In this episode we hear from David Denison, Deputy CIO of Hedge Fund Florin Court Capital, a diversified systematic asset manager. David discusses the philosophy behind trading multiple diversified asset classes across the power / electricity, commodity, interest rate swap and FX markets, the dynamics of a market with fewer speculating players and more producer players, the periods in which trend-following has been particularly successful historically, the benefits of trend-following in mitigating behavioral biases such as anchoring, and the growth in alternative CTAs as a HF asset class. David Denison is in discussion with Eloise Goulder, Head of the Data Assets & Alpha Group.
