About

A daily‑rebalanced portfolio of Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and Tesla that gives more weight to steadier stocks and less to jumpier ones, aiming to reduce ups and downs while staying concentrated in big US tech/growth.
NutHow it works
Owns five giants—Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and Tesla. Each day it checks the past 30 days to see how “jumpy” each stock has been. Calmer stocks get bigger weights; jumpier ones get smaller. Then it rebalances daily. Result: a tech‑heavy US mega‑cap portfolio that tries to smooth the ride.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~55.5% annualized return vs SPY ~28.3%; Sharpe ~1.85 vs ~1.37; Calmar ~3.40. Slightly larger drawdown (~16.4% vs ~13.7%), but far stronger risk-adjusted growth in a concentrated mega-cap tech sleeve.

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.
