  Yield curve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In finance and economics, the yield curve or the term structure of interest rates is the relationship between the cost of borrowing money and the amount of time the money is being borrowed for.
This theory suggests that the yield on a long-term instrument is equal to the geometric mean of the yield on a series of short-term instruments.
Yield curves are usually upward sloping and accelerating; the longer the maturity, the higher the yield.

 Giddy: What Is Leveraged Finance?
As a result, levered finance is commonly employed to achieve a specific, often temporary, objective: to make an acquisition, to effect a buy-out, to repurchase shares or fund a one-time dividend, or to invest in a self-sustaining cash-generating asset.
Leveraged Acquisition Finance is the provision of bank loans and the issue of high yield bonds to fund acquisitions of companies or parts of companies by an existing internal management team (a management buy-out), an external management team (a management buy-in) or a third party (an acquisition).
Leveraged asset-based finance entails raising debt capital for companies where the physical assets or a defined, contractual cash flow form the basis for highly levered non- or limited-recourse funding of assets or projects.

 Yield-Maintenance : Commercial Mortgage, Structured Finance, Bridge Loan, Mixed-Use Property Financing, and Commercial ...
Yield Maintenance is a prepayment penalty that, in the event the borrower pays off a loan before maturity, allows the lender to attain the same yield as if the borrower had made all scheduled mortgage payments until maturity.
Yield maintenance premiums are designed to make lenders indifferent to an early prepayment by a borrower.
The yield maintenance prepayment penalty would equal the difference between the current 7% rate and the yield that the bank would receive reinvesting the loan proceeds in a 10 year Treasury Note.

 Guerrilla Funk: Finance: Price Goes Up, Yield Goes Down
Yield is a figure that captures this change in value.
In the real world, when people talk about yield, they're really talking about another figure, called "yield to maturity." This represents the total return you can expect if you buy a bond at a given price and hold it until it matures.
Yield to maturity includes the fact that the bond you bought for $800 will pay you $1,000 when it's due.

 Advanced Bond Tutorial:The Term Structure of Interest Rates
Constructed by graphing the yield to maturities and the respective maturity dates of benchmark fixed-income securities, the yield curve is a measure of the market's expectations of future interest rates given the current market conditions.
The inverted yield curve indicates that the market currently expects interest rates to decline as time moves further into the future, which in turn means the market expects yields of long-term bonds to decline.
When the yield to maturity was calculated, we assumed that the coupons were reinvested at an interest rate equal to the coupon rate--therefore, the bond was priced at par as though prevailing interest rates were equal to the bond's coupon rate.

 Hussman Funds - Weekly Market Comment: February 14, 2005 - Bad Finance
The Mother of bad finance is the Fed Model — the notion that the prospective earnings yield on the SandP 500 should be equal to the 10-year Treasury bond yield.
Further, the model rests on the unbaked assumption that the yield on a 10-year Treasury bond — having a duration of about 8 years — is the appropriate benchmark with which to value a stock index that currently has a duration of over 60 years.
Given that the dividend yield on the SandP 500 is actually 1.7%, it appears that a marginally higher dividend yield could be supported by sustainable cash flows if companies were to discontinue option and stock grants (which is a poor bet).

 Rescue Finance--Struggling Companies Cope By Fusing High Yield And Bank Loans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Worse, issuers, particularly those in the whipsawed utility sector, worried that in going long now, they'd be stuck paying the price for a short-term dip in their fortunes for years to come.
The $200 million term loan Goodyear carved out for institutional accounts carried a mouthwatering spread of LIBOR (L)+400, and investors were offered the chance to buy in at an original issue discount of 97 percent, effectively pushing the all-in spread to L+500, assuming a three-year life.
In fact, all three of these sectors—utilities, energy and airlines—are good candidates for rescue financing because they have a fair number of fallen angel issues with looming liquidity issues and with wide swaths of unencumbered assets that can be pledged to support rescue deals.
