Spiko Cash & Carry
Spiko C&C is an arbitrage strategy designed to generate returns above the risk-free rate. It takes advantage of price discrepancies between the spot and futures markets for commodities traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
What is a cash-and-carry strategy?
Step 1:
I buy an asset — for example, a specific quantity of a commodity like oil, gold, or bitcoin — by paying the agreed price upfront, with no credit or deferred payment.
Step 2:
I simultaneously sell the same asset — in this case, the same quantity of the commodity — through a forward contract, thereby committing to deliver it at a future date for a price agreed upon today.
Result:
I am indifferent to the asset’s price movements; I simply lock in the difference between the purchase price (step 1) and the sale price (step 2) to generate a return on my cash holdings.

Please note
This strategy is only effective if the forward sale price is higher than the cash purchase price. If no asset meets this criterion, I temporarily invest my cash in Treasury bills, waiting for a favorable opportunity to arise.
