A number of episodes of financial market distress have at the heart of them a sudden and drastic reduction in market liquidity, characterized by disorderly adjustments in asset prices, a sharp increase in the costs of executing transactions and, in the most acute cases, a “seizing up” of markets. What to do? Part of the problem of liquidity is its abstract nature. Dr. Sorina Zahan outlines the 'Anatomy of Liquidity Risk', and Karen Schenone describes how ETFs affect and reflect liquidity. In the following Q&A session, we'll discuss hedges, metrics and strategies for liquidity.
