Abstract: Looking into the concept of a risk-free rate we distinguish the two different streams. One takes into account a store of value in a safe investment (e.g. for pension funds or minimum provisioning via accumulation of cheap zero-risk weight assets) and another makes use of such measure as a proxy for quantification of risk. We are addressing a discrepancy between the two concepts since it creates a gap that may triggers imbalances in financial markets.

Key Words: Risk-Free Assets; Concepts of Risk-Free Assets; Risk-Free Rate; German Bund; Overnight Indexed Swap; Quantification of Risk; Imbalances in Financial Markets.
