A related idea explains why cross-sectional momentum strategies on single names are correlated with directional trend-following strategies on futures (e.g. +30% correlation of SG Trend Index with FF momentum factor -- normally even higher for real-world momentum implementations)https://twitter.com/macrocephalopod/status/1369418204263706626 …

Interestingly there is little to no correlation due to trend exposure to equity indices, since this risk is generally hedged in cross-sectional momentum strats (though not always, they can run positive/negative beta exposure and this will generate +ve corr with trend)

Instead it is almost all due to single name correlation with macro factors (currencies, rates, commods) that trend followers explicitly bet on, and cross-sectional momentum strats are betting on implicitly.
