Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During bull and bear markets, there is a group of hedge funds and professional traders which have been consistently outperforming traditional investment strategies for the past 30 odd years. They have shown remarkable uncorrelated performance and in the great bear market of 2008 they had record gains. These traders are highly secretive about their proprietary trading algorithms and often employ top PhDs in their research teams. Yet, it is possible to replicate their trading performance with relatively simplistic models. These traders are trend following cross asset futures managers, also known as CTAs. Many books are written about them but none explain their strategies in such detail as to enable the reader to emulate their success and create their own trend following trading business, until now. Following the Trend explains why most hopefuls fail by focusing on the wrong things, such as buy and sell rules, and teaches the truly important parts of trend following. Trading everything from the Nasdaq index and T-bills to currency crosses, platinum and live hogs, there are large gains to be made regardless of the state of the economy or stock markets. By analysing year by year trend following performance and attribution the reader will be able to build a deep understanding of what it is like to trade futures in large scale and where the real problems and opportunities lay. Written by experienced hedge fund manager Andreas Clenow, this book provides a comprehensive insight into the strategies behind the booming trend following futures industry from the perspective of a market participant. The strategies behind the success of this industry are explained in great detail, including complete trading rules and instructions for how to replicate the performance of successful hedge funds. You are in for a potentially highly profitable roller coaster ride with this hard and honest look at the positive as well as the negative sides of trend following.

This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding risk is important. Prior to 2008, as the yields on safe assets hit rock bottom, investors began to focus on an alphabet soup of more complex instruments. These complex securities were rated AAA and appeared as safe as U.S. Treasuries, but with much higher yields. The 2008 financial crisis revealed, however, that higher yields on these instruments came with higher risk, albeit too late for these investors. This study seeks to understand the risk–return tradeoff, managerial skill, and factor exposures on the risk-return tradeoff in two financial instruments that have been limitedly investigated: commodity trading advisors (CTAs) and managed futures funds (MFFs). This study begins by documenting the differences between CTAs/MFFs and hedge funds and mutual funds, starting with the legal and operational differences. Next, it conducts a performance analysis, which indicates that CTAs and MFFs, as standalone investment vehicles, provide returns that are higher than the average market returns in bear markets, while carrying lower risk. The strong standing of CTAs and MFFs in bear markets earn them their reputation as “downside risk protectors.” CTAs and MFFs are profitable individual assets but adding these funds to classical asset portfolios enhances portfolio performance significantly. This feature makes them strong hedging assets. As expected, their performance is below that of standard assets in up markets. Chapter 4 finds that the superior performance of CTAs and MFFs can be explained by managerial skill. Positive and significant Jensen alphas are evidence of good performance; moreover, the persistence of the Jensen alphas is supported by both parametric and non-parametric tests. Incentive fees and fund age are found to be positively related to managerial skill, while (somewhat surprisingly) management fees are found to be negatively related to it. Chapter 5 finds that many financial and macroeconomic factors are statistically unrelated to CTA and MFF performance. However, the value premium (HML) factor and industrial production growth (IPG) are correlated with their performance. HML has a relation effect on one-month-ahead fund returns, whereas IPG has a negative association with them. Nonparametric tests support these results marginally. Overall, these findings suggest that both CTAs and MFFs use well-known and well-established predictors of expected returns to generate their alphas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debunking outdated and inaccurate beliefs about investment management and reveals the new realities of the post-modern financial markets There have been a lot of big changes in the investment world over the past decade, and many long-cherished beliefs about the structures and performance of various investments no longer apply. Unfortunately the news seems not to have reached many thought leaders and investment professionals who persist in trying, and failing, to apply 20th-century thinking to 21st-century portfolio management. Nowhere is this more true than when it comes to the subject of alternative investments. Written by an all-star team of investment management experts, this book debunks common myths and misconceptions about most classes of alternative investments and offers valuable advice on how to develop investment management and asset allocation strategies consistent with the new realities of the ever-changing world of alternative investments. Covers most alternative asset classes, including private equity, real estate, managed futures, hedge funds, commodity indices, and more Debunks long-held assumptions about the structure and performance of various investment classes that continue to dominate the industry Explores the implications for investment managers of the proliferation of international marketable securities and global financial markets Provides an overview of both the micro and the macro aspects of each alternative investment class

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Commodity Exchange Act, all individuals and firms (with certain exceptions) that intend to do business as futures professionals must register with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The commission has authorized the National Futures Association (NFA), a self-regulatory organization, to receive and review applications and grant registrations. The following are two categories of futures professionals that must register: Commodity trading adviser (CTA) -- A person, who, for compensation or profit, directly or indirectly advises others as to the advisability of buying or selling commodity futures or option contracts. Commodity pool operator (CPO) -- An individual or firm that operates a commodity pool. A commodity pool is an investment trust, syndicate, or similar form of enterprise operated for the purpose of trading commodity futures or options contracts. Many hedge funds, particularly those that trade futures, are registered as CTAs and even CPOs. CTAs generally can be classified as currency, financials, equity, physicals, and diversified. Most are classified as diversified (they trade several markets) and fewer are classified as physicals (they exclusively trade nonfinancial markets such as energy, metals, softs, etc.). In this article, we examine the diversification benefits of managed futures. We examine alternative ways of investing in managed futures, discuss data sources as well as the impact of survivorship bias, and present our results as they relate to the diversification benefits of managed futures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments have not only driven numerous financial markets to record highs, but also significantly increased the correlations between various asset classes. Following one of the longest bull markets in history, current price levels and the co-movement behaviours of traditional asset classes suggest reduced expected returns and diversification benefits in the future. The question, therefore, is whether there exist investment strategies that still provide an attractive risk/return profile and consistent diversification benefits.The hypothesis and aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the unambiguous answer is yes! The risk premia of as well as correlations between asset classes are time varying, and strategies that dynamically adjust to changing attractiveness and co-movements are able to harvest positive returns in various market environments. However, these strategies inherently need to be highly liquid in order to allow for dynamic exposure management. One type of alternative strategy that combines liquidity with adaptiveness is a managed futures strategy. Accordingly, this paper elaborates on the differences in the risk/return profiles of traditional balanced mandates and a long-short risk-balanced CTA strategy. It shows that the latter is not only well suited to withstand adverse bond or equity market conditions, but it may even find attractive return opportunities in turbulent times. We call this the king in stress scenarios (KISS) effect of long-short managed futures strategies. This robust and diversifying risk/return profile is mainly attributable to its broad and adaptively weighted investment portfolio, as well as the possibility of taking on short positions.

This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication serves as a roadmap for exploring and managing climate risk in the U.S. financial system. It is the first major climate publication by a U.S. financial regulator. The central message is that U.S. financial regulators must recognize that climate change poses serious emerging risks to the U.S. financial system, and they should move urgently and decisively to measure, understand, and address these risks. Achieving this goal calls for strengthening regulators’ capabilities, expertise, and data and tools to better monitor, analyze, and quantify climate risks. It calls for working closely with the private sector to ensure that financial institutions and market participants do the same. And it calls for policy and regulatory choices that are flexible, open-ended, and adaptable to new information about climate change and its risks, based on close and iterative dialogue with the private sector. At the same time, the financial community should not simply be reactive—it should provide solutions. Regulators should recognize that the financial system can itself be a catalyst for investments that accelerate economic resilience and the transition to a net-zero emissions economy. Financial innovations, in the form of new financial products, services, and technologies, can help the U.S. economy better manage climate risk and help channel more capital into technologies essential for the transition. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5247742
