Series 50: Liquidity Risk

Taken from our Series 50 Online Guide

Liquidity Risk

This is the risk that investors may have difficulty finding a buyer when they want to sell and may be forced to sell at a discount to market value. Securities with high liquidity risk may be thinly traded for a variety of reasons. In the secondary market for municipal bonds, the securities are typically the most liquid during the period immediately after issuance, after which trading volume quickly trails off.
