Trendrating
About Trendrating
Conventional data, old methodologies, and out-of-date investment processes, cannot capture changing market dynamics and struggle to grasp actual price trends. Deciphering trends is the main driver for performance maximization and risk control. The new forces driving price trends result in fundamentals having a declining impact. Acknowledging and evaluating the true direction and quality of trends is what most underperforming fund managers ignore.
Trendrating enhances the process of investment analysis and management with well-validated, state-of-the-art technology that generates ratings data and advanced analytics on over 17,000 global equities, ETFs, Countries, Sectors and Industries. The results are measurable, actionable, and published publicly on a monthly basis. Our multi-factor model allows portfolio managers to validate existing holdings using a “Trend Validation” that is over 70 percent accurate. Trendrating also provides a flexible interface to construct custom portfolios combining Value, Growth and Trendrating’s proprietary scoring system to invest in the strongest trends in your desired universe.
Trendrating has been servicing over 200 asset managers, investment advisors, banks and wealth managers globally since 2014 and is a partner of Bloomberg and Euronext. Trendrating is headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland with regional offices in London and Boston.

Alpha Dog ETF
Alpha Dog ETF investment objective is capital appreciation. We begin by determining which sectors are leading the markets higher. The system then extracts what we believe to be the leading stocks of leading sectors, holding positions for as long as this remains true. We have a clear bias towards innovative and disruptive companies that we believe are emerging and displacing the old guard. As tactical investment managers, our strategy seeks to capture above average returns with lower levels of risk. The active management overlay allows us to purchase or sell option contracts against individual fund positions, in an effort to hedge or enhance short- and long- term returns. Our strategy is simple, and efficient in nature. It employs a range of approaches in an effort to generate premium returns in rising markets and hedge against short term market declines. Our active rules-based approach seeks to create consistent, repeatable results. Our strategies are designed to maximize potential returns in any market environment.
