We receive monthly updates  from Au.Tra.Sy blog each month. You can find the latest post here. At the bottom of the post you are able to enter an email address to receive monthly updates. We suggest doing so for a couple of different reasons.

  1. Benchmark against top Trend Following professionals
  2. Find additional strategies to implement

These two are pretty obvious to us, but may not be to you. The first is pretty simple. We want to be in the top 1% of all managers regardless of strategy and medium. This goes across mutual funds, hedge funds, and any other vehicle the world can think of.  If we cannot consistently beat other Managers why are we here?

The second reason may not be immediately obvious. However, it is something we are aware and seek out. Given many of these Trend Followers will invest in other asset classes than stocks it isn’t a pure benchmark. What we are looking for are managers consistently providing their investors with solid performance over a long period of time. We want to take a look at what they are doing and try to apply to our own trading. Who has the ability to find a trend and ride it the longest?  This is what we are after.

Here is the latest returns:
