About

A rules‑based, quarterly‑updated mix of core stocks/bonds (NTSX), value stocks, rotating top US sectors, plus gold, managed futures, and trend‑driven commodities that can shift to T‑bills. Aims for 60/40‑like volatility with smaller drawdowns.
NutHow it works
Five sleeves: - 15% NTSX: US stocks plus Treasuries in one fund. - 25% hedge: gold (GLD) and managed futures (DBMF, trend‑following), tilted to the calmer one. - 25% sector momentum: own the 2 best US sectors by ~200‑day return. - 20% large‑cap value: mix VLUE, FNDX, VTV, RWL. - 15% commodity momentum: in oil, gold, agriculture, metals, uranium, timber, energy, own each only if its ~2‑month return beats T‑bills (SHV); else hold SHV. Updated quarterly.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
