About

A simple contrarian switch between Asia‑Pacific (IPAC) and Europe (IEUR): compare last 30‑day returns and invest 100% in the recent underperformer, aiming to profit from a rebound.
NutHow it works
It compares the last ~30 trading days of performance for two broad stock funds: IPAC (Asia‑Pacific: Japan, Australia, etc.) and IEUR (Europe: UK, France, Germany, Switzerland). It puts 100% into whichever did worse, expecting a rebound. Both hold many sectors (financials, industrials, consumer, health care). Chosen as low‑cost, broad “core” region funds.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~26.5% annualized return vs 16.3% for the S&P, higher risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ~1.50 vs ~0.92), lower max drawdown (~13.4% vs ~18.8%), and beta ~0.69. APAC–Europe mean-reversion aims higher upside with lower risk.

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.
