Investment glossary terms beginning with the letter Y:

Yield to Maturity- The yield an investor would realize on a bond or other fixed income security or investment if the security is held to the maturity date. If the bond or security is sold at a premium the yield to maturity is less than the current yield, whereas it would be greater than the current yield if it is sold at a discount.
