Key Risks

U.S. Treasury bonds are often considered a benchmark for the risk-free rate in financial models. The risk-free rate represents the theoretical rate of return on an investment with zero risk, serving as a baseline for assessing the risk and return of other investments.

However, it is important to note that while U.S. Treasury bonds are generally considered low risk, they are not completely risk-free. They are still subject to interest rate risk, inflation risk, and potential default risk, although the likelihood of default is considered extremely low. Please note that the value of an investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The value of equities and equity-related securities can be affected by daily stock market movements.
