Diversified Exposure Across Asset Classes
Trend following focuses on diversified exposure across asset classes to provide an uncorrelated relationship with single asset classes like stocks or bonds. The methodology encompasses not just futures, but also investments in stocks, commodities, and other liquid asset classes. This diversification allows trend following to offer an uncorrelated nature, providing a broad appeal to investors seeking non-correlated investment strategies.
