SOFR
Secured Overnight Financing Rate. The benchmark overnight rate for US dollar borrowing collateralised by Treasuries, published by the New York Fed and calculated from actual transaction volume. It replaced US dollar LIBOR, which was submission-based and therefore manipulable. Floating-rate loans are now typically quoted as SOFR plus a margin, so it sets the cash cost of debt on most leveraged structures.
