Risk-Weighted Assets What Does Risk-Weighted Assets Mean? The minimum amount of capital that is required within banks and other institutions, based on a percentage of the assets, weighted by risk. Investopedia explains Risk-Weighted Assets The idea behind risk-weighted assets is to move away from having a static requirement for capital. Instead, it is based on the riskiness of a bank's assets. For example, loans that are secured by a letter of credit are considered riskier than a mortgage loan that is secured with collateral. Related Terms: How to thank TFD for its existence?
