Episode notes
Trending Markets Matter For Quants
- Markets struggle to form steady trends today, causing dispersion across quant and macro fund performance.
- When trends vanish, trend-driven quant models face headwinds and many managers underperform.
Slowdown Regime Creates Market Chop
- We're in a 'slowdown' regime where impulses aren't strong enough for clear risk-on or risk-off conviction.
- That creates market chop and dispersion between assets like small caps, mega caps, and crypto.

- Design models to be more sensitive on the way out than on the way in to avoid liquidity cascades.
- Prioritize selling tops quickly over trying to perfectly buy bottoms with leverage.
