About
Holds 10 major NASDAQ names when each is trending up; otherwise that stock’s slice shifts to a defensive mix of Treasuries (TLT), gold (GLD), and real estate (VNQ). Equal‑weighted across 10 slots, checked and rebalanced daily.
The portfolio has 10 equal “slots” for: Apple, Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta, Netflix, Adobe, Intel. Each day, for each stock: if its ~50‑day average price is above its ~200‑day average (an uptrend), that 10% holds the stock. If not, that 10% goes 33% TLT (long‑term US Treasuries), 33% GLD (gold), 34% VNQ (US real estate).
Out-of-sample, this strategy shows risk-adjusted appeal: Sharpe 0.68, Calmar 0.62, 11.98% annualized return, 19.43% max drawdown, beta 0.80. Captures mega-cap upside with a defensive mix to dampen risk vs the S&P 500.
