Bernard Drury launched the Diversified Trend-Following Program in May, 1997. Educated at Dartmouth College (BA 1978) and the University of Chicago (MBA 1993), Bernie worked in the grain markets beginning in 1978, before shifting his focus to system development in the late 1990’s. These early experiences had included positions at Louis Dreyfus Corporation, Commodities Corporation, and Goldman Sachs Princeton. He came to believe that a model-based approach, rigorously researched and applied to a broadly diversified portfolio, would have more enduring value than would the skills of a discretionary trader in a single sector. Thus he set out to establish a process-oriented business built on professionalism, integrity, thoroughness of research and precision in execution.
