Look for the definition of the term from the source of the information you are using. Usually, the yield is the annual return on your investment.

APR and APY are two different things. APY is the annual percentage yield, APR is the annual percentage RATE. The APY takes compounding into account.
But Cato is right--yield usually refers to annually.

Frequency, how often does it pay. Some are annual, some semi-annual, some quarterly, and a rare few perhaps monthly. It is the same issue that you ask of banks and compound interest, which banks used to be very reluctant to do.
