In this in-depth conversation, Jeff Malec picks the brain of veteran quant Doug Greenig about pursuing trends on a truly global scale. Greenig takes listeners on his fascinating career journey, from cutting-edge fixed income modeling at Goldman Sachs to managing risk at MAN AHL's pioneering CTA firm. He explains how this experience led him to establish Florin Court Capital and develop novel ways of accessing over 500 international markets. Greenig and Malec engage in a lively debate about capturing narrative shifts, the effects of high-speed trading, and how allocators can balance exposure to alternative trends. Listen in on unique insights into operational challenges like structuring swaps to trade illiquid assets. Greenig also discusses how Florin Court scales risk across a massive portfolio while still delivering the crisis protection allocators seek. This revealing episode pulls back the curtain on one firm's quest to follow profits wherever macro winds may blow. SEND IT!

In today's episode I speak with Otto van Hemert, Director of Core Strategies at Man AHL.After briefly touching upon Otto's background, we dive into one of his most popular papers: The Best Strategies for Inflationary Times. Otto shares the inspiration for the research as well as some of what he feels were the less obvious results.Trend strategies, which were a standout winner in the inflation resilience horse race, serve as the bridge to a discussion on seasonality. Interestingly, Otto's research suggests that long-term trend signals are actually capturing seasonality effects!Otto shares his thoughts on different approaches to measuring seasonality, why he believes seasonality emerges in both commodities and financial markets, and how to think about combining trend and seasonality in a single portfolio.Please enjoy my conversation with Otto van Hemert.

In this first episode of the new mini series with the largest and most successful trend followers in the world, we are joined by Russell Korgaonkar, CIO at Man AHL, for a conversation on how Man AHL uses trend following in their trading strategy. We discuss the philosophy behind their work and why they believe trend following is a great strategy, as well as what makes Man AHL stand out to investors and how they make trend following more digestible while maintaining "crisis alpha". We also discuss Korgaonkar's view on CTA replication and their process of improving their trend following system and models, why having a good execution system is important for enabling different sources of alpha and why they use dynamic position sizing to maximize their returns, how they overcome periods of drawdowns and how you price your work as a CTA, how much you should allocate to trend and much more.----------EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “The Many Flavors of Trend Following” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Find out more about DUNN CapitalEpisode Timestamps:00:00 - Intro02:22 - Introduction to Man AHL03:45 - Their trading strategy06:18 - Why does trend following work?10:11 - A unique type of trend following?15:46 - A trade-off in the objectives19:14 - The effect of adding carry21:13 - Picking from the strategy menu?22:46 - Too much focus on Sharpe?24:33 - Replication - yay or nay?29:54 - Have the models become outdated?35:55 -...

In this episode I speak with Giuliana Bordigoni, Director of Specialist Strategies at Man AHL. In her role, Giuliana oversees the firm's strategies that require specialist knowledge.  This includes, for example, alternative markets, options trading, credit, and machine learning. We spend a good deal of time discussing alternative markets, a focus of Giuliana's in both her current role and her prior as the Head of Alternative Markets.  We discuss the potential benefits and challenges of introducing alternative markets to existing CTA programs, unexpected roadblocks in doing so, and the opportunities that Giuliana is most excited about today. We also discuss machine learning, which is treated as its own unique class of strategy rather than as a technique, and why Giuliana is so excited about systematic credit today. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Giuliana Bordigoni.  

How do alternative momentum strategies work and what differentiates them from traditional CTA futures? In this episode, Peter is joined by Giuliana Bordigoni, Director of Specialist Strategies at Man AHL, to discuss what makes an alternative alternatives strategy, the diversification benefits relative to traditional trend strategies and asset classes, and execution is often just as important to success as your signals.

In this episode we dive into the reasons why trend following strategies work and importantly, when they work. Joining Peter is Otto Van Hemert, Director of Core Strategies at Man AHL, co-author of the award-winning paper Best Strategies for Inflationary Times which highlights trend as one such solution.

But why? For the second season of Long Story Short, Trend Setters is demystifying the world of trend-following strategies and why they work in volatile markets.

But the crown jewel of the City institution is Man AHL, a quantitative investment firm that alone manages over $57bn.    AHL was initially started by three pioneers of systematic investing, Mike Adam, David Harding and Martin Lueck. Today, its band of programmers, data scientists and algorithmic traders are overseen by Russell Korgaonkar, who was named Man AHL's chief investment officer in 2020, alongside Man AHL CEO Matthew Sargaison.   If Russell had had his way, he would have been lighting up Formula One or the Premier League. But sadly his sporting talent didn't quite match his aptitude for mathematics, and after a degree in physics at Oxford he joined Man AHL as a researcher in 2001.   However, as Russell stresses in this conversation with the FT's Robin Wigglesworth, it is a misconception that the cultural hinterland of quants consists solely of chess and vintage computer games.    Another misunderstanding is that quants can relax on the beach while the machines do all the work. As Russell explains, successful systematic investing is hard work, requiring continual refinement of models and sniffing out new sources of returns in the chaos of financial markets.   The Money Maze Podcast is sponsored by Schroders and Bremont Watches.   Schroders is a global investment and wealth manager, with a purpose to provide excellent investment performance to clients, through active investment management.

