It’s Prime Time for Trend-Following Strategies as Macro Divergence Continues

In this article for Institutional Investor we discuss whether it is prime time for trend following with the return to normality and resulting dispersion and divergence, the concept of ‘unpredictability alpha’, the importance of exposure to commodities and financials and how trend following can be deployed as part of growth and defensive portfolios.

In such a scenarios, investors are in a never-ending quest for meaningful diversification to the traditional 60/40 portfolio.

P&I: CTAs capture unpredictability alpha
