About

A simple 3-ETF “Neapolitan” mix: 40% global stocks (VT), 30% long-term U.S. Treasuries (EDV), 30% physical gold (SGOL). Balances growth, deflation, and inflation risks, with periodic rebalancing to smooth the ride.
NutHow it works
Think of three scoops: growth, safety, and crisis insurance. - 40% in almost all stocks worldwide (VT) for growth. - 30% in very long-term U.S. government bonds (EDV) to cushion recessions when rates fall. - 30% in gold bars (SGOL) to help in inflation and shocks. Rebalance back to 40/30/30 over time.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 40/30/30 mix posts ~33% annualized return with Sharpe ~3.21, lower drawdown (~3.3% vs ~5.1%), and beta ~0.54—delivering stronger, more resilient returns than the S&P 500.

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.
