Abstract

Market liquidity is complex to measure empirically. This explains why there is no consensus about performance ratios adjusted to its risk. We summarize market liquidity by two major characteristics: a costly one because of the loss of the illiquidity premium; and a profitable one when investors can withdraw when they want. In this paper, three new performance indicators are proposed to integrate, to a certain extent, market liquidity risk, especially for hedge funds investment: liquidity-loss ratio will capture the cost characteristic whereas liquidity-Sharpe ratio and liquidity-profit ratio will represent the profitable alternative. These new ratios try to be simple and precise enough to help investors choose between hedge funds strategies according to their liquidity profile: do they want to capture illiquidity risk premium, or do they want to be free to withdraw?
