Adrian Dacruz launched Trend in 2024 as a way to offer global corporations, financial institutions and investors access to shorter, simplified and noiseless trend-following research. Produced in Trend’s ‘White Room’ the research deliberately avoids contamination from fundamental factors, economics and news. The value to the capital markets is a clear and untainted perspective on the future movement of securities and index prices.
