From Turtle to Titan: Trend Following with Jerry Parker

from Dantes Outlook Market Podcast · host Jerry Parker

Key Topics:   The original Turtle experiment and lessons from Richard Dennis  Why and how trend following focuses on small losses and large winners  Volatility-based position sizing and risk management discipline - Diversification across equity markets, currencies, commodities, bonds, and individual stocks  Current market dispersion and what it means for systematic strategies  The psychological challenge of sticking with trend during whipsaws and drawdowns  The growing role of ETFs in managed futures How advisors can size and integrate trend-following sleeves within broader allocations  Key Takeaways:  Trend following is agnostic — it adapts rather than predicts.  Diversification across a broad global universe improves opportunity and resilience.  Proper allocation and manager selection matter more than short-term performance.  No strategy is perfect — understanding drawdowns and behavioral discipline is critical.  Learn More:  Jerry Parker & Chesapeake Capital: www.chesapeakecapital.com  Dantes Outlook's RIA & OCIO Services: www.dantesoutlook.com  Dantes Outlook Substack for ongoing research and portfolio insights: www.dantes.substack.com  Disclaimer: The information presented is for informational purposes only and should not be considered as investment advice nor as a recommendation of any particular strategy, allocation or investment product: before making any investment decision, you should seek expert, professional advice and obtain information regarding the legal, fiscal, regulatory and foreign currency requirements for any investment according to the laws of your home country and place of residence.
