The path we all took to become CTA fund managers
The role these strategies can and should play in portfolios
How to position them within a broader asset allocation framework
‘Closet betas’ vs true diversifiers
Are CTAs necessarily synonymous with trend following?
The many faces of trend following
‘Lumpy’ returns and prolonged winters
The role central banks have played in reducing outcome dispersion across asset classes
Behavioral hurdles and challenges
Going beyond trend and the tradeoffs associated with stacking other strategies
All-weather vs all-terrain investing
And much more
