About

An aggressive spin on the classic Permanent Portfolio: 3x stocks and 3x long Treasuries plus gold and variable‑rate preferreds. It aims to have a winner in many environments, but daily‑reset leverage means much bigger ups and downs.
NutHow it works
Hold four funds at fixed targets: 25% UPRO (aims for ~3x the S&P 500’s daily move), 27.5% TMF (~3x daily move of long-term U.S. Treasuries), 25% PFFV (variable‑rate preferred shares, mostly big banks), 22.5% GLDM (gold). No automatic rebalancing. Leverage boosts both gains and losses.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P: ~33.5% annualized vs 29.3%, Sharpe 1.70 vs 1.41, lower drawdown, and Calmar ~2.56, with diversified exposure to stocks, long Treasuries, gold, and preferreds.

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.
