CheckmarkValue prop
Ex-US, rules-based portfolio tilting to Israel/India/Middle East/Argentina with a small factor sleeve. Out-of-sample testing shows stronger risk-adjusted returns and lower correlation to the S&P 500, aided by disciplined quarterly rebalancing.

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.
