Glossary  -> Arbitrage

Arbitrage

Arbitrage is the simultaneous purchase of a security on one stock exchange and sale of the same security on another stock exchange, often in  a different country.  This is done to make a profit from the difference in prices between the two stock exchanges, due to different prices, and currency fluctuations.  The person doing the simultaneous purchase and sale is called an arbitrageur.
