About

An 80% RSP (equal-weight S&P 500) and 20% SPY (standard S&P 500) mix, rebalanced yearly. It reduces reliance on mega-cap Tech and spreads bets across all S&P 500 companies. Helps when the broader market leads; lags when mega-caps dominate.
NutHow it works
- Own two S&P 500 funds in a fixed mix: 80% RSP and 20% SPY. - SPY gives more weight to the biggest companies (like Apple, Microsoft). - RSP gives each S&P 500 company the same-sized slice, so less is tied to the giants and more to the rest. - Once a year, reset back to 80/20.
CheckmarkValue prop
80/20 equal-weight S&P 500 mix (RSP/SPY). Out-of-sample results show reduced mega-cap dependence and broader stock exposure, delivering steadier diversification and breadth-driven upside vs SPY—though it may lag during mega-cap rallies.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
