About

A Buffett‑inspired 90/10 mix: 90% in a low‑cost S&P 500 index fund (VOO) for growth, 10% in short‑term U.S. Treasury bonds (VGSH) for stability. Hold long term and rebalance once a year.
NutHow it works
Put 90% of the money in a fund that tracks the S&P 500 (Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, VOO) and 10% in a fund of short‑term U.S. government bonds (Vanguard Short‑Term Treasury ETF, VGSH). Hold it. Once a year, move money between the two to restore the 90/10 split. Dividends are reinvested. No market timing or complex signals.
CheckmarkValue prop
Buffett-inspired 90/10: bigger risk-adjusted gains and smaller drawdowns than the S&P 500, thanks to a 10% Treasuries ballast and annual rebalance. Out-of-sample Sharpe ~0.855 vs 0.824; drawdown ~20.2% vs 22.1%; ~13%/yr.

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.
