Fire sales is the forced sale of assets in lower prices than their actual value, because the sellers need to raise fast cash in order to pay their liabilities and the borrowers do not have the mandatory information or expertise to evaluate the assets correctly.

The stress tests on the assets side of the AIFs’ balance sheets evaluate the asset liquidity risk and they simulate the worsening of asset liquidity due to worse market conditions, independently of other factors such as redemption requests. These tests will help the AIMFs to measure the cost of liquidation and the time to liquidity, to employ historical (e.g. internet/dotcom crisis 2000/2001, terrorist attacks and the Crisis of 2007–2009) and hypothetical scenarios (e.g. increase of interest rates or market volatility) and to overcome limitations on data availability. On the other hand, stress tests on the liabilities side of the balance sheet require the simulation of reduced liquidity because of redemption requests. The testing should simulate normal (e.g. average redemption requests and long time to meet the requests) and stressed scenarios (e.g. massive redemption demands, unpredicted historical events, politics, and other hypothetical extreme scenarios) and it should incorporate investor behavior analyses. For more see: ESMA, “Consultation Paper: Guidelines on Liquidity Stress Testing in UCITS and AIFs,” 31ff.

Swing Pricing is the process of adjusting the Net Asset Value (NAV) of a fund in order to transfer an estimate of the trading cost to investors who are buying shares of the fund and redeem out of the fund on a regular basis, generating trading costs and impacting negatively the fund’s performance. Thus, long-term investors are protected.

Side pockets are created when illiquid assets of the AIF are placed into segregated accounts, creating a ring-fence from the rest of the AIF’s liquid assets. Only investors who entered the AIF at the time the side pockets were created have the right to benefit from the sale of the asset at a future stage.

In times of prosperity, low volatility, and risk aversion result in lower margins and haircuts and increased leverage. In case of a distressed period, higher volatility and risk aversion lead to higher margins and haircuts and to faster deleveraging, causing a pro-cyclical phenomenon.
