Any arb strategy requires holding reserves, so while the amount of the asset you can afford may increase by 4% per month, it's not a great business to be in if you're measuring from the start of a bear market. Same goes for a lot of stat-arb funds in the space, which are currently measuring their performance against the market, but which are significantly down YTD.
