Interest Rate, Repricing, and Reinvestment Risk

Risk-management terms for interest-rate exposure, repricing gaps, reinvestment risk, rollover risk, and duration gaps.

Interest Rate, Repricing, and Reinvestment Risk is the risk-management area for interest-rate exposure, repricing gaps, reinvestment risk, rollover risk, and duration gaps. These terms matter when they change how rate changes alter valuation, coupon income, funding cost, reinvestment income, or refinancing risk.

Use this page as orientation before relying on a narrower term. Check the yield curve, repricing schedule, duration report, maturity ladder, coupon reset terms, funding agreement, and benchmark-rate source before treating a risk definition as decision-ready. Use Market Risk for the broader branch, then move to the narrower page when a metric, exposure, contract, model, limit, or control owns the evidence. Related context often appears in Trading, Benchmark Rates, and Financial Instruments, but this page keeps the focus on risk evidence rather than product promotion or generic uncertainty.

Key Takeaways

  • Interest Rate, Repricing, and Reinvestment Risk should identify the exposure, owner, horizon, and consequence, not just name a risk.
  • Risk terms are only useful when the measurement method, assumption, limit, hedge, control, or escalation path is visible.
  • Definitions on this site are educational; they do not determine whether a trade, product, portfolio, control, capital level, or hedge is suitable.

Example in Use

A short-duration asset can still create reinvestment risk if cash flows must be reinvested at lower future rates.

What to Check

  • Source record: confirm the yield curve, repricing schedule, duration report, maturity ladder, coupon reset terms, funding agreement, and benchmark-rate source.
  • Measurement method: identify the horizon, confidence level, scenario, model, benchmark, or accounting basis used.
  • Control owner: name the team, committee, policy, covenant, or rule that can act on the risk.
  • Decision impact: ask whether the term changes pricing, limits, capital, liquidity, hedging, disclosure, escalation, or risk acceptance.

Common Mistakes

  • Equating maturity with duration.
  • Ignoring reset dates and optionality.
  • Using one rate scenario without testing parallel and nonparallel changes.
