Investment research is expensive, complicated and offers limited insight as to what will happen to asset prices today, a week from now or next month. Long research papers don’t tell us about the practical, ongoing price trends that are so critical for market participants to understand.

Why Trend-Following?

‘Trend-following’ (the statistics of price) is not a new concept but remains under practiced and non-standardized in corporate and financial communities. First pioneered by 19th century investors like Charles Dow (creator of the Dow Jones Industrial Average) it has since been widely adopted by algorithmic trading desks & quantitative hedge funds. Trend-following is also becoming increasing relevant with the growth of passive (non-fundamental) investing.

Trend-following is a quantitative financial toolkit that uses objective, price-based statistics to determine which direction a market is trending over time. The concept encourages investment in the direction of the price trend, without reading news, studying market fundamentals or using price forecasts.

Trend Intelligence adds its own proprietary statistical overlays to some of the best trend-following indicators from the world of quantitative finance, many of these being established more than half a century ago by eminent mathematicians and investors. Trend Intelligence also seeks to establish itself as a global standard in trend-following reporting, creating benefits to all those who are concerned with financial markets.
