Abstract: 
We propose a new measure of risk, based entirely on downwards moves measured using high
frequency data. Realised semivariances are shown to have important predictive qualities for
future market volatility. The theory of these new measures is spelt out, drawing on some new
results from probability theory.

Keywords: Market frictions; Quadratic variation; Realised variance; Semimartingale; Semivariance
