Model Insight - The MSCI Bond Liquidity Measure (BLM) - Sep. 2012
Sep 28, 2012
This Model Insight introduces the MSCI Bond Liquidity Measure (BLM), a model-based estimate of bond bid-ask spreads for a broad universe of quoted and non-quoted bonds. The BLM provides both a liquidity scoring metric and a way to quantify potential transaction costs. Applications of BLM include portfolio construction, risk control, risk limits, regulatory compliance, and liquidity provisioning. Furthermore, BLM opens the way for the consistent assessment of liquidity across multi-asset class portfolios.
