When converting a discount-basis yield to a bond-equivalent yield (BEY), why is the BEY generally higher?

  1. BEY is a nominal rate while discount yield is an effective rate.
  2. BEY uses the actual purchase price in the denominator and a 365-day year.
  3. BEY assumes continuous compounding while discount yield assumes annual.
  4. BEY includes an inflation premium that discount yields ignore.
