About

A rules-based portfolio that rides tech-led uptrends, buys select dips, and quickly shifts to gold, dollar, and bonds when risk rises. A bond sleeve adapts to interest-rate regimes (including levered bonds), and a gold-heavy safety sleeve preserves capital.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into 3 jobs: Growth (~40%), Yield (~35%), Preservation (~25%). Growth rides tech uptrends (QLD/TQQQ) and may buy sharp dips; if markets turn jumpy, it shifts to gold, dollar, staples, or cash‑like bonds. Yield rotates among Treasuries, corporates, TIPS (and sometimes 3x Treasuries or dollar/short‑bond hedges) based on rate trend/volatility. Preservation always owns some gold and otherwise holds the strongest of stocks, bonds, commodities, the dollar, or cash.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample Sharpe: 1.56 vs SPY 1.43; drawdowns 9.2% vs 18.8%; Calmar 2.43; returns ~22.42% vs 22.80% with positive alpha. A dynamic, multi-asset strategy that grows with trends yet preserves capital in turmoil.

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.
