Creating Intelligent Perspectives
Capital markets data is expensive, complicated and offers little insight as to how issued securities prices will behave today, a week from now or even next month. Corporate issuers deserve empirical intelligence that accurately depicts the future of their stock and bond prices and the quantitative signals that drive them.
Trend Intelligence provides uniquely statistical, trend-following expertise that is clean, valuable and transparent. We give globally minded corporations the toolkit to better understand capital markets prices and investor sentiment across global security, index, currency and commodity markets.

What Is Trend-Following?
‘Trend-following’ (the statistics of price) is a well-known quantitative investment strategy that uses objective, price-based statistics to decipher the direction of a price trend, without reliance on news, market fundamentals or price forecasts.
Pioneered far back in the early 19th century, its benefits still remain unappreciated by corporate issuers. Trend-followers seek to uncover and capitalize on statistical trends shown in asset prices over time. This is a highly predictive, algorithmic approach that’s been the remit of many successful hedge funds since the 1980’s.
Now, Trend Intelligence repurposes trend-following algorithms for global corporations, serving as a predictive tool for a company’s securities prices, related indices, currencies or commodities that can affect its valuation. Trend uses well known ‘textbook’ trend-following indicators from the world of quantitative finance and seeks to establish itself as a standard bearer for trend-following reporting.
Some well known trend-following investors:
Sir David Harding
A pioneer in quantitative investing, Harding founded hedge funds Man AHL and Winton.
Charles Dow
A founding figure of trend-following and price analysis, Dow created the famous Dow Jones Index.
Jim Simons
Founder of Renaissance Technologies, Simons blended mathematics, science & investing.
