The strategy seeks to identify two companies with common characteristics (e.g. Coke and Pepsi) whose prices are trading out of line with each other–trading outside of their historical trading range.

CONT

Les stratégies que nous employons normalement et qui concernent les fonds de couverture comprennent généralement l'arbitrage, c'est-à-dire le fait de vendre une entreprise faible dans une certaine industrie et d'acheter une entreprise forte dans la même industrie. C'est ce qu'on appelle les transactions par paires.
