2/ Motivations If you don’t care why we’re giving away a systematic strategy that beats beta, for free— skip to the next. I believe that a basic trend program stacked on beta is one of *the most* defensible things you can do as an investor. It’s intuitive, empirically backed, and largely suits most investor psychology. BUT I think there are a huge number of people— both in mid-tier institutional and retail strategist settings that are effectively using trend to “move money from the clients pocket into their pocket”. The playbook is simple— you trend follow, but then shroud you trend following in all kinds of marketing and fancy analysis. “Long term fundamental views, with technical execution” is a phrase used and it an often (not always) a tell. This means there are two parts to the return stream offered by the strategist/manager: the long term view part and the trend following part. For most— the trend will dominate the execution, views and performance. The long-term part rarely has edge. Our objective with making this portfolio free is to share the trend following part with total transparency— so you can judge. Additionally, we think the barriers to entry to trend following are near zero. As such, we think the price to replicate it in a DIY way should also be zero. The hope here is that people get a good benchmark to measure market strategy, while also providing a Portoflio solutions that’s accessible and easy to follow for anyone with a brokerage account.
