What is the role of YTM in debt fund investments?

A debt fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in fixed-income assets.

Debt funds are also known as fixed income funds or bond funds. 

When choosing a debt fund, yield to maturity is an important factor to consider.

YTM is the total anticipated return on investment for a bond when held to maturity. 

YTM takes into account the entire present worth of future earnings.

It is the internal rate of return of a bond investment.

Yield to maturity is a measure of 
returns for debt funds.

However, it is always changing due to shifting market conditions.

In practice, the YTM of an open-ended debt fund frequently deviates from the scheme.
