Roland Austrup is CEO and CIO of Integrated Managed Futures (“IMFC”) and the longest-standing CTA in the Canadian marketplace. In this episode of Strategic Investor Radio, host Charlie Wright interviews Mr. Austrup, who explains the advantages of adding managed futures to an investment portfolio. Mr. Austrup explains that the strategy involves investing across multiple asset classes – commodities, currencies, and financial indices – through the futures market. His firm, IMFC, uses quantitative analysis to select long and/or short positions across those asset classes based on value, momentum, and yield. He says his specialty is assessing those characteristics in underlying markets.

Inside Managed Futures With Roland Austrup

Michael Covel

My guest today is Roland Austrup, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer at Integrated managed Futures, part of the IAM group out of Canada. Austrup’s firm comes at trading from a slightly different perspective: very systematic, but also using fundamentals systematically. The topic is trading. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:  How Austrup got started in the industry, and whether he was always a “quant” thinker Early experiences with Ed Seykota Whether Austrup uses a systematic use of fundamentals or a discretionary use of fundamentals Why systematic can be frightening to certain people Managing risk and the return to risk profile Why Austrup targets a downside volatility of 13% Why “the returns will take care of themselves” if you manage risk correctly Trading trends and not market noise Being on the right side of a trend The phrase “equity-like returns” Reviewing trend following performance in recent years Why Austrup’s strategy is not based on prediction The importance of a broadly diversified portfolio Lack of correlation to traditional long-only equities strategies The current low rate environment  Jump in! --- I’m MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I’m proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.
