When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

arbitrage opportunities

Arbitrage does not mean arbitration in this answer. Arbitrage means the buying or selling of stocks or bills of exchange in order to take advantage of varying prices in different markets. The broker is asking the capital investments company about opportunities for arbitrage, i.e. whether they can handle trading for them in arbitrage deals. I am not sure you are clear that this is my meaning.

And essentially my meaning agrees with Chris except that I would add opportunities as the translation of mogelijkheden. I do not understand how a broker customer would be asking a capital investment company about arbitration which is essentially official mediation. Such services are legal services and not investment services. Jarry, I fail to understand your comment.

Chris Hopley
: See meaning no. 3 of 'arbitrage' in 'Dikke Van Dale'; seems more likely than 'arbitration' given the investment context.

jarry (X)
: Given that "arbitrage" refers to queries from customers I think this (and not 'arbitrage') is the right answer

Textpertise
: See my comment to Jarry on my own answer. Arbitration is a specialised legal dispute resolution service. Unless the broker is acting as a legal expert, most unlikely.

Kitty Brussaard
: Het lijkt vooral gebruikelijk dat brokers/investment companies hun klanten vooraf vragen akkoord te gaan met een 'arbitration clause' of 'arbitration provision' zodat eventuele geschillen alleen via (bindende) arbitrage kunnen worden opgelost.

: Arbitration is about settling a dispute. Arbitrage is about exploiting exchange rate differences to one's advantage.

abritrage
-> "In economics and finance, arbitrage is the practice of taking advantage of a price differential between two or more markets: striking a combination of matching deals that capitalize upon the imbalance, the profit being the difference between the market prices."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbitrage
-> "How arbitrage works
In general, arbitrage opportunities can exist whenever there are at least two different markets in which a particular good is offered for trade. Unless the prices in each market remain exactly the same at all times, alert investors can exploit any discrepancy in price."
http://www.fool.com/investing/value/2007/03/07/profit-from-a...
-> "Arbitrage in economische zin is het profiteren van de prijsverschillen tussen verschillende aan elkaar gerelateerde effecten. Door het combineren van een aantal transacties kan men profiteren van een onevenwichtigheid op verschillende markten. Dit houdt in dat men in geen enkel scenario een verlies op kan lopen, terwijl men wel kans heeft op winst in sommige scenario's. Men spreekt ook wel van risico-vrij winst. De term arbitrage heeft voornamelijk betrekking op financiële instrumenten zoals opties, aandelen, obligaties, valuta's en commodities. Een handelaar die profiteert van prijsverschillen heet een arbitrageant."

jarry (X)
: I don't think 'arbitrage' is appropriate here since the questions refers to queries on the part of customers.

Thanks for your comment. With such little context to go on, it is of course wide open to interpretation!
