About

A diversified, income‑focused mix of ETFs/CEF spanning credit, pipelines, real estate, and financials. It targets high, recurring cash distributions and rebalances quarterly. Main risks: credit, interest rates, energy infrastructure, and leverage.
NutHow it works
It aims for steady cash payouts by holding income‑heavy funds: 20% TPYP (pipelines), 20% BIZD (BDCs), and 10% each of CDX (hedged high‑yield bonds), HYBL (loans/bonds), KBWD (high‑div financials), KBWY (REITs), AMLP (MLPs), RA (real assets CEF). It collects dividends and rebalances to these weights every quarter. No market timing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this income-focused sleeve delivers steadier cash flow with lower downside: oos max drawdown 11.9% vs SPY ~18.8%, and lower volatility, offering a more reliable income path when stocks swing.

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.
