A. Characteristics of Debt Securities that Cause Their Yields to Vary
2. Liquidity
a. the ease of conversion to cash without loss of value.
b. the lower a securities liquidity, the higher the yield preferred by investor.

A. Characteristics of Debt Securities that Cause Their Yields to Vary
3. Tax Status
Investors are more concerned with after-tax income.
Taxable securities must offer a higher before-tax yield

A. Characteristics of Debt Securities that Cause Their Yields to VaryTo compute the equivalent Before-Tax Yield:
where τat = After-tax yield
τbt = Before-tax yield
T = Investor’s marginal tax rate

A. Characteristics of Debt Securities that Cause Their Yields to Vary
4. Term to Maturity maturity dates will differ between debt
securities The term structure of interest rates defines the
relationship between term to maturity and the annualized yield

B. Estimating Debt Yield
1. Explaining Actual Yield Differentials
a. Small differentials can be significant
b. Basis points (bp) are often quoted where
1bp = .01% = .0001

B. Estimating Debt Yield
3.Yield Differentials of Capital Market Securities
a. Municipal (munis) bonds have lowest before-tax yield
b. Treasury bonds may have higher before-tax yield than munis but have lowest
after- tax yield
c. Corporate bonds may have highest yields

C. Term Structure of Interest Rates
1. Three prevailing theories:
a. Pure Expectations Theoryemphasizes the impact of an expected change in interest rates
b. Liquidity Premium Theory emphasizes estimation of the Forward Rate based on a Liquidity Premium
c. Segmented Markets Theory
