About

A simple monthly “winner‑take‑all” rotation among TLT (long US Treasuries), MDY (US mid‑caps), EFA (developed international), and EEM (emerging markets). It buys the 3‑month top performer to ride trends and can switch each month.
NutHow it works
Each month it compares four funds—TLT (long‑term US Treasuries), MDY (US mid‑cap stocks), EFA (developed international stocks), EEM (emerging‑market stocks). It buys the one with the best return over the last 3 months and holds it for a month, then rechecks. Idea: recent winners may keep winning. Risks: one‑fund-at‑a‑time, reversals, EM/currency risk, long‑bond rate risk.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, rules-based momentum rotation across four assets with a low market beta (~0.71). Monthly switching is simple and adds diversification, serving as a complementary, risk-aware balance to 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.
