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.
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 ...
The British pound yield curve on February 9, 2005. This curve is unusual (inverted) in that long-term rates are lower than short-term ones. Yield curves are usually upward sloping asymptotically: the longer the maturity, the higher the yield, with diminishing marginal increases (that is, as one moves to the right, the curve flattens out).
The yield to maturity (YTM) is the discount rate which returns the market price of a bond without embedded optionality; it is identical to (required return) in the above equation. 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 ...
For a bond with an embedded option, a yield to maturity based calculation of convexity (and of duration) does not consider how changes in the yield curve will alter the cash flows due to option exercise. To address this, an effective convexity must be calculated numerically. [18]

Over the coming 30 years, the price will advance to $100, and the annualized return will be 10%. This is incorrect. The 30-year zero coupon bond with a face value of $100 will cost $5.73 if the Annualized Internal Rate of Return is 10% ( = 1/1.1^30). If the Yield to Maturity is 10%, the price will be $5.35 ( = 1/1.05^60)
