About
A barbell: 55% in T‑bills for safety and yield, plus 45% split into high‑octane bets—3x semiconductors, short VIX futures, and 3x short long Treasuries. No rebalancing. Can soar in calm, chip‑led rallies but is vulnerable during market panics.
It’s a static basket. Target mix: 55% in short‑term T‑bills (cash-like), 24.75% in a 3x fund tied to semiconductor stocks, 16.2% in a fund that profits when market volatility (VIX futures) falls, and 4.05% in a 3x fund that gains when long‑term Treasury prices drop. No rebalancing.
It’s a barbell: a big cash cushion plus small but high‑octane bets.
Out-of-sample: ~28.7% annualized return vs SPY's ~21.8%, Sharpe ~1, Calmar ~0.74. A 55% cash barbell with semis and short-vol seeks big upside in rallies, but with higher drawdown (~38.7% vs SPY ~18.8%).
