Under-Allocating toTrend Following A BIG MISTAKE? | Systematic Investor 288

Publicado 2024-03-25
Join us for the weekly trend following update with Alan Dunne, where we discuss why 2024 is turning into an interesting year for investors with diverging signals from Central Banks. We debate the possibility of the markets entering a bubble and how the levels of interest rates could cause a refinance crisis. Alan also takes us through the history and outlook as per the newly released UBS 2024 Yearbook, uncovering what has been dominating the economy throughout history, and the reason why many investors might be missing out on potential diversification by under-allocating to trend following. Lastly, we discuss the role of hedge funds in a multi asset portfolio and the importance of constructing a portfolio that best suits the investor’s needs.

    Such an important discussion on leveraging/deleveraging an optimal portfolio and pairing higher volatility trend with equities. Individual investor here and have been mulling over what contribution of trend on a volatility basis I need paired with equities. There was mention of 1.5x the volatility of soc gen trend matched with equities. I think that’s about ~20 percent volatility. That’s tough for retail non-accredited investors. Anyways, huge fan. This pod has been a great resource for me. Appreciate other episodes raising questions on “Economic Trend” and replication views — so helpful.
