An investor is considering a 10-year callable bond with a 7% annual coupon. The bond is currently trading at 105.00. The yield to maturity (YTM) is calculated as 6.30%, while the yield to call (YTC) in Year 5 (at a call price of 102.00) is 6.05%.
What is the most appropriate yield measure for a conservative investor to use, and why?
- 6.05% because it is the yield to worst
- 6.18%, the simple average of YTM and YTC
- 6.30% YTM, since a call is unlikely
- 6.67% current yield, the coupon over market price
