We invest in ‘motion’
Transtrend is a Dutch investment manager specializing in the design and implementation of systematic trading strategies. As a systematic trend follower, Transtrend ranks among the world’s leading asset managers in its class. Our way of trading is the result of more than 30 years of experience in quantitative market research and asset management for our clients — it is the result of actively moving with the markets.
Our world is characterized by change, uncertainty, and opportunities where things are in motion. With our Diversified Trend Program, we closely monitor price fluctuations in hundreds of commodity and financial markets globally. This involves a deluge of data. A subtle interplay between markets, mathematics, and above all, human creativity, makes it possible to uncover the story behind this data, identify promising price patterns, and dynamically participate in them.
“In the past lies the present, and in the now, what will be.”
30 years of looking forward

While the competition and prizes are no longer active, solving the puzzles now is a great way to get ready for the next edition. Have fun exploring — and see you again in December!
Quant investment firm of the year
In 2022, Transtrend was named "Quant investment firm of the year” at the Risk Awards — a very welcome recognition for our team and our Diversified Trend Program. The associated interview with Risk.net offers further insight into our distinct approach to trend following. “A trend is not a price moving from A to B, a trend is something happening in society.”
More information on the award is available here.
