Richard Brennan returns to discuss the idea of applying trend following on a shorter term time frame and why this might not make sense, the most optimal solutions for selecting managers, how to best avoid selection bias in the process and why the validated track record of a fund manager is so important. We also discuss how the analogy of hunting on the savana can be applied to trend following and what a cheetah and a spider can teach us about hunting trends and much more.

0:13.0 | Welcome to the Systematic Investor Series. |
0:26.8 | Welcome and welcome back to this week's edition of the Systematic Investor Series with Richard Brennan and I, Niels Castle Alaston, where each week we take the polls of the global market |
0:31.2 | through the lens of a rules-based investor. |
0:33.8 | Now, before we dive into today's topics, I want to let you know that I will try to make our |
0:39.5 | systematic investor series a bit more focused on providing unique value to you as a listener, |
0:45.8 | and this comes as a result of some feedback I had this week from one of our loyal listeners. |
0:51.2 | What it means in practice is that I will move my macro-oriented weekly update to my |
0:56.9 | weekly email update that comes out every Sunday. So the podcast episode will be more focused and |
1:03.0 | potentially a bit shorter in time. Now, I'm going to do this on relatively short notice. |

1:37.0 | with you this week. How are you doing? What's happening down under? All good news. |
1:41.7 | I'm getting a bit colder down here, but the markets, yeah, they've been an |
1:46.4 | interesting sort of state for the last few months. It's fairly flat for me, but we've had some |
1:52.3 | wiggles, ups and downs, but yeah, nothing to complain about, but I certainly haven't experienced |
1:59.1 | fantastic trends of 2022 yet, |
