Summary
The philosophy of technical analysis, and trend following and momentum in particular, is more aligned with the core philosophy of fundamental analysis than most investors appreciate. In this discussion, David will outline the strong links between the two forms of analysis and demonstrate how fundamental managers can rely on technical analysis to improve risk management, scale idea generation, and driving important, often uncomfortable conversations among investment teams.
