Effective Yield

The effective yield is the return on a bond that has its interest payments (or coupons) reinvested at the same rate by the bondholder. Effective yield is the total yield an investor receives, in contrast to the nominal yield—which is the stated interest rate of the bond’s coupon. Effective yield takes into account the power of compounding on investment returns, while nominal yield does not.
