# Maximum leverage
Securd leverages on the value at risk and equivalently the VeV to define the liquidation threshold which in turn determines the maximum leverage ratio. [Therefore, for each grade, a maximum leverage ratio is computed](#user-content-fn-1)[^1] :
| Grade | Max Leverage |
|---|
| AAA | 20 |
| AA | 18 |
| A | 16 |
| BBB | 12 |
| BB | 8 |
| B | 4 |
*Table 9: Maximum leverage ratio with respect to grade.*
[^1]: The results has been rounded up or down for harmonization purposes.
