Arbitrage is a financial strategy that involves taking advantage of price differences for the same asset across different markets. When a price discrepancy arises between two markets, an arbitrageur can buy the asset at a lower price in one market and simultaneously sell it at a higher price in another, thereby locking in a risk-free profit. In the JAIIB AFM module, the topic of arbitrage covers various types, from basic forms of arbitrage to more complex strategies used by financial institutions.
