It covers asset allocation, sector and regional equity selection, bond markets, currencies and commodities. We use our measurements and models to manage two funds, and also provide investment strategy ideas to professional investors.<\/p><p>Our investment approach is based on a rules-based interpretation of Value and Price Trends, which we consider to be the two most important measurements for global investing. The importance of Value is self-evident but often markets do not follow Value in the short term \u2013 it is a more important measurement for the medium\/long term, and especially when extreme. Price Trends (including overbought and oversold measurements) are better indicators of future market direction but can be dangerous if Value is ignored (otherwise, for example, one might follow a rising Price Trend into a valuation bubble). Value and Trends work best when combined. We use Trends primarily to dictate whether to be long\/short or over\/underweight, and we use Value primarily to dictate position sizing.<\/p><p>The result is an objective framework for global investing. It is logical and systematic, thus avoiding opinion, emotion and forecasting. It also avoids style bias \u2013 the investment focus changes according to market conditions and opportunity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-54b80a0 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"54b80a0\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c54065\" data-id=\"2c54065\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e94396 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5e94396\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a5423ca elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a5423ca\" data-element_type=\"section\" id=\"team\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e5ec519\" data-id=\"e5ec519\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c085353 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c085353\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Team<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-06c5221 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"06c5221\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f9f2d89\" data-id=\"f9f2d89\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-972a70a eael-team-align-centered elementor-widget elementor-widget-eael-team-member\" data-id=\"972a70a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"eael-team-member.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div id=\"eael-team-member-972a70a\" class=\"eael-team-item eael-team-members-centered team-avatar-rounded\">\n\t\t<div class=\"eael-team-item-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-team-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.farnes.net\/ekins2\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/CE1-qieqlejo7dj33in5q195dlstw1swfk6l1dp4bnaxpk.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"eael-team-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"eael-team-member-name\">Charles Ekins<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"eael-team-member-position\">Founder &amp; CEO<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"eael-team-member-social-profiles\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"eael-team-member-social-link\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/in\/charles-ekins-aba57412\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"eael-team-text\">Charles is the founder and Chief Executive of Ekins Guinness LLP.
