Learning objective: Explain and calculate liquidity trading risk via cost of liquidation and liquidity-adjusted VaR (LVaR).
Questions:
20.2.1. A portfolio holds 100,000 shares of a stock and this single position has a value of $3.0 million. The stock is quoted bid $29.00, offer $31.00. The stock's daily volatility is 1.43% or 143 basis points. For purposes of value at risk (VaR), we will assume the stock's arithmetic returns are normally distributed (aka, normal VaR) and the expected daily return rounds to zero (under these assumptions absolute VaR is identical to relative VaR). Which is NEAREST to the position's one-day 99.0% confident liquidity-adjusted value at risk (LVaR)?
a. $15,000
b. $80,000
c. $200,000
d. $1.0 million
20.2.2. A position with a value of $2.0 million consists of 50,000 shares of stock. The stock is quoted bid $39.00, offer $41.00. The bid-offer spread has a volatility of 2.0%. The stock's daily volatility is 2.00% or 200 basis points. For purposes of value at risk (VaR), assume the stock's arithmetic returns are normally distributed (aka, normal VaR) and the expected daily return rounds to zero (under these assumptions absolute VaR is identical to relative VaR). We want to measure the cost of liquidity under stressed market conditions; aka, we will assume a worst-case volatile spread rather than a static spread. Which is NEAREST to the position's one-day 95.0% confident liquidity-adjusted value at risk (LVaR)? (Please assume a rounded normal deviate of 1.65).
a. $76,300
b. $149,000
c. $318,000
d. $755,000
20.2.3. A position with a value of $1.0 million consists of 50,000 shares of an asset. The asset is quoted bid $19.00, offer $21.00. The asset has an expected return of 14.0% per annual and an annual volatility of 26.0%. We are interested in the lognormal value at risk (aka, lognormal VaR) over a one-year horizon; that is, we assume geometric returns are normally distributed. If our confidence level is 95.0%, which is NEAREST to the one-year liquidity-adjusted lognormal VaR (LVaR)?
a. $100,000
b. $200,000
c. $300,000
d. $400,000
