From Turtle to Titan: Trend Following with Jerry Parker

In this episode, Damanick Dantes, CMT, founder and portfolio manager at Dantes Outlook, sits down with Jerry Parker, founder of Chesapeake Capital and one of the original Turtle Traders selected by Richard Dennis in 1983. With more than four decades of experience in systematic trend following, Jerry shares insights on risk control, diversification, and why discipline is the foundation of durable performance.

The conversation explores how trend following behaves across market regimes, the role of dispersion in today’s environment, and how advisors and portfolio managers can thoughtfully integrate systematic strategies into diversified portfolios.
