If I said, “Trend following trading strategy,” which single asset class would you assume that I am talking about?

When I learned trend following, I was told, “Equities”, or separately, “Most CTA’s are trend followers” (i.e., “Futures”). Can both be true at the same time? Or, alternately at different times within the same strategy? What about other asset classes too?

Enter the concept of “Tactical Asset Allocation” as explained by Quantpedia.com. The “Quantpedia Explains” trading strategy video series continues with an explanation of "Asset Class Trend-Following", on the basis of the research paper "A Quantitative Approach to Tactical Asset Allocation".
