Detailed Description
The risk-free rate is generally a rate available on instruments considered to have virtually no possibility of default, such as U.S. Treasury obligations. Using the latest data from the Federal Reserve Board, the BVR Risk-Free Rate Lookup provides nine risk-free rates commonly used to develop a discount rate.
To retrieve the risk-free rates for a specific day, simply enter the As of Date and click on Get Rates.
If the Federal Reserve Board did not publish rates for the date selected (weekend, holiday, market closed), the BVR Risk-Free Rate Lookup will retrieve the most recent rates prior to the date selected and these will be shown in red. If there is available information for the exact As of Date, the date will be shown in gray. The most recent available data reported by the Federal Reserve Board is from two business days prior to the current date.
