Arbitrage is a fundamental concept in finance, playing a crucial role in determining prices for assets like currencies, stocks, and much more. It refers to the simultaneous buying and selling of an asset in different markets to profit from any price differences. Many economic models presume these opportunities for profiting shouldn’t exist—and yet many make a living by exploiting these discrepancies.

Origination is the multi-step process that every individual must go through to obtain a mortgage or home loan. The term also applies to other types of amortized personal loans. Origination is often a lengthy process and a loan origination fee, is intended to compensate the lender for the work involved in the process.

A hedge fund is a limited partnership of private investors whose money is pooled and managed by professional fund managers. These managers use a wide range of strategies, including leverage (borrowed money) and the trading of nontraditional assets, to achieve positive investment returns.

An activist investor, typically a specialized hedge fund, buys a significant minority stake in a publicly traded company in order to change how it is run. The activist investor’s goals may be as modest as advising company management or as ambitious as forcing the sale of the company, divestitures or restructuring, or replacing the board of directors.

Mezzanine financing is a hybrid of debt and equity financing that gives a lender the right to convert debt to an equity interest in a company in case of default, generally after venture capital companies and other senior lenders are paid. In terms of risk, it exists between senior debt and equity.

Going public refers to the process by which a private company offers its shares to the public for the first time, transitioning into a publicly traded company. This event is referred to as an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and allows the company to raise capital from public investors, facilitating expansion, debt repayment, or other corporate purposes.

Direct real estate investing involves buying a stake in a specific property. This is done via either a debt or equity investment. With a debt investment, you are taking part in the lending of capital required to develop or purchase a property. While with an equity investment, you are purchasing an ownership stake in the property. You will share in the profits (e.g., dividends), and the value of your ownership stake will increase if the property performs well.
