About

A 15% emerging‑markets sleeve that uses two VWO trend checks. When a check is positive, it rotates into the two best‑performing EM ETFs; when not, it holds broad EM (EEM). Daily rebalanced, long‑only EM exposure.
NutHow it works
Allocates 15% of the portfolio to emerging‑market stocks. Each day it checks if a broad EM fund (VWO) is trending up by comparing recent price to a longer‑term average (25 vs 100 days, and 50 vs 200). For each test that’s positive, half of this sleeve buys the two EM ETFs with the best 1‑week performance (from VWO, EMXC ex‑China, SCHE, EEM, IEMG). If a test is negative, that half holds broad EM via EEM.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 15% EM sleeve with dual trend checks targets near-SPY upside with lower risk: beta ~0.70, max drawdown ~17.9%, annualized ~20.1% vs S&P ~21.4%, Calmar ~1.12. Diversified EM exposure with tighter downside.

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.
