We analyse the demand for hedging and insurance by a firm that faces liquidity risk. The firm's optimal liquidity … reserves exceed this threshold. We study how this liquidity management policy interacts with two types of risk: a Brownian risk … that can be hedged through a financial derivative, and a Poisson risk that can be insured by an insurance contract. We find …
