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. Misprice identification. For all the four given trading opportunities, you will have to perform the necessary calculations in order to identify a mispricing in one of them. Arbitrage strategy. You will have to describe the strategy that you can pursue to make a risk-free profit. You will have to explain why you have chosen a particular strategy, the asset(s) and derivative(s) to trade in the investment that needs to be made at present time, and what will happen to the portfolios at the maturity date (final time) 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).
