About

A rules-based portfolio mixing US blue‑chip stocks with rotating bond, gold, dollar, and commodity exposures. It follows trends, watches volatility, and shifts to safer assets in rough markets. It may use leveraged Treasury funds (TMF/TMV) tactically.
NutHow it works
Three-part, rules-based mix. 1) Growth: equal-weight big US stocks (AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, etc.). 2) Bonds/defense: rotates among Treasuries (short/long), TIPS, gold (GLD), US dollar (UUP), and defensive stocks. If long‑Treasury moves are calm it uses a 3x long‑Treasury fund (TMF); if jumpy it parks in short Treasuries/USD/gold. 3) Preservation: trend‑follows recent winners, adds extra gold, and may short long Treasuries (TMV) when bond swings are high. Signals use recent performance, volatility, and drawdowns.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this multi-asset strategy delivers superior risk-adjusted returns vs the S&P: Sharpe 2.15 vs 1.35, max drawdown 7.49% vs 18.76%, Calmar 2.31, and 17.32% annualized return—driving smoother growth with downside protection.

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.
