Home > Yield (economics)

 
The yield of a financial instrument, usually a debt or other fixed income instrument, is the amount the holder is paid each year for leaving his or her money invested in that instrument. Unlike a corporate dividend, a yield is fairly certain, unless there is a bankruptcy.

While yields vary with inflation, they tend to fit in a fixed order: the least risky instruments, such as Treasury bonds, yield the least, then safe and "guaranteed" instruments like long-term deposit s, then overnight deposit s, and so on to the various municipal bond and corporate bond s. Extremely risky instruments with high yield are usually called junk bonds.
