Series 52: 5.3.1.1. Current Yield

Taken from our Series 52 Top Off Online Guide

5.3.1.1. Current Yield

Current yield is a snapshot approximation that represents the return an investor might expect to receive if she purchased a bond today and held it for a year. It is calculated by this formula:

If a bond is selling at par value, its current yield will equal its coupon rate. If the bond is selling at a discount, the current yield will be greater than its coupon rate. Bonds selling at a premium have a lower current yield.

TESTIMONIALS

Solomon adequately prepared me to pass the 52 on my first try. Also, the one time I used the Ask the Professor tool, I received a response promptly. The pre-built study timelines were fantastic, and the ability to access via computer and the iPhone App was crucial. Many thanks to Solomon. I will use you guys again.

Questions from the exam simulator were pretty similar to the actual series 52 exam, and I felt prepared with the study guide. I will be purchasing the series 53 study materials from Solomon in the near future.

I failed the Series 52 twice and thought my troubles were with retention, but they were with the practice. I used a competitor's materials and it lacked depth and above all else it lacked a large test bank of questions. With Solomon, I went from feeling unable to fully assess all of the answers on the actual exam, to knowing why an answer was right AS WELL AS knowing why the other 3 answers were wrong. This is an underappreciated aspect of test taking that was only achieved through repetition of different questions. Solomon's large test bank was invaluable and the ability to take practice exams with only the questions you previously got wrong is a fantastic addition.

I had previously used a competitors material while preparing for the Series 52 exam. Using that material I failed the exam twice and both times I felt unprepared even after studying a ton. I switched to Solomon after reading reviews that seemed to be similar to my scenario. I finally passed!! Solomon's material did a great job of simplifying really complex material. The practice exams were very similar to the real exam. While taking the exam for the third time after studying with Solomon I felt confident the entire exam because I knew the information and had seen questions formatted similar while taking practice exams. Thanks Solomon!!!

I used Solomon for the Series 52 after failing twice with Kaplan and STC. Solomon was immensely more helpful, simpler to understand, and more accurate than both companies combined. The practice questions were very similar to the ones I saw on the exam and the Ask the Professor feature was quick and helpful. I will be using Solomon for the Series 7 in a few months, and I recommend everyone who need to take a FINRA exam to use Solomon before anything else.

No other test prep service has questions so similar to the actual exam! Pairing practice questions in the exam simulator with the explanations in the book was definitely helpful in passing the Series 52!
