Trend-Following in the Times of Crisis

When someone mentions a financial crisis, most people immediately think of the global financial crisis of 2007–2008.

Additionally, we analyze the behavior of our trend-following strategy during each of the crisis periods and propose it as a hedge for the stock, bond, and/or commodity markets.
