INTRODUCTION
High Street Global Advisors, a global investment management organization is trying to understand the opportunities presented by the Royal Dutch/Shell pricing discrepancy. This case analyzes the benefits of shares of two twin companies Royal Dutch and Shell. Royal Dutch trades are more actively in the Netherlands and U.S. markets, whereas Shell trades are more actively in the United States. They are getting price benefit mainly from arbitrage opportunities arising from daily stock price difference between the prices of twin equities that cross-listed in different European stock markets. For example, a U.S. (Dutch) investor can buy Royal Dutch and Shell in New York (Amsterdam).
