About

A diversified real-asset mix to help against inflation and market shocks: small fixed slices of gold, real estate, and TIPS, with the rest in silver, broad commodities, oil, and timber sized by recent volatility. Rebalanced quarterly.
NutHow it works
Owns real-asset ETFs: GLD=gold, VNQ=US real estate, TIP=inflation-linked Treasuries, SLV=silver, PDBC=broad commodities futures, DBO=oil, WOOD=timber/forestry stocks. Fixed: 5% GLD, 15% VNQ, 10% TIP. The other 70% goes to SLV/PDBC/DBO/WOOD based on 60-day volatility—calmer gets more, jumpier less. Rebalanced quarterly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Inflation-hedging real-asset mix offering diversification and capital protection. Out-of-sample drawdown around 20% (better than the S&P), solid risk-adjusted returns, and modest beta—designed to weather inflation shocks while preserving growth.

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.
