A unit trust is a vehicle for small investors to invest, indirectly, in listed securities.
Reset risk is a type of repricing risk.


The small investors buy units in the unit trust, and the trust invests in a portfolio of listed securities.
Repricing risk is the risk of adverse effects resulting from changes in floating interest rates.


A unit trust is similar to an open-ended investment company, except that the units in the unit trust are not themselves listed.
Reset risk is the additional risk resulting from a relevant reference rate being observed on a single day - and then incorporated into a longer contractual period.
 
 
"There is [  ] no ‘reset risk’ in Risk Free Rates (RFRs) since the interest rate coupon will be reflective of market observations over the entire interest rate period, not just on the reset date."

Floating interest rates - risk management - repricing risk.

Reset risk is a type of repricing risk.

Repricing risk is the risk of adverse effects resulting from changes in floating interest rates.

Reset risk is the additional risk resulting from a relevant reference rate being observed on a single day - and then incorporated into a longer contractual period.


"There is [ ] no ‘reset risk’ in Risk Free Rates (RFRs) since the interest rate coupon will be reflective of market observations over the entire interest rate period, not just on the reset date."
