About

A simple, globally diversified 11‑ETF portfolio: 45% stocks, 40% bonds, 15% real assets (gold, commodities, real estate). Funds are mostly low‑cost and broad; two tilt toward strong past results. Built to smooth ups and downs over time.
NutHow it works
It spreads your money across the world and across different “jobs” for your money. Target mix: 45% stocks (US large 20, US small 5, developed ex‑US 10, emerging 10), 40% bonds (US Treasuries 10, US core investment‑grade 10, international bonds 10, US high‑yield 10), and 15% real assets (gold 5, broad commodities 5, US real estate 5). Most funds were picked for low fees and broad coverage; two were picked for stronger past performance. Buy and hold; check drift.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 11-ETF global portfolio offers ~19.97% annualized return vs S&P ~16.40%, far lower max drawdown (~8.62% vs ~18.76%), and stronger Sharpe (~1.99 vs ~0.89)—delivering higher, steadier growth with inflation hedges.

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.
