Summary

Welcome to The Systematic Investor series. It’s 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 “call” 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’s a raw and honest exploration and we hope you will join and be part of…not least by sending us questions that we can discuss.

0:00.0	You're about to join Jerry Parker, Maritz Seabert, and Nealz Kastrup Larson on their raw and honest journey into the world of systematic investing and learn about the most dependable and consistent yet often overlooked investment strategy.
0:15.1	Welcome to the Systematic Investor podcast series.
0:19.8	Jerry Parker, Moritz Seabert, and I, Niels Kastro Larson, are delighted to be back with
0:24.5	this week's edition of the Systematic Investor Series.
0:27.6	And as usual, we're going to discuss last week's events in the world of rule-based investing
0:32.1	and take some of your questions.
0:35.9	Good morning, Jerry.
0:36.6	Good afternoon to you, Moritz. How are you guys?
0:39.2	Fine, Neil's. Fine. Great. Good. Good. Sounds like it's a lot of energy in the air today.
0:46.9	Interesting week again, in my opinion, although it was of course shortened by the holiday and black Friday and all of those things and
0:57.6	over Thanksgiving but certainly I thought that there was quite a few moves still in the markets
1:05.4	and that this general maybe level of volatility continues to be elevated, almost like it used to be
1:15.3	back in the day before we had QE and QT and all of those things.
1:19.8	So let me just jump into it and ask how you saw the week, what you noticed, what drives, returns at the moment, etc., etc.
1:32.5	How about you, Morris, what did you notice this week?
1:36.7	More of the energies.
1:38.0	First of all, yes, you're right.
1:39.4	I think ever since Red October, as we coined it, volatility is back and it's continuing higher. So we
1:45.4	no longer have those quiet days, at least in the past couple of days, where just barely
1:50.7	things moved. There are larger moves now, which I don't mind. Now, I think this week,
1:58.8	this past week has all been about the oil markets.
2:02.5	I mean, those moves down in WTI, there have been really large.
