convertible arbitrage

Definition

Trading strategy in which a long position is established by purchasing an undervalued convertible security (bond or preferred stock) and is hedged by establishing a short position in the underlying stock for which the convertible security is exchangeable. Its objective is to profit from the relative pricing inefficiencies between the underlying stock and the convertible security. Also called convertible hedge.
