Inside the Mind Of A Successful Trend Follower: Doug Greenig | #548
Today’s guest is Doug Greenig, CEO & CIO of Florin Court Capital, which uses systematic trend-following in over 500 markets. Doug’s been involved in markets for over 30 years and was most recently at Man AHL as the Chief Risk Officer and Head of the Portfolio Management Group. In today’s episode, Doug explains why we’re living in a world made for trend following. He explains his unique approach to trend following and the benefits of expanding the number of markets traded, including esoteric ones like California carbon emissions and Turkish interest rate swaps. Doug also touches on the macro backdrop - characterized by deep structural change and tail risks, including intensifying geopolitical conflict and US fiscal instability.
Key Points
- Trend following can be highly effective in markets where fundamental value is elusive and volatility is common.
- Diversifying across numerous and often esoteric markets can significantly enhance risk-adjusted returns due to lower correlations and unique opportunities.
- Operational challenges and limited capacity are major hurdles in expanding into new markets, but overcoming them can offer substantial benefits in trend following strategies.
