About

A high-risk, levered mix of stock and bond bets using 3x ETFs (UPRO, TMF) plus income/bond exposure (PFF, VGIT); fixed weights with no automatic rebalance; designed for aggressive, short-term bets rather than long-term stability.
NutHow it works
This portfolio splits 100% of capital into four ETFs with fixed weights: 33% UPRO (3x daily move on the S&P 500), 17% PFF (preferred stocks/income), 33% TMF (3x daily move on long-term Treasuries), 17% VGIT (intermediate Treasuries). Leveraged ETFs amplify daily returns (and losses). No automatic rebalancing is used, so weights stay constant unless you change them manually. The plan aims for aggressive growth and diversified exposure to both stock and bond markets, but hinges on favorable daily moves; in many market environments it can underperform traditional, unleveraged strategies and can experience large drawdowns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Fixed-weight, multi-asset strategy (leverage on equities and bonds) with strong risk-adjusted performance (OOS Calmar 1.22) and market-like beta. Diversifies away from pure S&P bets, offering steady risk management and disciplined exposure.

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.
