The two that are permitted are Merger arbitrage and Convertible bond arbitrage.
Merger arbitrage belongs to event-drive strategies, and it longs the target company and short acquiring company.
Convertible bond arbitrage belongs to relative value hedge fund strategies, and it longs a convertible bond and short the stock and gaining certain return.
