The SG Trend Index (f.k.a. SG Trend-Sub Index) is designed to track the 10 largest (by AUM) trend following CTAs and be representative
of the trendfollowers in the managed futures space. Managers must meet the following criteria:
- Must be open to new investment
- Must report returns on a daily basis
- Must be an industry recognized trend follower as determined at the discretion of the SG IndexCommittee
- Must exhibit significant correlation to trend following peers and the SG Trend Indicator
The SG Trend Index is equally weighted, and rebalanced and reconstituted annually.
