Project Overview
"Bloomberg LQA provides a standard methodology for calculating liquidity risk across asset classes. It helps firms adopt a systematic approach to measuring and reporting liquidity risk and gives professionals across the organization access to consistent risk data."
"LQA provides risk managers, portfolio managers, traders, and compliance officers with a standard definition of liquidity and a consistent approach to measuring the expected cost of liquidation for a specific volume of securities, and a desired time horizon. It also provides a score designed to indicate security-level liquidity with respect to liquidation cost and its distributions across different volumes."

Technology
"Bloomberg LQA uses machine learning techniques, such as cluster analysis, to dynamically identify and leverage transaction data for comparable securities. The application of machine learning enables Bloomberg LQA to transcend the inherent limitations of the widely used bid/ask approach to measure liquidity risk, which can overlook important variables. By leveraging a larger set of factors, Bloomberg LQA can better assess liquidity across instruments and across time."
