Arbitrage Strategies
Study temporary dislocations across venues, instruments, and maturities while accounting for costs and execution risk.
Core idea
Arbitrage strategies trade related instruments when their prices, funding terms, or conversion relationships diverge. Real implementations are rarely risk-free because execution, financing, settlement, and model assumptions can fail.
Implementation
The observed gap must exceed fees, financing, latency, and the cost of holding both legs.
Primary risk
A visible spread can persist or widen while capital, liquidity, or settlement capacity becomes constrained.
