Strategy mechanics
What the structure is designed to do.
The strategy ranks a broad US equity universe and focuses on securities demonstrating persistent relative strength. Positions are held while the trend remains intact rather than being managed from short-term headlines.
Trend following accepts that many signals will not develop as expected. Portfolio breadth, rebalancing rules and disciplined exits are central to containing the impact of failed trends.
