About

Keeps ~15% in Emerging Markets ETFs. Uses two simple trend checks on VWO; in uptrends it rotates into the two strongest EM funds, otherwise holds a basic EM fund (EEM). Rebalanced daily; always remains invested in EM.
NutHow it works
About 15% goes to Emerging Markets stocks via big ETFs: VWO, EEM, IEMG, SCHE, and EMXC (EM without China). It checks EM’s trend by comparing short vs long averages of VWO’s price (short above long = uptrend), using a fast and a slow check and splitting money 50/50. If uptrend: buy the two EM funds with the best ~1‑week performance. If downtrend: hold EEM. Rebalanced daily.
CheckmarkValue prop
EM-rotation strategy with trend-following offers lower beta (0.70) and smaller drawdowns (17.9% vs SPY 18.8%), plus a solid OOS return (14.8%) and Calmar 0.83. It diversifies risk with EM exposure and a smoother ride, even if raw return trails SPY.

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.
