In this perspective, the paper aims: a) to compare the Liquidity Adjusted VaR methodologies and b) to apply the Meucci model's on equity securities portfolio to measure the market liquidity risk and pure market risk in the presence of different levels of diversification, liquidity strategies, market's periods.
