Barclay Fixed Income Arbitrage Index
The fixed income arbitrageur aims
to profit from price anomalies between related interest rate
securities. Most managers trade globally with a goal of generating
steady returns with low volatility. This category includes
interest rate swap arbitrage, US and non-US government bond
arbitrage and forward yield curve arbitrage.
The Barclay Fixed Income Arbitrage Index is recalculated
and updated real-time on this page as soon as the monthly returns
for the underlying funds are recorded. The number
of funds that are currently included in the calculations for
the most recent months can be found in the footnotes below.
Please note that the calculation for the number of funds is
time-stamped and that the number of funds will continue to
increase until all funds categorized within the sector have
reported monthly returns.
