This paper proposes an intuitive and flexible framework to quantify liquidation risk for financial institutions. We develop a model where the “fundamental” dynamics of assets is modified by price impacts from fund liquidations. We characterize mathematically the liquidation schedule of financial institutions and study in detail the fire sales resulting endogenously from margin constraints when a financial institution trades through an exchange. Our study enables to obtain tractable formulas for the value at risk and expected shortfall of a financial institution in the presence of fund liquidation. In particular, we find an additive decomposition for liquidation-adjusted risk measures. We show that such a measure can be expressed as a “fundamental” risk measure plus a liquidation risk adjustment that is proportional to the size of fund positions as a fraction of asset market depths. Our results can be used by risk managers in financial institutions to tackle liquidity events arising from fund liquidations better and adjust their portfolio allocations to liquidation risk more accurately.

This study aims to apply value at risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) as time-varying systematic and idiosyncratic risk factors to address the downside risk anomaly of various asset pricing models currently existing in the Pakistan stock exchange. The study analyses the significance of high minus low VaR and ES portfolios as a systematic risk factor in one factor, three-factor, and five-factor asset pricing model. Furthermore, the study introduced the six-factor model, deploying VaR and ES as the idiosyncratic risk factor. The theoretical and empirical alteration of traditional asset pricing models is the study’s contributions. This study reported a strong positive relationship of traditional market beta, value at risk, and expected shortfall. Market beta pertains its superiority in estimating the time-varying stock returns. Furthermore, value at risk and expected shortfall strengthen the effects of traditional beta impact on stock returns, signifying the proposed six-factor asset pricing model. Investment and profitability factors are redundant in conventional asset pricing models.

Stock investment is a commitment to a number of funds in marketable securities which shows proof of ownership of a company with the aim of obtaining profits in the future. For obtaining optimal returns from stock investments, investors are expected to form optimal portfolios. The optimal portfolio formation using the Single Index Model is based on the observation that a stock fluctuates in the direction of the market price. It shows that most stocks tend to experience price increases if the market share price rises, and vice versa. Selection of optimal portfolio-forming stocks on IDX30 using the Single Index Model method produces 4 stocks, that are BRPT (Barito Pacific Tbk.) with weight 31.134%, ICBP (Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur Tbk.) 17.138%, BBCA (Bank Central Asia Tbk.) 51.331% and SMGR (Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk.) 0.397%. Every investment must have a risk, for that investors need to calculate the possible risks that occur before investing. To calculate risk, Expected Shortfall (ES) is used as a measure of risk that is better than Value at Risk (VaR) because ES fulfill the subadditivity. At the 95% confidence level, the ES value is 23.063% while the VaR value is 10.829%. This means that the biggest possible risk that an optimal portfolio investor will receive using the Single Index Model for the next five weeks is 23.063%.Keywords : Portfolio, Single Index Model, Expected Shortfall, Value at Risk.
