DELIVERY RISK
The risk that a counterparty in a transaction may not be able to fulfill its side of the agreement by failing to deliver the underlying asset or the cash value of the contract.
Also called settlement risk.
In the foreign exchange context, delivery risk is also known as Herstatt risk, after the small German bank that failed to cover due obligations.
