债券等值收益率的中文解释
为方便与债券的收益率直接比较,将货币市场金融产品如国库券的收益率转换为年收益率(annual yield),这种收益率则称为债券等值收益率。像美国的国库券因期限在一年以内,到期前不付息,价格因而以低于面值的贴现方式表达,如果不经转换计算,其收益水平便无法直接与较长期的公债相比较。
Bond Equivalent Yield的英文解释
A
calculation that converts the yield of a money market instrument, such as a Treasury bill, into the
equivalent yield of a Treasury bond in order to compare efficiency. Yields on Treasury bills are expressed as a
discount from face value and their
maturity is often less than a year, so a
calculation is needed to
convert their yield into the
equivalentannual yield of a bond.
