Sub Index - Trend

Managers in this cohort employ systematic investment processes designed to capture price momentum across asset classes using highly liquid instruments (futures, forwards, etc). Market trends are identified using a variety of momentum factors, with price and its derivative the most prevalent. While exposure to directional price momentum dominates (at least 70-80% of risk), in many instances this is complemented by a smaller allocation to other non-price based technical signals which frequently act as a risk-mitigation tool. More generally, managers have a wide range of dimensions by which they are able to differentiate themselves: lookback horizon (medium-term trend following, 2-4 months, remains the preferred option), investment universe, instruments traded (financials only, commodities, etc), portfolio construction and risk modulation techniques, and the volatility target.
