Convenience yield Convenience Yield The extra gain that an investor receives for holding a commodity rather than an option or futures contract on that commodity. Because of the uncertainty of future events, the convenience yield can be (though is not always) quite high. For example, if one holds so many barrels of oil and there is a sudden disruption in a major pipeline, the value of the physical barrel will increase while the value of a futures contract on oil likely will decrease.
