Ep. 151: Eric Wong Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Eric Wong. Wong established TCG on behalf of his family in 2003 as an asset management and financial advisory firm focused on investments with superior risk adjusted returns that are uncorrelated to major asset classes and advising family office and corporate clients. TCG's Celera division was formed in 2012 to consolidate and spin out the markets, technology, and business infrastructure of TCG.

The topic is entrepreneur.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• How the rest of the world has a long way to go to understanding how China operates
• The niche that Wong's family office, TCG, occupies in the trading space
• Uncorrelated returns
• The advantages of working for a family office
• The entrepreneurial history of Wong's family
• Trend following data, data points, and the importance of data over a long period of time
• The Sharpe Ratio, and why the rest of the investing world has a problem with rejecting it
• The importance of pain as a measure
• Why Chinese investors are more driven by returns, and often agnostic to particular investment strategies
• Investor optimism
• "Nimbleness" to new ideas in Chinese culture
• Entrepreneurism in Asia and America
