Our contribution is synthesizing these fields into a unified Transstock framework, emphasizing dynamic hedging and partial transition rather than full arbitrage closure. We identify three primary strategies:
| Strategy | Core Mechanism | Primary Risk | Typical Holding Period | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Long undervalued listing, short overvalued listing of same firm | Regulatory change (e.g., delisting) | Days to weeks | | Synthetic Equity Transition | Gradually swap one listing for another using algorithmic execution | Execution slippage | Hours to days | | Geopolitical Hedging | Maintain exposure to a sector via a transstock pair to offset country-specific risk | Currency mismatch | Months | 3.1 Regulatory Arbitrage Transstock Exploits price gaps caused by index inclusion rules or tax treatments (e.g., withholding tax differences on Swiss vs. UK listings). 3.2 Synthetic Equity Transition Designed for fund managers who wish to change their benchmark exposure without trading the underlying economy. Example: Selling a German-listed ADR and buying the Frankfurt native share while hedging currency. 3.3 Geopolitical Hedging A long-short pair where the investor goes long on a Chinese H-share and short on the same firm’s US-listed ADR to neutralize company-specific risk while betting on a narrowing of the geopolitical discount. 4. Methodology Data Sample: Daily closing prices for 25 dual-listed European firms (2019–2025) from Refinitiv. Listings included London, Frankfurt, Euronext, and NYSE ADRs. transstock beleggingsstrategieën
