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


A perpetuity factor is the fraction 1/r, used when evaluating a fixed perpetuity.
Also known as ''near'' risk-free rates, recognising that such rates are never entirely risk-free.


Using this simple formula assumes a constant periodic cost of capital (r) for all periods from now to infinity.


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


Sometimes known as the Perpetuity formula.

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'.
