Risk Arbitrage Explained
In this week’s Fast Finance lesson, learn about the three different risk arbitrage applications. Risk Arbitrage involves the buying and selling of two assets that have a correlation with each other, but are not the same asset as you would have in a risk-free arbitrage. It is a strategy that uses hedge funds and other investors in almost every financial product category including equities, fixed income, swaps, options, and foreign exchange.
