Risk-Adjusted Discount Rate
Definition
A discount rate that incorporates a premium reflecting the specific risks associated with a particular asset, cash flow stream, or investment. In intangible asset valuations, risk-adjusted discount rates are typically higher than the weighted average cost of capital to reflect the greater uncertainty inherent in intangible asset cash flows compared to tangible assets.
