About

A focused, buy-and-hold basket of 9 mostly large U.S. tech/internet companies (heaviest in Amazon and Netflix) plus small stakes in Berkshire and Crocs. Growth-forward, higher volatility, low income, and no automatic rebalancing.
NutHow it works
It buys 9 big U.S. companies and leaves them alone. Starting weights: Amazon 33%, Netflix 21%, Microsoft 13%, Google 12%, Adobe 6%, Salesforce 5%, Apple 5%, Berkshire Hathaway 3%, Crocs 2%. No scheduled rebalancing, so winners grow and laggards shrink. You mainly own tech/internet and some consumer names.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~33% annualized returns vs ~21% for the S&P, and a stronger risk-adjusted profile (Sharpe ~1.41, Calmar ~1.50). A concentrated tech/Internet growth basket offers bigger upside with low turnover—accept higher drawdowns.

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.
