In the Almgren-Chriss optimal execution model, what is the primary consequence of a trader having very high risk aversion (λ_risk rightarrow ∞)?

  1. The trajectory will be back-loaded to capture deep late-day liquidity pools.
  2. The optimal trajectory becomes a perfectly linear TWAP execution schedule.
  3. The optimal trajectory shifts toward immediate execution to eliminate timing risk.
  4. The trader will wait until the very end of the trading day to execute so as to minimize market impact.
