| 0:00.0 | You're about to join Neil's Kostrup Larson on a raw and honest journey into the world of systematic |
| 0:06.6 | investing and learn about the most dependable and consistent yet often overlooked investment strategy. |
| 0:13.2 | Welcome to the Systematic Investor Series. |
| 0:26.5 | Welcome and welcome back to this week's edition of the systematic investor series with Rob Carver and I, Neil's Castle Blasen, where each week we take the pulse of the global |
| 0:30.3 | market through the lens of a rules-based investor. |
| 0:33.1 | If you're new to the show, I hope that today's episode will trigger your curiosity enough |
| 0:37.4 | to check out the back catalogue and listen to the past episodes that you may have missed, like my conversation with Richard last week, where we discussed the power of trend following during periods of heightened uncertainty. |
| 0:48.8 | We also went into trend following in relation to ESG and the new new TopTraders Monthly trend following report |
| 0:55.2 | that you can find in the blog post section on the website, and we also discussed shorter-term |
| 0:59.9 | trend following versus longer-term trend following. As you know, the aim of the podcast is to inspire |
| 1:05.4 | you as an investor. We want to be prerogative without being polarizing. We want to challenge consensus narratives |
| 1:11.8 | and we want to advocate for how to think critically |
| 1:15.1 | about investing in an uncertain world |

| 1:19.3 | that we believe is truly robust. |
| 1:21.6 | And if you want to help us achieve our goal, |
| 1:23.7 | what we ask of you is that if you can comment, |
| 1:26.2 | if you can continue to send us your questions, |
| 1:29.5 | if you can share these episodes with your friends, and not least if you can rate and review them in iTunes or Spotify, |
| 1:35.3 | we would greatly appreciate it because this is the best way for us to see that you get some value from our time and dedication each week to create these episodes. |
| 1:43.8 | And as long as that continues, we will, of course, continue to do them. |
| 1:47.2 | So with all that said, Rob, good to see you. |
