What is the annual effective yield?

The measure of the annual return on investment, which takes into account compounding interest, is called the effective annual yield. It is calculated by annualizing and compounding the return over the holding period.



This being said, what is the yield effective?

The effective yield is the yield that an investor gets, not the nominal yield, which is the stated coupon interest rate. While nominal yield doesn't, effective yield considers compounding effects on investment returns.

What is the annual effective yield of 6% compounded monthly, in similar fashion? A nominal interest rate compounded monthly of 6% is equivalent to an effective rate of 6.17 percent. 6% monthly is credit as 6%/12 = 0.05 every month. After one year, capital is increased by the factor (1 + 0.0512 = 1.0617).

You may also wonder, "What is the formula to achieve an effective annual yield?"

Annual Percentage Yield. In this example, the annual percentage yield is equal to (1.03) 12 - 1. 43 = 43%. Here, 1.03 plus the monthly interest equals 1 and 12. 12 refers to the number of compounding interest periods per year. This is also called the annual effective yield.
