How Hedge Funds Are Betting on Risk-Free Arbitrage

Episode 6 of The Hedge Fund Podcast: Lucas and Luna explore the quiet rise of basis trades inside the Treasury market — a strategy that has exploded from the fringes to the core of many hedge fund books. With the Fed holding rates flat at 3.64 percent and the ten-year Treasury offering near 4.5 percent, funds are borrowing cheap overnight money to buy longer-dated government bonds, pocketing the spread. Lucas breaks down why this 'risk-free arbitrage' is suddenly so popular, citing the surge in Treasury issuance and the stabilizing volatility environment. Luna pushes on the risks: what happens if the Fed reverses course or liquidity dries up? The episode closes with a look at what this means for the broader bond market narrative. #HedgeFund #BasisTrade #TreasuryArbitrage #FedPolicy #BondMarket #RiskFreeArbitrage #Liquidity #CarryTrade #InvestmentStrategy #Finance #WallStreet #PortfolioManagement #FixedIncome #InstitutionalInvesting #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #AlternativeInvestments Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
