Risk-Free Rate.


The most common class of index linked bonds are inflation linked bonds paying a coupon linked to inflation so as to provide a real return.
The abbreviation 'RFR' usually refers to risk-free benchmark interest rates, such as SONIA.


For example UK Index Linked Gilts or US Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS).
Also known as ''near'' risk-free rates, recognising that such rates are never entirely risk-free.
