Global Trend funds trade liquid global futures, options, and foreign exchange contracts largely according to trend-following strategies (i.e. greater than 50% of fund assets are allocated to such strategies). These strategies are price driven (technical), rather than fundamental, and systematic (automated) rather than discretionary. Trend-followers typically trade in diversified global markets, including commodity, currencies, government bonds, interest rates, and equity indexes. However, some trend followers may concentrate in certain markets such as currencies. These strategies prosper when markets demonstrate sustained directional trend, either bullish or bearish.
