a Arbitrage is a key concept in financial mathematics. In this project, you are expected to consider some financial trading opportunities and identify, from the given data set, a mispricing that can lead in turn to an arbitrage opportunity. Then you will have to report a corresponding arbitrage strategy for returning a risk-free profit and estimate the magnitude for the expected profit, both in written and in oral form. 3 Data A trader has access to the following four investment opportunities. One of them features a significant misprice that needs to be identified. Once identified, an arbitrage strategy can be devised to make a risk-free profit (see below for further guidance). The trader also has access to bonds at the UK market interest rate at 0.67%.
