Core Insights - Selecting an appropriate ETF arbitrage strategy is crucial for individual investors, considering factors such as capital strength, risk tolerance, professional knowledge, time commitment, and arbitrage space size [1][3]. Group 1: Factors to Consider - Capital strength is essential; strategies like premium-discount arbitrage and cash-futures arbitrage require significant funds, while intraday swing arbitrage and event-driven arbitrage are more suitable for investors with limited capital [1]. - Risk tolerance plays a key role; intraday swing and event-driven arbitrage involve higher risks, while premium-discount and cash-futures arbitrage are more controllable for conservative investors [1]. - Professional knowledge is necessary for premium-discount and cash-futures arbitrage, as they require price trend predictions and basis analysis, making intraday swing and event-driven arbitrage preferable for non-professionals [1]. - Time commitment is a factor; intraday swing arbitrage demands real-time market observation, while event-driven arbitrage requires ongoing information monitoring. Premium-discount arbitrage is more suitable for those with limited time, needing only to track secondary market prices and net asset values [1]. - The size of the arbitrage space is important; selecting ETFs with significant premium-discount effects and low tracking errors can yield higher returns [1]. Group 2: Tools and Strategies - Utilizing quantitative trading tools can significantly reduce the difficulty of arbitrage trading and enhance efficiency [2].
