About

A global, low-cost 11‑ETF portfolio: 50% stocks, 40% bonds, 10% gold/commodities (with 5% real estate inside the stock slice). Broad, simple diversification; most funds chosen for low fees, with global bonds and commodities picked for stronger records.
NutHow it works
It’s a set-and-hold mix built for broad diversification. Targets: 50% stocks (big and small US, developed countries outside the US, and emerging markets) including 5% real estate; 40% bonds (US Treasuries, broad US, global, and some higher-yield corporates); 10% inflation hedges (gold and a broad basket of commodities). Funds are mostly low-fee; two picks were chosen for stronger past results. Rebalance back to these targets over time.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample: Global 50/40/10 ETF mix delivers ~18.3% annualized return vs 16.2% S&P, with smaller drawdown (8.6% vs 18.8%) and better Sharpe (1.84 vs 0.88). Simple, low-cost, diversified, buy-and-hold strategy.

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.
