Adjusted current yield

The adjusted current yield is a financial term^[1] used in reference to bonds and other fixed-interest securities. It is closely related to the concept of current yield.

The adjusted current yield is given by the current yield with addition of ${\displaystyle {\frac {({\text{Face value}}-{\text{Clean price}})/{\text{Years to maturity}}}{\text{Clean price}}}\cdot 100\%.}$

Here Face value is the face value of the bond, and Clean price is the clean price of the bond (i.e. present value of the bond with accrued interest subtracted).

In total the adjusted current yield is given by ${\displaystyle {\frac {\text{Annual coupon payments}}{\text{Clean price}}}\cdot 100\%+{\frac {({\text{Face value}}-{\text{Clean price}})/{\text{Years to maturity}}}{\text{Clean price}}}\cdot 100\%.}$
