About

A rules-based, all-weather portfolio: core stocks+bonds, a gold/managed-futures hedge, sector rotation, value stocks, and commodity sleeves that step to T‑Bills when trends weaken. Uses low-cost, K‑1‑free ETFs where possible.
NutHow it works
- 15%: Core stocks+bonds in one fund (NTSX). - 25%: A hedge split between gold (FGDL) and managed futures (CTA); the calmer one lately gets more weight. - 25%: Own the 2 best‑performing US sectors over ~200 days (from Vanguard sector funds). - 20%: Value‑focused stock funds (US + international), sized by recent steadiness. - 15%: 7 commodity themes held only if they beat T‑Bills over ~42 days; otherwise sit in T‑Bills (SGOV). - Rebalance if weights drift >2%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Outside-sample edge: this strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted growth vs the S&P: oos return 61% vs 9%, oos Sharpe 5.34 vs 0.93, drawdown 1.47% vs 2.53%, beta 0.65. Diversified sleeves pursue durable upside with lower risk.

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.
