Pricing Illiquid Assets
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper investigates the portfolio allocation decisions of an investor with infinite horizon when available financial assets differ in their degrees of liquidity. A model with risk neutral agents allows us to endogenously determine the liquidity premium. With risk averse agents, we develop a nontrivial portfolio allocation problem, which enables us to calculate the demand for an illiquid asset for any given yield premium. We calibrate and numerically simulate both models. Reasonable parameter values imply a liquidity premium of 1.7% for the risk neutral case. In the portfolio allocation problem we find that a reasonable amount of illiquidity can cause a substantial drop of demand for the asset. We are also able to calculate the price discount at which an agent would be indifferent between immediate sale and waiting for a buyer with a fundamentally justified price.

The vast majority of these studies have been focused on fairly liquid assets, but recently a greater attempt to price such an important component of the asset pricing factors in markets with high illiquidity (especially in real estate) has also started to take place. The ...
متن کاملWhere Experience Matters: Asset Allocation and Asset Pricing with Opaque and Illiquid Assets∗
Alternative assets, such as private equity, hedge funds, and real assets, are illiquid and opaque, and thus pose a challenge to traditional models of asset allocation. In this paper, we study asset allocation and asset pricing in a generalequilibrium model with liquid assets and an alternative risky asset, which is opaque and incurs transaction costs, and investors who differ in their experienc...
متن کاملFlight to Quality, Flight to Liquidity, and the Pricing of Risk
We propose a dynamic equilibrium model of a multi-asset market with stochastic volatility and transaction costs. Our key assumption is that investors are fund managers, subject to withdrawals when fund performance falls below a threshold. This generates a preference for liquidity that is time-varying and increasing with volatility. We show that during volatile times, assets’ liquidity premia in...
