SI62: The benefits of running a multi-strategy portfolio

Published: Nov. 17, 2019, 2:15 a.m.

In this week\u2019s edition, we discuss the possible benefits of running a multi-strategy portfolio, whether or not you need to have a \u2018feel\u2019 for the markets before constructing a model, the new all-time highs on the Dow, Trend Following as a viable solution to the end of the 60/40 portfolio, and the longer-term drawbacks of chasing performance from different fund managers.  Questions we cover this week include: What really went wrong with LTCM? Should Trend Followers also employ Buy & Hold strategies? Is it ok to \u2018leave money on the table\u2019?  How would you go about getting into the CTA industry?
