Simple Yield Calculation Method

From Open Risk Manual

Definition

Simple Yield Calculation Method. The annual rate of return expressed as a percentage. This is the return divided by the outlay and multiplied by 100 to express the figure as a percentage.

This is yield in its simplest sense, expressed as a percentage of return to outlay. As such, this is the same way that yield is determined for any investments, not just financial instruments or debt investments.
