Can trend-following CTAs, with estimated total assets under management of $300bn, impact the markets in which they trade?
 
In this note, we quantify the footprint, or market participation, of the trend-following industry as a whole in terms of the proportion of directional traded volume and open interest in a systematic and well-defined framework and provide some perspective and answers to this question.

Why have trend models stood the test of time?

In the most recent HedgeNordic Special Report, Nicolas Mirjolet, CEO and Co-Head of Research, explains why #trendfollowing strategies deliver returns that are regime-agnostic and can perform well independent of the economic macro environment.

In our new report, we quantify the potential portfolio diversification benefits of trend-following in the longer-term context while catering to the diversity of investor portfolios through extensive simulation studies. We show that these diversification benefits are mostly insensitive to the following three key factors:
 
    1. the existing risk allocation of the investor's portfolio
    2. the timing of the investment in trend-following, and
    3. expectations about future trend-following performance.

As a result, our findings suggest that a sizable allocation to trend-following is sensible for most investors and market scenarios.

What drives a trend-follower's trading activity?
 
In this report, we show that not only changes in individual market trend signals, but also changes in instrument and portfolio risk play a key role in determining the trading activity of a trend-follower.
 
We take a closer look at the relative contribution of these three factors between January and March 2022, and show that at times, risk-management factors, and not trend signals, may account for more than half of a typical trend-follower’s portfolio turnover.

Why does a #trendfollower hold on to trading markets that have not shown a profitable trend opportunity in 15 years?
 
In this latest publication, we outline why focusing exclusively on the instruments that have exhibited the best tradable trends in the past may in fact not lead to superior #trendfollowing returns in the future. We show that maximizing instrument and asset-class diversification remains the best way to capture the most profitable trends reliably and successfully across markets and time.
