About

A quarterly rebalanced basket of real assets—gold, silver, real estate, oil, timber, diversified commodities, and inflation‑linked bonds. It locks in small core stakes, then tilts the rest toward the least jumpy assets to spread risk.
NutHow it works
It holds 7 ETFs: GLD=gold, VNQ=real estate, TIP=inflation‑protected U.S. bonds, SLV=silver, PDBC=diversified commodities, DBO=oil, WOOD=timber/forestry stocks. Each quarter it rebalances: 5% GLD, 15% VNQ, 10% TIP are fixed. The rest goes to SLV/PDBC/DBO/WOOD based on the last ~60 days: calmer prices get more, jumpier ones get less.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this real-asset mix caps drawdown (19.9% vs SPY 22.1%), runs with low beta (~0.30), and adds inflation hedges, delivering steadier, risk-aware growth and diversification when stocks wobble—even if raw returns lag the S&P in bull markets.

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.
