About

A rules-based, diversified portfolio that leans into stocks when trends look healthy and shifts to safe havens when they don’t. It blends tech, sectors, value, commodities, gold, the dollar, bonds, and managed futures, with selective use of leveraged ETFs.
NutHow it works
It splits money across several rule-based sleeves. Calm markets: push into growth (big tech, S&P 500, financials—sometimes with 2–3x funds). Stress: move to safety (short‑term Treasuries, gold, the US dollar). Separate sleeves trend‑trade oil/commodities, pick strong sectors, hold dividend/value funds, and add a managed‑futures hedge. Position sizes favor steadier assets.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~1.52 vs ~1.41, Calmar ~1.46, drawdown halved (18.8% → 11.3%), beta ~0.6. A diversified, trend-based sleeve strategy delivering stronger risk-adjusted returns and better downside protection than the S&P 500.

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.
