Risk Adjustment
Risk adjustment is the process of modifying the value or requirement of an asset to account for its riskiness. This is what brokers do when they set haircuts or margin requirements.
High-risk assets are adjusted heavily to ensure the broker remains protected. It is a fundamental method of ensuring financial stability in a leveraged environment.
