• Key Concepts: 
  Haircut is a term used in the FS-LRM Liquidity and Risk Management component of SAP. It is a risk management tool that helps to reduce the risk of a company’s investments by setting a limit on the amount of money that can be invested in any one asset. The haircut is calculated as a percentage of the total value of the asset and is used to ensure that the company does not invest too much in any one asset. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The haircut is set by the company and can be adjusted depending on the level of risk they are willing to take. The higher the haircut, the lower the risk, but also the lower the potential return on investment. The haircut can be set for individual assets or for an entire portfolio. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting a haircut, it is important to consider both the level of risk and potential return on investment. A higher haircut will reduce risk but may also reduce potential returns. It is important to find a balance between risk and return when setting a haircut.
