to nitpick, neither yield outpacing costs nor PE is arbitrage. arbitrage is structurally zero-risk, while those other cases have relatively small but non-zero risk, since yield, costs, interest rates, regulations, etc. can change over the lifetime of the deal. arbitrage generally happens due to a mispricing and an opportunity to buy and sell at (approximately) the same time.
