ICMA Yield Formula

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

ICMA Yield Formula. The calculation method specified by ICMA (formerly ISMA) for determination of yield for fixed-rate bonds.

This basic formula is used across many markets, including the US and most of Europe. While individual markets may have different flavors (French round their bonds to 5 decimals, UK Gilts have ex-div), the formula is still the same. This would be the formula used by "Wall Street Yield", "US Treasury Yield", "Corporate Bond Yield" etc. Notes Origin:Fidessa
