About

A 2× “return-stacked” portfolio: about 100% global stocks, 60% U.S. Treasuries, and 40% diversifiers (managed futures, carry, merger arb, gold, bitcoin) delivered via ETFs that combine multiple exposures, plus a small 2× equity sleeve.
NutHow it works
For every $1 you invest, this aims to hold about $2 of exposure: $1 in global stocks, $0.60 in U.S. government bonds, and $0.40 in diversifiers. It uses funds that bundle two things at once (for example, stocks plus bonds) to “stack” exposures, then adds a small sleeve of funds that move about 2× the stock indexes to finish at a clean 100% stock target. The diversifiers include trend-following, carry, merger deals, gold, and bitcoin.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample shows far higher risk-adjusted returns than the S&P: Sharpe ~3.5x, Calmar ~24x, and ~65% annualized return vs ~13% for the S&P, with modest drawdowns. A 2x equity stack across stocks, bonds, and alts to lift growth and dampen 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.
