SI366: The Strategy Didn’t Fail. The Investors Did. ft. Rob Carver

Niels Kaastrup-Larsen and Rob Carver discuss market trends, including the recent Fed rate cut and large institutions entering the CTA space. They analyze managed futures performance, with both reporting positive gains for the month but still slightly down for the year. They address listener questions about position sizing for cash-only portfolios, short/long symmetry in inflated currencies, and crypto trading strategies. Carver shares insights from a conversation with a CTA manager about adapting to changing market conditions and whether recent underperformance indicates a fundamental shift or a temporary setback, tying it to articles about investor returns versus fund performance and the persistence of active manager skill.
