The Trend Asset Allocation Model is an asset allocation model that applies trend-following principles based on the inputs of global stock and commodity prices. This model has a shorter time horizon and tends to turn over about 4-6 times a year.

Good news, bad news
The tactical news is the short-term technical picture hasn’t changed very much in in the last few weeks. The market is still choppy and range-bound.
