About

A barbell: 60% high-octane stock exposure sized by recent volatility, balanced by 40% diversifiers (managed futures, anti-beta, gold) to cushion selloffs. Aims to ride equity uptrends while softening big drawdowns; rebalanced monthly.
NutHow it works
60% in stock funds that move more than the market: SSO (2x S&P 500), QLD (2x Nasdaq-100), and momentum stock funds for the U.S., emerging, and overseas markets (SPMO, EEMO, IDMO). Lower-vol funds get bigger weights (last 28 days). 40% in shock absorbers: trend-following managed-futures funds (DBMF, CTA, KMLM, FLSP, plus crash-hedge CAOS), an anti-beta long/short stock fund (BTAL), and gold (GLD). Rebalanced monthly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe 2.13 vs S&P 1.44; drawdown 10.33% vs 13.73%; annualized return ~29.66% vs 30.09%; Calmar 2.87 signaling strong risk-adjusted gains. A 60/40 barbell blends equity upside with hedges (futures, anti-beta, gold) to weather drawdowns.

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.
