About

A simple daily switch between U.S. stocks (SPY) and developed Asia-Pacific stocks (IPAC) based on which did better over the past 30 days—100% in the recent winner, flipping when leadership changes.
NutHow it works
Each day it compares the last 30 days of performance for two broad stock funds: SPY (large U.S. companies) and IPAC (developed Pacific markets like Japan and Australia). If SPY did better, it holds SPY; otherwise it holds IPAC. It stays 100% in the current leader and switches when that changes.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 100% winner-switch strategy (SPY vs IPAC) beats the S&P 500 on risk-adjusted terms: ~23% annualized return vs ~16%, drawdowns ~13.4% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~1.74. Simple, rules-based leadership capture.

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.
