Yield To Maturity Definition

Yield to Maturity (YTM) is a concept in investing that helps determine the potential return of a fixed-income security, such as bonds or notes, over its entire lifespan.

It represents the total annualized return an investor can expect to earn from holding the security until its maturity date, considering both the periodic coupon payments and the final principal repayment.

YTM is calculated by incorporating various factors, including the bond’s current market price, face value, coupon rate, and time remaining until maturity.

It reflects the yield an investor would receive if they purchased the bond at its current price and held it until maturity, assuming all coupon payments are reinvested at the same YTM.

It helps investors compare and analyze different bonds with varying coupon rates, maturities, and market prices. By evaluating the YTM, investors can decide which bonds offer the most attractive returns and align with their investment objectives.
