Interest Rate Risk Measurement and Management

Interest rate risk is a risk that arises due to fluctuation in interest rates. These interest rate risks control the value of fixed-return assets. Interest rates and the value of investments have an indirect relationship. When interest rates increase, the price of bonds or investments falls. Short-term investments carry lower risk than long-term investments as they have a short maturity period.
