About
80% core in income‑focused US stocks (JEPI) and diversifying managed‑futures (DBMF). A 20% sleeve buys leveraged tech (TQQQ) only when QQQ’s trend is up; otherwise that 20% stays in the core. Rebalanced monthly.
Each month it holds a core: 40% JEPI (large US stocks using options to pay income, steadier than the market) and 40% DBMF (trend‑following futures across rates, currencies, and commodities that diversify stocks). The last 20% is tactical: it buys TQQQ (a 3× version of the tech‑heavy QQQ index) only when QQQ’s average price over the last 20 days is above its 150‑day average—a simple sign of an uptrend. Otherwise that 20% is added back to JEPI and DBMF.
Out-of-sample edge: 20.32% annualized return, 16.70% max drawdown; Sharpe ~1.33; Calmar ~1.22; beta ~0.87—lower risk and stronger risk-adjusted return vs S&P. Core (JEPI+DBMF) + selective TQQQ uptrend tilt.
