About

Balanced 3‑ETF portfolio: global stocks (VT) for growth, long U.S. Treasuries (EDV) for crash/deflation defense, and physical gold (SGOL) for inflation and crisis protection. Goal: a smoother ride across many economic climates.
NutHow it works
A simple 3‑fund mix meant to hold up in many environments. 40% VT = almost every stock worldwide (growth; big ups/downs). 30% EDV = very long‑term U.S. Treasury bonds (often rise in recessions; fall when rates rise). 30% SGOL = fund holding physical gold (inflation/crisis hedge). Rebalance to 40/30/30; in practice do it monthly/quarterly to limit costs.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 33.42% annualized return, Sharpe 3.21x, Calmar 10.14, drawdown 3.30% vs 5.07%. Beta ~0.54. 40/30/30 mix (VT/EDV/SGOL) provides smoother, inflation-ready growth vs 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.
