A Greeting from Our Founder
Investors today face a more uncertain market environment than at any point in the last decade. Elevated equity valuations, stubborn inflation and the unreliability of bonds as a diversifier are motivating investors to seek out strategies that can strengthen portfolio resilience without sacrificing return potential or liquidity.
Our rules-based trend-following approach, Eupatrid Global Trends, is designed exactly for this purpose.
Historically, trend-following strategies have delivered positive long-term returns with low correlation to traditional assets, often performing best during market stress or regime shifts such as the Dot-Com Bust, Global Financial Crisis and recent inflation shocks.
Combining this with systematically capturing major moves across global markets, trend-following can enhance traditional portfolio performance by lowering drawdowns and increasing returns over the long run. A win win.
For investors focused on wealth preservation across generations, even a modest allocation to trend-following can support a more resilient investment plan.

I also invite you to take a look around to learn more about us and our investing philosophy, specifically the resource library, my Substack essays or simply reach out.
Thank you.
