About
Rules-based, concentrated long/short. Holds one 3× bull ETF (55%) and one 3× bear ETF (45%) only when their trend looks better than KMLM; otherwise parks in KMLM (managed futures). Seeks steady returns with low correlation to broad stocks.
The portfolio is 55% “long” and 45% “short.”
Long side: picks ONE 3× bull fund (TNA small-caps, DRN real estate, LABU biotech, HIBL high‑beta, FNGU/FNGG Big Tech, UDOW Dow) only if its 20‑day strength score (RSI: 0–100; higher=stronger) beats KMLM’s 10‑day RSI; else it holds KMLM (a diversifying managed‑futures ETF).
Short side: similarly checks 3× bear funds (TZA, DRV, LABD, HIBS, FNGD, SDOW) with a “switch”; if off, it also parks in KMLM. It then holds just ONE short candidate, chosen by highest recent volatility. Aim: be slightly net long, but resilient in selloffs via KMLM and selective short exposure.
Rules-based long/short strategy for diversification and downside resilience, with a low stock beta (~0.44) and a managed-futures gate. Out-of-sample results show negative returns and bigger drawdowns vs the S&P—use as a diversification sleeve, not core equity.
