Trend Following Turtle Tails (and Tales) with Jerry Parker

Legend time. We’re hearing straight from the mouth of well-known Turtle Trader – Jerry Parker – on this episode to talk all things trend following. Becoming a leading voice in the alternatives investment and trend following space – Jerry has turned his Turtle Trader experience into a trend following career (perhaps at the expense of some other things in life, as he mentions…) Join us for this talk with Jerry about new remote CTAs, the hidden gem of Tampa, the famous Wall Street Journal ad, what’s enough risk to make it work, pet birds, trading components instead of an index of components, fed limits on trend, volatility targeting, portfolio construction, trend following impatience, the lack of power in diversification, and trend following as an inflationary hedge.
