OI05: Is Trading Fewer Markets Actually Better? ft. Richard Liddle & Gareth Abbot

OI05: Is Trading Fewer Markets Actually Better? ft. Richard Liddle & Gareth Abbot

In this episode, Moritz Seibert speaks with Gareth Abbot and Richard Liddle from Bowmoor Capital, a trend following firm based in the UK. Gareth and Richard explain why they decided to go against many trend followers and limit their investment universe to 21 markets – a “compact” portfolio – and why additional markets would likely dilute the return stream they aim to generate. We also speak about their portfolio construction process which includes the combination of 16 systems and results in what they call “smart pyramiding” in and out of positions. Finally, we touch on dynamic position sizing.
