In investing TER is "Total Expense Ratio" i.e. related to fees. Yield usually refers to the expected income a fund pays.

They are very different:
Yield is the calculated % value over the past year of the total income (dividends and/or interest paid to the investor) divided by the current price. It does not include capital gains.
TER is the % of the total fund value taken by the fund manager to cover their costs. Again a calculated value based on the previous year’s data.

TER is obsolete with OEIC/UTs but still exists on some other investment universes. Some platforms still show the TER on OEIC/UTs even though OCF has replaced it.
