ANECDOTE

Syntex: A 10-Bagger Example

Syntex, a 10-bagger stock in the 1960s, exemplifies the power of fundamentals driving price.
Its growth was due to new drugs and revenue expansion, illustrating a perfect alignment of price, fundamentals, and valuation.

ANECDOTE

Trend-Following Analogies

Lundgren compares trend-following to air travel: endure turbulence for the destination.
He also likens it to marriage: handle volatility for long-term happiness.

INSIGHT

Institutional Constraints vs. Independence

Institutional settings constrain risk-taking due to client risk tolerance and performance pressures.
Independent managers have more flexibility, allowing for looser stops and greater risk for higher returns.

In this special live release of Fill the Gap, Frank Teixeira, CMT, CFA, and David Lundgren, CMT CFA will share insights from decades of institutional portfolio management experience on how Wall St. utilizes technical analysis to understand market behavior, fund flows, positioning, price action, and the character and direction of public markets.

This fireside chat on Trend-Following Perspectives brought the 2024 CMT Summit to a conclusion with a deep dive and unique perspective on the use of technical analysis in institutional portfolio management. Moderated by Tyler Wood, CMT, these former colleagues explore what it takes to be an effective contrarian investor, how to communicate technical concepts to a broad audience, and how the discipline has evolved. Stylistically different, both gentlemen continue to thrive through multiple market cycles. Whether as a systematic or more discretionary portfolio manager, trend-following is at the core of their investment approach.
