managers maintain long and short positions in equity and

net-market exposure which means that shorts and longs
have equal market value.

from stock selection.
• This strategy has a lower risk than the above strategy
but at the same time the expected returns are also lower.

merging companies are simultaneously bought and
sold to create a riskless profit.
• This particular hedge fund strategy looks at the risk
that the merger deal will not close on time, or at all.

company's stock will sell at a discount to the price
that the combined entity will have when the merger
is done.
• This difference is the arbitrageur's profit.
