Risk-Free Rate.


The risk that transactions or business relationships may have unforeseen adverse legal consequences.
The abbreviation 'RFR' usually refers to risk-free benchmark interest rates, such as SONIA.


For example, giving rise to additional costs or to the inability to enforce legal rights.
Also known as ''near'' risk-free rates, recognising that such rates are never entirely risk-free.

Theoretically risk free rates of ''investment'' return, for example in the Capital asset pricing model, are more often designated by 'Rf' or 'rf'.


The risk that the administration of legal matters may be more costly - or otherwise more burdensome - than foreseen.


Legal risk may arise from existing laws and practice, or from changes in relevant laws and practice.
