Yield To Maturity

The total return anticipated on a bond if it is held until its maturity date, including all interest payments and the repayment of principal.

Bond's Duration

Bond's duration measures the sensitivity of the bond's price to changes in interest rates, often indicating the average time it takes for a bond to repay its true cost.
