788: Alex Krainer: How To Navigate Trends Profitably

My guest in this episode is Alex Krainer. Alex is the founder of
Krainer Analytics and creator of I-System Trend Following. He has
worked as a market analyst, researcher, trader and hedge fund
manager since 1996. Alex was born and raised in a socialist
regime of former Yugoslavia, under one-party communist rule. As a
17-year old he joined a student exchange program and took up his
university studies there, ultimately transferring to Switzerland
on a scholarship where he completed a degree in Business and
Economics. From Switzerland his path led him to Venezuela where
he lived for a year and experienced his first banking crisis in
1994 when 9 of Venezuela’s 16 largest banks failed and brought
the country’s economy to a grinding halt. The same year he
returned to Croatia and joined the military where he served
through 1995 during the last phases of Croatia’s war of
independence. In 1996, upon discharge from the military, Alex
took employment at an oil trading company in Monaco. In 1998 he
became the head of risk and CEO in 2000. Alex had originated the
firm’s research and development program in market analysis and
application of neural networks and artificial intelligence in
trading of financial and commodities markets. By 2007 Alex
launched his own investment management business and was among the
small minority of managers who generated positive investment
returns (+27%) during the 2008 financial crisis. Over the
following six years, his fund outperformed the Dow Jones Credit
Suisse index of Blue Chip commodity futures trading funds. In
2011 Alex Joined Lee Robinson’s Altana Wealth to manage the
firm’s inflation hedging strategy. In 2019 Alex created Altana
Wealth’s systematic portfolio allocation strategy designed to
bridge the gap between technology and finance. In more recent
years, Alex also busied himself as an author. He published his
first book “Mastering Uncertainty in Commodities Trading” in
2015. In 2021 this book was selected as #1 on
Financial-Expert.co.uk’s list of “The 5 Best Commodities Books
for Investors and Traders.” In 2017 he published “The Grand
Deception” which is available exclusively from the RedPill Press.
In 2021 he published “Alex Krainer’s Trend Following Bible.”
