About

A buy‑and‑hold basket of dividend‑oriented stock ETFs, mostly US with some international, plus small tilts to cash‑flow and momentum. Aims for ongoing dividend income and diversified equity exposure without active trading.
NutHow it works
It splits your money equally across many dividend-focused stock ETFs—mostly US, with a few international funds. It also adds two “cash‑flow” funds (COWZ, FLOW) and a momentum fund (MTUM) for balance. There’s no market timing and no auto‑rebalancing; it’s buy‑and‑hold.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified dividend ETF basket with buy‑and‑hold. Out-of-sample, higher risk-adjusted return (Sharpe ~1.25 vs ~1.22), lower drawdown (14.2% vs 18.8%), and lower beta (~0.64) — income with less market risk than the S&P 500.

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.
