英文摘要:
  We establish the existence of anomalous excess returns based on trend following strategies across four asset classes (commodities, currencies, stock indices, bonds) and over very long time scales. We use for our studies both futures time series, that exist since 1960, and spot time series that allow us to go back to 1800 on commodities and indices. The overall t-stat of the excess returns is $\\approx 5$ since 1960 and $\\approx 10$ since 1800, after accounting for the overall upward drift of these markets. The effect is very stable, both across time and asset classes. It makes the existence of trends one of the most statistically significant anomalies in financial markets. When analyzing the trend following signal further, we find a clear saturation effect for large signals, suggesting that fundamentalist traders do not attempt to resist \"weak trends\", but step in when their own signal becomes strong enough. Finally, we study the performance of trend following in the recent period. We find no sign of a statistical degradation of long trends, whereas shorter trends have significantly withered.

中文摘要:
我们基于四种资产类别(商品、货币、股票指数、债券)的趋势跟踪策略,在很长的时间范围内,确定异常超额收益的存在。我们在研究中既使用了自1960年以来的期货时间序列,也使用了现货时间序列,使我们能够回到1800年的商品和指数。考虑到这些市场的整体向上漂移,自1960年以来超额收益的总体t-stat约为5美元,自1800年以来约为10美元。这种效应在时间和资产类别上都非常稳定。这使得趋势的存在成为金融市场统计上最显著的异常现象之一。当进一步分析趋势跟踪信号时,我们发现大信号具有明显的饱和效应,这表明原教旨主义交易者并不试图抵制“弱趋势”,而是在自己的信号变得足够强时介入。最后,我们研究了近期趋势跟踪的表现。我们没有发现长期趋势在统计上恶化的迹象,而短期趋势则显著萎缩。
