About
A daily, rules-based portfolio: growth via leveraged tech/US stocks, a large bond momentum sleeve, a small short‑vol sleeve, and sizable crash hedges. It adds risk when trends are strong, shifts to volatility hedges or T‑bills when stress hits.
Your money is split into 4 rule-driven sleeves: 20% growth (3x tech/QQQ and index funds), 40% bonds (switching between long/short Treasurys or T‑bills), 9% volatility carry, 31% “black swan” hedges/dip-buys. Rules use trend lines (moving averages) and a “hot/cold” gauge (RSI) to add risk in uptrends, hedge or go to T‑bills when stress rises, and buy oversold bounces.
Out-of-sample: ~30.7% annualized return vs ~20.4% for the S&P, Calmar ~1.48 and Sharpe ~1.17, with crash hedges and trend controls. Higher growth, disciplined risk vs the S&P.
