The theoretical rate of return attributed to an investment with zero risk. 3, record 2, English, - risk%2Dfree%20rate
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The risk-free rate does not technically exist, since even the safest investments carry a very small amount of risk. Thus, investors commonly use the interest rate on a three-month U.S. Treasury bill as a proxy for the risk-free rate, since short-term government-issued securities have virtually zero risk of default. 3, record 2, English, - risk%2Dfree%20rate

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Ainsi, le taux de rendement des bons du Trésor est souvent considéré comme un taux hors risque étant donné qu'il s’agit de titres d’emprunt émis par l'État dont le terme est suffisamment court pour minimiser les risques d’inflation et de fluctuation des taux d’intérêt du marché. 3, record 2, French, - taux%20sans%20risque

A measurement of interest rate risk exposure based on price risk and reinvestment risk. 2, record 3, English, - duration
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Price risk is the chance that interest rates will rise, reducing the market value of an investment; reinvestment risk is the chance that interest rates will fall, so that cash flows from the original instrument can only be reinvested at a lower rate than they had been earning. Obviously, price risk and reinvestment risk move in opposite directions. The decline in the price of a bond in relation to a change in interest rates can be tied directly to the duration of the bond. 2, record 3, English, - duration

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La duration permet d’évaluer à quel point le coût d’un élément d’actif, de passif ou hors bilan est sensible aux fluctuations mineures des taux d’intérêt en indiquant par un simple chiffre le niveau d’exposition de l'institution au risque de taux. Cette valeur numérique correspond à la durée moyenne jusqu'à l'échéance des mouvements de trésorerie. 3, record 3, French, - duration
