risk-free
Without potential loss
Risk-free describes something involving no chance of loss or harm.
In finance, risk-free typically refers to investments guaranteed by stable governments: Treasury bills are considered risk-free.
Outside finance, the term often appears in marketing to reassure hesitant buyers: Try it risk-free for 30 days.
Truly risk-free situations are rare; the term usually means very low risk rather than none at all.
