Yield

In stocks and bonds, the amount of money returned to investors on their investments. Also known as rate of return. Interest and dividends paid to mutual fund shareholders as a percentage of share price (Net Asset Value). Also the effective interest rate on a bond. For instance, if a bond pays 1.00 interests annually, and is selling for 10.00, the yield is (1.00/10.00) 10 per cent.
