Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Treasury bills are considered the least risky investment because they are backed by the U.S. government and have a short-term maturity of less than one year. This means there is a lower risk of default and the investment can be easily liquidated if needed. Corporate bonds and U.S. agency issues have a slightly higher risk because they are not backed by the government, while Treasury bonds have a longer maturity and are therefore more susceptible to interest rate fluctuations.
