Fixed-Income Arbitrage

An arbitrage strategy in which one seeks to profit from small differences in interest rates between two bonds or other fixed-income securities that are otherwise essentially the same. One conducts this by taking opposite positions in the two securities. Fixed-income arbitrage rarely results in a large profit and can be quite risky. As a result, many analysts advise against using it.
