medium · Quantitative Finance

In the Almgren-Chriss framework for optimal execution, a trader with a high degree of risk aversion will choose a trading trajectory that is most likely to:

  1. Back-load the execution schedule to take advantage of later liquidity.
  2. Only execute at the closing bell to match the daily benchmark.
  3. Execute the trade at a perfectly constant rate (TWAP) throughout the day.
  4. Front-load the execution schedule by trading more aggressively at the start.
