LIQUIDITY RISK
The probability of loss that comes from the difficulty of selling an asset or investment instrument that cannot be bought or sold easily to avoid or minimize the loss. Some assets are highly liquid and have low liquidity risk, while other instruments are highly illiquid and have high liquidity risk. It is usually mirrored in wide bid-ask spreads or huge price movement, especially the downward movement. The rule of thumb is the smaller the size of the security or issuer, the bigger the liquidity risk is.
