Assuming no default, the return is also affected by changes in interest rates that affect coupon reinvestment and the price of the bond if it is sold before it matures.

Reading 54 Understanding Fixed‑Income Risk and Return (Intro)It is important for analysts to have a well-developed understanding of the risk and return characteristics of fixed-income investments.
