Andreas Clenow's 2025 Biography
About Andreas Clenow
A Swedish national based in Zurich, Switzerland, Andreas has had the pleasure of taking part in several hedge fund enterprises. Having been a co-founder and partner of both onshore and offshore hedge funds, he’s had quite an interesting ride so far. With a grounding both in trading, quant modelling and programming, his core strength lay within cross asset quantitative trading.
Located in Switzerland since 2002, he currently trades futures and equities for individual accounts as well as hedge funds. His career started out as a magazine salesman at age ten and continued with his first company start-up as a teenager, where he provided consultancy services in computer security solutions, enterprise networking and programming during his university studies.
He later joined Reuters Consulting in Stockholm as Nordic Manager for Analytics Consulting division, covering Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and the Baltics. After an offer from the Reuters European HQ, he moved to Geneva as Global Head of Equity and Commodity Analytics Modelling and later Global Head of Institutional Charting and Technical Analysis before he left to start up his first small hedge fund with initial seed money of around 30 million dollars and I has been expanding in the hedge fund space ever since.
His first book, Following the Trend, quickly became an international best seller.
