Bond Yield to Maturity


Previously week we discussed the bond current yield, this week it is the Bond Yield to Maturity
As a premium subscriber you have access to a feature that makes it easy to search for current bond yields to maturity. 

The yield to maturity (YTM) is a combination of the return or loss on par value plus the coupon. Bonds selling at a discount to par tend to have higher yields than their peers, while the yields of those selling at a premium tend to be lower. However depending on the coupon and timing of entry these metrics will be varied. 
If you are a high net worth individual with a managed portfolio in a big name bank, you can participate directly using our bond screener to identify the changing ytm landscape and using that to provide good returns on your portfolio.   http://www.broadstreetlagos.com/bond-screener Clicking on the url will take you there, if you have a premium profile.
