Coupon payments are fixed, but the percentage return that investors receive varies based on market conditions. This percentage return is referred to as the bond’s yield. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the rate of return expected from a bond held until its maturity date. However, the YTM equals the expected rate of return under certain assumptions. Which of the following is one of those assumptions? The bond has an early redemption feature. The bond will not be called.
