Introduction:

A bond is a security that creates an obligation on the issuer to make specified payments to the holder for a given period of time. The face value of the bond is the amount the holder will receive on maturity along with the coupon rate which is also known as the interest rate of the bond.

Yield to maturity is defined as the discount rate that makes the present payments from the bond equal to its price. In simple terms, it is the average rate of return a holder can expect from that bond.

Convertible bonds are those which the holder can convert into a specified number of shares in the issuing company or into cash.
