Trendwatch Asset Management (TAM) is an innovative managed spread betting service designed for private clients. Our investment managers carry out all the trades on individual TAM client accounts. Our primary objective is to make market beating returns, tax-free, for investors, regardless of market conditions, whilst minimising risk. We believe TAM to be the first managed spread betting service in the UK to be made available to retail investors.
TAM evolved from Trendwatch, the highly regarded* investment newsletter founded in 2000. Trendwatch’s share recommendations are based on a combination of trend analysis (using proprietary market-scanning software) and fundamental analysis. Over the years, Trendwatch has built up an impressive market beating simulated performance record (see below). TAM will use the same proven analytical techniques, but with much more flexibility, notably the ability to trade both long and short.

- This table shows that the performance that a Trendwatch client would have seen based on a valuation dated 31 December in each of the years shown.
- You should not interpret these figures as annual gains, since the valuations would include some shares bought in prior years.
- The figures assume that an investor bought every share recommended by Trendwatch during the year in question, continued to hold recommendations bought in prior years and sold shares that breached to stop limits set by Trendwatch. The figures also assume that each share in the notional portfolio has an equal monetary weighting at the date of purchase.
- The ‘Market Gain’ and ‘Out Performance’ figures reflect the performance that would have been achieved had the investor purchased an equivalent sized holding in a UK 100 All-Share tracker fund rather than the Trendwatch recommendation.
- None of the figures in the table include transaction costs such as the bid/offer spreads, brokers’ fees, etc. – but neither do they include dividend income.
- You should bear in mind that these figures are included only to illustrate the ability of the investment managers to beat the market through their stock-picking ability. They are not intended to be any type of forecast or representation of TAM’s future performance. Trendwatch worked under certain self-imposed constraints (for example, three share recommendations bought on the same day regardless of market conditions). TAM will not be working under such constraints. It will not necessarily be long only, and it may well not make long investments if the majority of shares are falling.
