About
Monthly momentum that builds six ETF baskets and buys the two with the best ~3‑month gains, splitting 50/50. Inside each basket, steadier ETFs get larger weights. It can rotate among stocks, bonds, metals, and even 2x/3x growth funds.
Each month:
- Build 6 baskets: US stocks (VOO/VTI/VXUS/VT); Treasuries (SHY/IEF/TLT/SCHP); leveraged growth (TQQQ/UPRO/TECL/semis 2x); precious metals (GLD/SLV/GLTR/DBP); low-vol US stocks (SPLV/USMV/XRLV/LGLV); 2x growth (QLD/SSO/ROM/LTL).
- Inside each basket, give bigger weights to steadier ETFs.
- Look back ~3 months; buy the two baskets with the best returns, 50/50. Rebalance monthly. Can own volatile leveraged funds when they lead.
Out-of-sample Sharpe ~5.86 vs ~1.42 for the S&P, with a Calmar edge and stronger risk-adjusted gains. A monthly six-sleeve momentum strategy rotates among leaders (bonds, equities, metals) to deliver superior long-run performance vs the S&P 500.
