Who is an arbitrageur?
An arbitrageur is a person who engages in arbitrage, taking advantage of differences in prices of the same asset or security across different markets.
Arbitrageurs attempt to profit by buying and selling the same asset at different prices in different markets. They often use sophisticated computer programs and algorithms to quickly identify price differences and execute trades.
(Explained in detail in the video)
Example
For example, let’s say that a stock is trading at $100 on the NYSE and $105 on the LSE.
An arbitrageur could buy the stock on the NYSE for $100 and sell it on the LSE for $105, earning a profit of $5 per share.
Arbitrageurs can execute these trades quickly and often in large volumes, earning significant profits in a short amount of time.

Arbitrageur vs hedger vs speculator
It is essential to differentiate between arbitrageurs, hedgers, and speculators. While all three groups engage in trading activities, they have different motivations and goals.
Arbitrageurs help to keep prices efficient across different markets, hedgers protect themselves against price risk, and speculators help to provide liquidity and drive price discovery.
