Yield on demand is a calculation of the total return from investing in a bond until the call date, assuming the call price remains constant. The yield-to-call formula divides the total annual income of the callable bond by the current principal amount and market price. Yield to call and yield to maturity are projected by investors to determine acceptable returns before purchasing bonds.
A yield on demand is a calculation of the total return that will result from investing in a bond, assuming the bond is held until the call date. It also assumes that the call price will remain constant and not be affected by an irregular set of factors over the life of the bond. Investors will often use the yield-to-call calculation as part of their judgments about whether or not to invest in the bond issue.
The formula for calculating a yield to call is very simple. Essentially, it involves dividing the total annual income of the callable bond by the current principal amount and the market price. The difference between the purchase price and the purchase price is subtracted from this figure. In the event that the purchase price is lower than the purchase price, the time value of the difference will also be taken into account in the calculation. The final answer will be in the form of a percentage and will serve as an indicator of the amount of return the investor can reasonably expect.
In many ways, a call yield is very similar to calculating a yield to maturity. However, there is a key difference to keep in mind. The call yield anticipates a shorter life for the bonds in question, as the redemption date may or may not coincide with the maturity date. A yield to maturity assumes that there will be no early call on the bond and that it will remain in effect until full maturity is reached.
It’s not unusual for investors to project both a yield to call and yield to maturity as part of the consideration process for any given investment. When it comes to investing in bonds, it’s actually a very good practice to look at the expected return given the two different sets of circumstances. If the investor finds that the yield in both scenarios falls within acceptable limits, he can feel free to proceed with the purchase of the bonds.
