Risk Profile
Definition: The slope of a line graphed according to the value of an underlying asset on the x-axis and the value of a position exposed to risk in the underlying asset on the y-axis. Also used with changes in value. See: Payoff profile.

Risk-adjusted Discount Rate
Definition: The rate established by adding a expected risk premium to the risk-free rate in order to determine the present value of a risky investment.

Risk-adjusted Profitability
Definition: A probability used to determine a "sure" expected value (sometimes called a certainty equivalent) that would be equivalent to the actual risky expected value.

Risk-adjusted Return
Definition: Often we subtract from the rate of return on an asset a rate of return from another asset that has similar risk. This gives an abnormal rate of return that shows how the asset performed over and above a benchmark asset with the same risk. We can also use the beta against the benchmark to calculate an alpha, which is also risk-adjusted performance.

Risk-based Capital Ratio

Risk-free Asset
Definition: An asset whose future normal return is known today with certainty.

Risk-Free Interest Rate
Definition: Describes return available to an investor in a security somehow guaranteed to produce that return. The risk-free interest rate compensataes the investor for the temporary sacrifice of consumption.

Risk-On / Risk-Off
Definition: Investor sentiment shifts between riskier assets and safe havens depending on macro signals.

Risk-return Trade-off
Definition: The tendency for potential risk to vary directly with potential return, so that the more risk involved, the greater the potential return, and vice versa.

Risk-reward Ratio
Definition: Relationship of substantial reward corresponding to the amount of risk taken; mathematically represented by dividing the expected return by the standard deviation.

Risk/Reward Ratio
Definition: The relationship between the probability of loss and profit. This ratio is often used as a basis for trade selection or comparison.
