For example, if a security is priced higher in the U.S. than in the U.K. then a savvy investor - with international connections - can purchase the securities overseas to sell them at a profit in North America. This process is common when dealing with hedge funds and other small private investment groups. A more relevant example would be a '''Merger Arbitrage''' or risk arbitrage in which an investor buys the stock of a company that will be subject to a takeover whilst '''shorting''' the stock of the acquiring corporation.
