Answer: Yield to maturity (aka, yield)
The bond indenture typically specifies the bond’s key contractual terms, such as the issuer’s legal identity, par value, coupon rate, maturity, covenants, and any call/put provisions. **Yield to maturity** is not a term set in the indenture; it is a market-derived return measure that depends on the bond’s price and cash flows. Therefore, it is the least likely to be explicitly specified.
