In a year when most alternatives fell short, systematic trend following stood out. The Inside Adviser looks at ECCM’s FY26 result.

In conversation with ausbiz, ECCM’s Simone Haslinger explains how systematic trend following removes emotion from investing decisions.

The ECCM Systematic Trend Fund led FundMonitors’ FY26 alternatives review.

Herding shapes markets. Trend following is a way to participate in it, on process not conviction.

The 60/40 portfolio is no longer the default. Asset allocation strategies are evolving fast as the investment landscape reshapes.

ECCM CEO Simone Haslinger spoke to The Australian on a year of investment extremes, market volatility and where the trends may head next.

Family offices are heavily allocated to US equities at record valuations. Trend following offers genuine diversification when it matters most.

Investors’ personal histories shape their decisions more than data does — and systematic, rules-based strategies are one of the few ways to structurally overcome that.

When traditional assets fall together, true diversification means owning different return drivers — not just different assets.
