Trading Description, Risk Strategy & Background

Trading Description

The Diversified Systematic Program seeks to capture trends in a variety of global commodity and futures markets using 31 broadly diversified markets covering seven major sectors: interest rate, currency, stock index, energy, grain, metals and softs. Average holding period is 100 days. The program has been refined over the past thirteen years from a multi-system / multi-time frame trend approach to a focus on long term trend following with the constant goal to provide consistent returns while reducing volatility. This transition to a focus on long term trend following began in 2008.
