My guest today is Gary Antonacci. Antonacci focuses on two issues in the quant world: relative strength price momentum with trend following absolute momentum. He’s developed a strategy where he believes it’s best to combine both. 

The topic is his book Dual Momentum Investing: An Innovative Strategy for Higher Returns with Lower Risk.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Momentum vs. trend
• Relative strength momentum, cross sectional momentum, absolute momentum, and time series momentum
• Trend following vs. managed futures as terms
• Antonacci’s early history and how he found his way into the career he has today
• Three legendary traders that crossed paths with Antonacci early on
• The efficient market hypothesis as a less-than-solid foundation
• Buying higher highs
• Ray Dalio and risk parity strategies
• Academic perspectives on momentum
• The interaction and correlation between the two momentum strategies (relative and absolute)
