Following a research project that was initiated in 1987, Transtrend B.V. (“Transtrend”) was established in 1991 as an asset manager purely focused on systematic trading strategies. Transtrend’s approach is aimed at exploiting trends in financial and commodities markets and is entirely based on quantitative analysis of typical price behavior in these markets. Transtrend’s trading strategies have no directional bias and can go long or short in their attempt to benefit from price patterns that represent good profit expectancy over time.

“Most people feel intimidated when seeking a loan. Bankers like to view potential borrowers with suspicion…dallying a bit before deciding whether a borrower is sufficiently creditworthy. But George Roberts of KKR never asked to borrow money. He always asked if his bankers could raise a loan for him. The slight difference in wording proved crucial. Suddenly Roberts controlled the situation. The bankers, even if they represented a giant institution a thousand times KKR’s size, were the ones put to the test.”
Nice.

Today, I had the opportunity to share face-to-face experiences with a handful of key lieutenants at a prominent trend following firm. They also provided a great background from their then small start-up to current respected veteran status. Their track record? It extends over 30+ years. They have been around the block to say the least. How has their basic trend following philosophy remained under the radar? That was the question I kept asking myself. How can a college finance class serve any purpose if these types of trend traders are not on the syllabus? Well, it can’t.
