About

A simple three-stock equity plan (AAPL 40%, MSFT 30%, GOOGL 30%) with a 2% drift tolerance, but currently no automatic rebalancing. Concentrated exposure to tech; the playful name implies higher risk.
NutHow it works
You’re holding three big U.S. companies as your equity portion: Apple 40%, Microsoft 30%, Alphabet 30%. A 2% drift tolerance exists in the idea of rebalancing, meaning if the actual shares diverge by more than 2 percentage points from their targets, a rebalance would normally bring them back to 40/30/30. But in this setup, rebalance is set to none, so no automatic adjustment happens. The plan is named humorously as “Dumpster Fire” and uses USD-denominated stock tickers. Since this is a small, focused portfolio, performance is tied to these three companies and lacks broad diversification.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample performance suggests a high-conviction, tech-heavy strategy beating the S&P on risk-adjusted return: Sharpe ~1.90 vs 1.37, annualized return ~53% vs ~7–12%, Calmar ~3.17, with drawdowns ~16.7%.

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.
