School/Professur:

"Measuring" and "managing" market risk has been the cornerstone of financial risk management. In contrast, other risks that market participants are exposed to such as liquidity risk and complexity have received far less attention from academics and practitioners alike. As the recent financial crisis has illustrated these risks are poorly understood and tend to be compounded in unpredictable ways by the use of balance sheet leverage.

Kostas Iordanidis' lecture relates to questions like how much do we really know about market liquidity, how does funding liquidity interact with market liquidity in periods of crises and what are the implications for investors that use leverage and invest in complex financial instruments.
