Abstract

The authors propose the use of short and long portfolios to analyze the risk and return characteristics of trend-following strategies. They present evidence for the asymmetric profitability of trend-following strategies, showing that returns to the long side are more profitable. They also find that the exposure of CTAs to the long and short sides of trend-following strategies has become more biased toward long positions. The main lesson of the study is that the long and short sides should be differentiated in an analysis of dynamic investment strategies. TOPICS: Portfolio construction, commodities, statistical methods, performance measurement
趋势追随者的长短
作者建议使用多头和空头组合来分析趋势跟随策略的风险和收益特征。他们为趋势跟随策略的非对称盈利能力提供了证据,表明多头的回报更有利可图。他们还发现,cta对趋势跟随策略的多头和空头的敞口变得更加偏向多头头寸。该研究的主要教训是,在分析动态投资策略时应区分多头和空头。主题:投资组合构建、商品、统计方法、绩效评估
