My guest today is Michael Dever, an American businessman, futures trader, entrepreneur, and author. Dever is the founder and CEO of Brandywine Asset Management, Inc., an investment management firm founded in 1982.

The topic is Trend Following.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Multiple fundamentally based strategies in a systematic diversified portfolio that trades across more than one hundred global markets; strategy diversification
• The word “predictable” from Dever’s perspective; lack of correlation to other strategies
• What Dever means by a “not purely quantitative” strategy
• How and why this particular suite of strategies came to exist
• The five strategy types
• Crisis events and black swans
• The weakness in the multiple strategy return driver set
• The importance of speculators
