Yield
The annual rate of return on an investment expressed as a percentage. Both stock and bond investments are measured by their annual yield. In charts, the yield indicator plots a stock or mutual fund's rolling 52-week dividend yield. The dividend yield is calculated for each period by dividing the 52-week rolling dividend by its closing price and multiplying by 100.
Using Yield can be an effective way to compare the profitability of more than one investment which pay dividends at different times of the year.
YTD Return
The current year-to-date load-adjusted return for a mutual fund, updated monthly.
