Ep. 1138: Hugh Hendry Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Hugh Hendry, a former British hedge fund manager and now podcaster. He was the founding partner and chief investment officer of the now defunct hedge fund firm, Eclectica Asset Management. Despite returning 50 percent in his fund's first calendar year, from the revival in the gold price back in 2003, it was not until 5 years later that he began to attract media attention when his fund achieved a 31.2 percent positive return in 2008 during the depths of the financial crisis, earning him a reputation as a contrarian investor. The topic is Trading.
