agree  Victor Potapov: Right, risk-free is "the floor" - lowest rate of return (obviously - since no risks are involved). More risky investments (e.g. equities) must have higher returns to compensate for risk (but for the past 1-2 years this risk premium has been going down)

agree  James Girard: But, that is a totally misleading sentence. One which lacks much definition. 'Risk-free' is what it means. I have no idea what the rest means.

  -> I also had to read this sentence several times, but I don't think I managed to understand the full meaning of it. It's a bit vague and misleading.
