Innovative Investment Strategies and Return Stacking

Today we spoke with Corey Hoffstein, a well-known market practitioner with a deep and broad knowledge across quantitative trading & trend following, but also across developing investment products for wider advisor distribution. I’m super interested in almost every aspect of the financial markets, because I feel like a broad and generalist knowledge helps me make better trading and business decisions. Corey hits the nail on the head when he says that a given industry participant may be making optimal business decisions which are sub-optimal trading decisions.

If we are aware of this kind of behaviour, it can help shape the way we trade. More than that, understanding market participants, infrastructure, technology, business motivations, and so on, is critical to effective trading. At a basic level, this would include knowing the exact differences between the execution of a market versus a limit order for example. It builds from there, but the point is, it doesn’t hurt you to gain more and more knowledge of how the markets ‘actually work’.
