About

A high-leverage, multi-sleeve strategy that chases momentum across sectors and commodities while hedging volatility, with a leveraged core and value tilt. Complex and powerful, but carries high risk if markets move against the positions.
NutHow it works
- The portfolio is built from five sleeves that run in parallel and sum to 100%. - Efficient Core (15%): You get a highly leveraged long exposure to U.S. stocks via UPRO (about 3x the daily movement of the S&P 500). This is the growth engine, but it also magnifies losses if stocks fall. - Volatility Hedge (25%): A hedging layer using UGL (double exposure to gold) and UVXY (double exposure to short-term VIX futures). This sleeve is intended to help when volatility rises or gold acts as a safe-haven, potentially cushioning losses elsewhere. - Sector Momentum (25%): The strategy scans a broad set of sector ETFs and picks the top two performers over about 200 days (cumulative return). Those two sectors are then funded with a combined 25% (split evenly within the sleeve). The idea is to ride the strongest sector trends. - Large Cap Value Plus (20%): Tilt toward value-oriented large-cap ETFs with a focus on mitigating volatility (an inverse-volatility tilt within this sleeve). This sleeve prioritizes value exposure and seeks more defensive characteristics while maintaining leverage intent. - Commodity Momentum (15%): This sleeve covers several commodity families (Agriculture, Base Metals, Oil, Uranium, Timber, Gold, Energy). For each family, it uses a momentum rule: if the commodity’s 42-day momentum exceeds SGOV’s momentum, allocate to the leveraged commodity ETF (e.g., PDBA, AGQ, UCO, URAA, WOOD, UGL, BOIL). If not, allocate to SGOV instead. This creates a dynamic, trend-following approach to commodities while keeping a risk proxy in Treasury exposure when trends weaken. Substitutions (e.g., PDBA for DBA, AGQ for DBB) reflect practical tax and leverage considerations while preserving the intent of a leveraged commodity tilt. - Rebalancing in this design is set to none, so weights stay as defined unless the model is explicitly adjusted; fees, roll costs, and daily leverage compounding can affect long-run results.

Replicate strong out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~5.62 vs SPY 1.54, Calmar ~35.9, and annualized return ~149% vs ~16% for the S&P, with a ~4.16% max drawdown. A diversified, momentum-driven, volatility-hedged core outperforms in unseen markets.

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.
