Those two problems are probably related; newer managers who have small AUM will also have a smaller sample of trailing data with which to evaluate performance. IMO, that means performance needs to be evaluated based on strategy type and factor exposures, *not* trailing returns.

There are two types of people. Some will look at this and say, "why bother?" Others will say, "in sample, the more diversified thing ended up at the same place as the more concentrated thing? Great. I'll take more diversification for the out of sample period."

2022 was a homerun year for trend following strategies, but from nearly the start of century through 2021 they showed almost zero benefit as a diversifier to a traditional stock-bond portfolio.

Most investors (ie 60/40) should expect a pre-tax annualized Sharpe ratio of ~0.4. Stacking alternative betas (diversified trend + carry + merger arb + multi-strat equity mkt neutral) might approach an expected Sharpe of 1 pre-tax. Lesson being that unless you’re a top decile…


One of my favorite writings from @CliffordAsness "Risk Parity: Why We Lever" aqr.com/Insights/Persp… Everyone talks about the risks of leverage but few consider the risks of concentration

Thanks @choffstein🙏 Now we just need the integrated combo😉

Must say I am a bit surprised there isn't a public trend+carry or even pure carry managed futures fund yet. Seems like the low hanging fruit if a manager wanted to differentiate from the dozen or so funds that are just pure trend. Though I guess differentiation = career risk.



The good news is there’s this cool thing you can do move up and to the left on the chart without being misleading

The volatilities used below are a joke and a manager or allocator showing them without a huge disclaimer that they calculated on crap data and therefore gibberish is just a scammer (including private credit where Meb needs an arrow).
