Liquidity Risk

Systemic Liquidation Risk and the Diversity-Diversi?cation Trade-o? WOLF WAGNER? ABSTRACT This paper proposes a portfolio choice model in which investors are outcome to liquidation risk and (endogenously) face higher costs in the event of enunciate liquidation (as was observed during the crisis of 2008 to 2009). The risk of joint liquidation creates an incentive for investors to choose heterogeneous portfolios and to rationally prey diversi?cation bene?ts. Joint liquidation risk is also re?ected in asset prices, resulting in i) assets with high idiosyncratic risk having small-scale pass judgment returns, and ii) assets that display high correlation with the portfolios of (liquidation-prone) investors having high expected returns.
