Extract

In the market for fixed-interest securities, several variants of the yield to redemption (YTR) concept are used. The YTR of a stock is simply the internal rate of return which the holder can expect to receive if he she holds the stock until maturity. Since income tax has to be paid by some, if not all investors on the interest received, and in some cases on the capital gain as well, a distinction is made between the gross YTR and the net YTR.
