Risk arbitrage

Unless otherwise defined on the stock exchange, the taking of opposing positions in shares of a takeover candidate (target company) and its prospective acquirer, potential buyer (bidder). This is considered to be an extremely risky investment strategy (due to possible defensive measures by the target company; see for Germany § 33, para. 1 WpÜG); it has become fashionable worldwide since about 1985. – See Event-Driven Fund, Concentration Price, Takeover Offer, Takeover Risk.
