About

80% precious metals (gold, silver, platinum and miners) plus 20% emerging‑market stocks, kept at set weights with daily rebalancing. A focused bet on inflation, weak USD, and commodity strength; expect big ups and downs.
NutHow it works
Buys six ETFs and keeps fixed weights by rebalancing daily: 42% GLD (tracks gold’s price), 11% SLV (silver), 11% PPLT (platinum), 10% GDX (gold‑mining stocks), 6% SIL (silver‑mining stocks), 20% EEM (emerging‑market stocks). No timing. Tends to benefit from inflation/weak USD/commodity upcycles; can be volatile when rates rise or the dollar strengthens.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample results show the 80/20 metals-EM tilt outperforming the S&P 500 in inflation/weak-dollar cycles, delivering inflation hedging and commodity-cycle upside; daily rebalancing enforces macro bet, with higher volatility for growth.

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.
