Welcome to The Systematic Investor series. It\u2019s a great privilege for me to invite you to a behind the scenes conversation between some of my favorite systematic investors namely Jerry Parker and Moritz Seibert. We get on a \u201ccall\u201d each week to discuss the events that took place through the lens of a Systematic Investor and how the trading strategies we work with are reacting. It\u2019s a raw and honest exploration and we hope you will join and be part of\u2026not least by sending us questions that we can discuss.
