Interest Rate Risk – South Florida State and Federal Court Breach of Contract and Business Litigation Attorney:
Interest rate risk is relates to the fact that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the value of an investor’s securities portfolio. For example, an investor with large holdings in long term bonds and utilities has assumed a significant interest-rate risk, because the value of those bonds and utility stocks will fall if interest rates rise. Investors can take various protective measures to hedge their interest-rate risk, such as buying interest-rate futures or interest-rate options contracts.
