Risk-Free Rate.

The abbreviation 'RFR' usually refers to risk-free benchmark interest rates, such as SONIA.

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'.
