The Benefits of System Diversification

System diversification in trend following involves applying multiple trend following systems to a single market, resulting in different return streams that offer correlation offsets and reduce overall volatility. By having an ensemble of uniquely configured systems, the ensemble breaks down correlation properties and decreases the impact of selection bias. This approach improves the ability to capture outliers and increases the chances of capitalizing on diverse future trends, as the ensemble can adapt to different market environments.
