  2. Yield to maturity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_to_maturity

    Even though the yield-to-maturity for the remaining life of the bond is just 7%, and the yield-to-maturity bargained for when the bond was purchased was only 10%, the annualized return earned over the first 10 years is 16.25%. This can be found by evaluating (1+i) from the equation (1+i) 10 = (25.84/5.73), giving 0.1625.

  3. Bond valuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_valuation

    YTM is thus the internal rate of return of an investment in the bond made at the observed price. Since YTM can be used to price a bond, bond prices are often quoted in terms of YTM. To achieve a return equal to YTM, i.e. where it is the required return on the bond, the bond owner must: buy the bond at price ,

  4. Option-adjusted spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option-adjusted_spread

    "Trees" are widely applied here. Other common pricing-methods are simulation and PDEs.. Option-adjusted spread (OAS) is the yield spread which has to be added to a benchmark yield curve to discount a security's payments to match its market price, using a dynamic pricing model that accounts for embedded options.

  5. Duration (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duration_(finance)

    The average duration of the bonds in the portfolio is often reported. The duration of a portfolio equals the weighted average maturity of all of the cash flows in the portfolio. If each bond has the same yield to maturity, this equals the weighted average of the portfolio's bond's durations, with weights proportional to the bond prices. [1]

  6. Yield curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_curve

    There is a time dimension to the analysis of bond values. A 10-year bond at purchase becomes a 9-year bond a year later, and the year after it becomes an 8-year bond, etc. Each year the bond moves incrementally closer to maturity, resulting in lower volatility and shorter duration and demanding a lower interest rate when the yield curve is rising.

  7. Yield (finance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yield_(finance)

    The current yield is the ratio of the annual interest (coupon) payment and the bond's market price. [4] [5] The yield to maturity is an estimate of the total rate of return anticipated to be earned by an investor who buys a bond at a given market price, holds it to maturity, and receives all interest payments and the payment of par value on ...

  8. Fixed-income attribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-income_attribution

    For instance, a bond paying a 10% annual coupon will always pay 10% of its face value to the owner each year, even if there is no change in market conditions. However, the effective yield on the bond may well be different, since the market price of the bond is usually different from the face value. Yield return is calculated from

  9. Z-spread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-spread

    The Z-spread of a bond is the number of basis points (bp, or 0.01%) that one needs to add to the Treasury yield curve (or technically to Treasury forward rates) so that the Net present value of the bond cash flows (using the adjusted yield curve) equals the market price of the bond (including accrued interest). The spread is calculated iteratively.
