Unsystematic Risk
Liquidity risk is generally NOT a major concern for:
Exchange-listed = liquid. Private placements, LPs, real estate = illiquid.

Exchange-listed securities trade on public markets with many buyers and sellers, providing high liquidity. Investors can typically buy or sell quickly at prices close to the quoted market price. Other investments like real estate, private placements, and LPs have limited secondary markets.

Real estate is illiquid and takes time to sell.
Private placements have restricted transferability and limited buyers.
Matches the verified teaching point in the explanation.
Limited partnership interests are illiquid with no active secondary market.
