Cross-Asset Trading

Definition

Cross-asset trading involves the simultaneous buying and selling of financial instruments across different asset classes. This practice leverages interdependencies between markets to construct complex investment strategies or hedge against risk. Such strategies often exploit price discrepancies or correlations that emerge between distinct asset types, such as equities, bonds, commodities, and digital assets. The objective is to achieve a desired risk-return profile that might be unattainable through single-asset transactions.
