About

Aggressive mix using 3× U.S. stocks (UPRO) and 3× long Treasuries (TMF), plus smaller slices of preferreds (PFF) and intermediate Treasuries (VGIT). Seeks amplified gains with some income ballast. Very volatile; no automatic rebalancing.
NutHow it works
Starts with about 33% in UPRO (tries to move ~3× the S&P 500 each day) and 33% in TMF (tries to move ~3× long U.S. Treasuries). Adds 17% PFF (preferred stocks, income) and 17% VGIT (intermediate Treasuries). No automatic rebalancing; weights can drift.
CheckmarkValue prop
Leveraged stock/bond barbell with income sleeves (UPRO/TMF + PFF/VGIT) aims for upside with diversification. Near-market beta and a Calmar ~1.22 offer solid risk-adjusted returns and income versus the S&P 500, not just raw gains.

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.
