P/E Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.

The weighted average credit quality of the bonds held in the portfolio.

The weighted average of coupons on the bonds held in the portfolio.

The total return by an investor who buys the portfolio today at the market price, assuming that the all the bonds will be held until maturity, and that all coupon and principal payments will be made on schedule. Yield to maturity is actually an estimation of future return, as the rates at which coupon payments are assumed to be the current market rates.

When a bond is callable, puttable, exchangeable, or has other features, the yield to worst is the lowest yield of yield to maturity, yield to call, yield to put, and others.

The weighted average maturity of the bonds held in the portfolio.

Duration is measure of sensitivity of bond prices to changes in interest rates assuming small parallel shifts in the interest rates. For example a portfolio with duration of 2 years, when interest rates go up 1% the portfolio value should fall 2%. As maturity increases, duration increases and the bond’s price becomes more sensitive to interest rate changes.

A measure of how the duration of a bond changes as the interest rates changes do not occur evenly along the interest rate curve or non-parallel shifts in the interest rate curve. (measure of the curvature or 2nd derivative of how the price of a bond varies with interest rate).
