What Is Trend-Following?
‘Trend-following’ (the statistics of price) is a quantitative toolkit that uses objective, price-based statistics to encourage investment in the direction of the price trend, without the reliance on news, market fundamentals or using price forecasts.
Trend-following is not a new concept but remains under practiced 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 adopted by algorithmic trading desks and quantitative hedge funds. It is also becoming increasingly relevant with the growth of passive (non-fundamental) investing.
At Trend Intelligence we produce unique research and insight for our global clients by adding our own custom statistical overlays to some of the best trend-following indicators from the world of quantitative finance. Trend Intelligence seeks to establish itself as a global standard bearer for trend-following reporting.

Our White Room
All of Trend’s research takes place in our White Room – a purposeful white space that cuts out the noise of news, earnings, shareholder meetings and economic releases. In implementing this method we also avoid contamination from human bias. Our clients can have confidence in accessing the most accurate statistical research throughout our platform.

Adrian holds additional certifications from Said Business School, University of Oxford in Algorithmic Trading, Artificial Intelligence and Financial Technology. Adrian is also an accredited Member of Technical Analysts (MSTA) in the UK.