My guest today is Russell Korgaonkar the Chief Investment Officer of Man AHL. To quote Man (100B+ AUM): Our investment programmes are based on a long-standing philosophy that markets exhibit persistent anomalies, such as price trends, mean reversion, carry or other repeatable patterns, which can be identified through careful statistical analysis. We believe many of these inefficiencies result from behavioural biases, for example risk aversion, anchoring and herding. Our core principles centre on diversification, efficiency and risk control. In addition to our continuous efforts to expand the range of trading strategies, great effort is afforded to researching new markets in order to maximise portfolio diversification.

"When the market turns and goes negative, strategies like Trend Following tend to do really well. They provide that hedge. So it's completely inappropriate to compare Trend Following to a long equity portfolio, because Trend Following has different properties - it has hedging properties." - Cam HarveyHow should you protect your portfolio against large losses, but without giving up its upside potential? To answer this question, and many more, I invited back professor of finance at Duke University, Campbell Harvey to the show. I also thought it would be fitting if Rob Carver, could also join us, considering Rob and Cam used to work together at Man AHL. Enjoy the show as we discuss how to navigate a crisis in the markets, and what to expect in terms of the global outlook for investing. Thank you for listening and please welcome to the show, our guest, Campbell Harvey.

Today I am speaking with Russell Korgaonkar, CIO of Man AHL. In his role, Russell oversees a large research organization and so we spend a large part of our conversation talking about research management. Russell provides his thoughts on topics such as determining which projects to take on, quantifying investments in technology, data, and people, how to avoid group think, and how to incentivize both researchers and reviewers. There is tremendous organizational alpha to be gleaned here. In the back half of the conversation we discuss some of the research that Russell has published on dynamic risk controls. He explains how risk management signals are akin to alpha signals and how the practice of managing risk through 2020 differed from the theory of doing it. We conclude with Russell's opinion as the most important due diligence question he could ask, either of another manager or of his own researchers. Please enjoy my conversation with Russell Korgaonkar.

  "This is where the populism intercedes with the market risks. I think people look at these risks as independent risks, so they're not looking at them and how they interrelate with the ecosystem of financial products, as well." - Chris Cole (Tweet) Welcome to Top Traders Round Table, a podcast series on managed futures brought to you by CME Group and the Managed Funds Association, where guest host Chris Solarz continues his conversation with Chris Cole, the Founder and CIO of Artemis Capital Management, Matthew Sargaison, co-CEO of MAN AHL at Man Group, and Dan Stone, co-founder of Ionic Capital.

In the final chapter, Anthony builds on the previous Optimisation chapter (which you should watch first) and focuses on constructing the Maximum Diversification portfolio, i.e. the portfolio which captures as much diversification as possible.

In this chapter, Anthony tackles the important methodological topic of Optimisation, and in particular Convex Optimisation, and shows through a worked example how it relates to the portfolio construction problem of maximising return subject to a risk constraint.

In the third chapter of the series, Anthony explores some of the different areas within the hybrid discipline of Machine Learning. He uses an example binary classification problem to illustrate the differences between traditional Linear and Empirical approaches and a Bayesian Machine Learning classifier, noting the advantages and weaknesses inherent to each method.

In this second instalment, Anthony explores the topic of Limit Order Books and Trade Execution by giving a simplified look at how trading takes place in exchanges and illustrating the important process by which individual buy and sell orders get matched.

In this first chapter, Anthony sheds some light on Breakout Trading, which is one of the most popular systematic strategies and is widely used in trading Equities, Futures and FX Markets. He also notes how key ideas such as volatility scaling and diversification apply here just as for other momentum-style trading systems.

This video examines cross-sectional momentum, explaining how the basic idea and the strategies that seek to profit from it differ from the time series momentum approach pursued by CTAs.

We look beyond the core momentum (trend) signal to provide insight into the technical and fundamental predictors commonly used by Commodity Trading Advisors and multi-strategy managers.

The subject of portfolio risk is tackled by explaining the familiar industry terms Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall before mentioning the multi-faceted role of risk management.

Portfolio diversification is explained using the simplest possible portfolio and also introduces the concept of re-gearing.

Anthony Ledford goes through the main features of futures contracts and explains how their cash efficiency is particularly useful in risk-targeting.

This video shows how the effect of a market’s price volatility can be neutralised within the P and L achieved by trading that market.

A simple illustration is used to show how price trends over different time horizons are combined to form a momentum signal.
