Trend-following strategies, also known as managed futures, returned 15.7% in the first nine months of the year, outperforming the S&P 500's 11.7% gain. These funds profited by shorting U.S. Treasurys during the September bond sell-off and taking early bullish positions on the dollar and crude oil. Their ability to trade across bonds, commodities, and currencies helped navigate inflation and market shifts, benefiting from the negative correlation between stocks and oil. Going forward, performance will likely depend on energy prices and interest rate movements, which also influence currencies and equities.
