Round Table Discussion: CTA / Managed Futures

HedgeNordic’s CTA round table has become an annual tradition, running strong for over a decade. Each year, we bring together a dynamic mix of managers – from industry giants to emerging talent – from across the region and around the globe.

The 2024 round table, too, featured a distinguished lineup with Linus Nilsson (Tidan), Harold de Boer (Transtrend), Martin Källström (Lynx), Moritz Seibert (Takahē), Kathryn Kaminski (AlphaSimplex), Jerry Parker (Chesapeake), Julia Axelsson (Swedbank Robur), Razvan Remsing (Aspect), and Andrew Beer (DBi) joining us in Stockholm in a session moderated by Kamran Ghalitschi (HedgeNordic).

In an engaging discussion, we explored the diverse strategies managers use to achieve their objectives, and covered topics such as “Innovation in CTA Strategies and Products,” “Trend-Following Replication and Non-Trend Diversification Efforts,” and examined “The Role of CTA ETFs.” We’ve captured the key insights for you to read up.

We hope you enjoy reading through this summary of the roundtable discussion.
