Abstract: Abstract: Can merger arbitrage, which is a proven efficient investment strategy, also be used in Chinese stock market? Based on all the 33 tender offers in China stock market for the period between 2003 and 2008, we set up an investment portfolio including 8 active deals and explore the performance of several risk arbitrage strategies. Our results reveal that fixed term strategy is better than holding expiry strategy; strategy of opening position at raising limit is better than strategy of opening position at closing price; strategy of opening position on the day of abstract announcement is better on the day of full-text announcement; and suitable arbitrage strategy can get abnormal return in China stock market.
