When volatility spikes and markets move in unexpected directions, a good trend-following strategy has the speed and flexibility to adapt and roll with the punches – in other words, it can keep calm and carry on.

In this webinar, we discuss:

  • Why the Man AHL team's outlook for trend-following remains positive in a new environment.
