Abstract

We develop measures of certain kinds of liquidity trading risk that is useful for completing the definition of market risk and for predicting liquidity-adjusted VaR (L-VaR) under illiquid market conditions. We argue that asset liquidity risk associated with the uncertainty of liquidating multiple-asset portfolios over a given holding period is a key factor in the computation of a credible risk-capital allocations in financial trading units.
