the bond plus accrued interest.
