T-Bills may be considered Nominal Risk Free, but there is still a risk that
the real return could be negative. When Inflation is high, there is still risk
in the risk free rate because if inflation is higher than the T-Bill rate, you
can loose purchasing power. Default and interest rate risk are low, but
inflation risk can be high.

T-Bills may be considered Nominal Risk Free, nut there is still a risk
the real return could be negative. When Inflation is high, there is stil
in the risk free rate because if inflation is higher than the T-Bill rate,
can loose purchasing power. Default and interest rate risk are low,
inflation risk can be high.

The statement that T-bills have no risk refers to the fact that there is
an extremely small chance of the government defaulting, so there is
default risk. Since T-bills are short term, there is also very limited int
rate risk. However, as this example shows, there is inflation risk, i.e
purchasing power of the investment can actually decline over time e
the investor is earning a positive nominal return.
