About

A rules-based, non‑US stock mix with big tilts to Israel, India, Saudi/UAE, and Argentina, plus SE Asia/Korea and a small style sleeve (value, momentum, quality). Rebalanced quarterly to stay on target and diversify sectors and regions.
NutHow it works
It puts fixed percentages into non‑US stock funds, then rebalances each quarter. Big sleeves: Israel 15% (IZRL 60%, ITEQ 40%); India 20% (IMVP 60%; NDIA/GLIN/SMIN/INDY/INDH split the rest); Middle East 15% (KSA, UAE equally); Factors 10% (IVLU 20%, IMTM 40%, IQLT 40%). Plus ARGT 15%; ASEA/EWY/EWM share 10%; ENZL 5%; TBLU 5%; EWC 2.5%; EPOL 2.5%. Value=cheaper, Momentum=recent winners, Quality=financially strong.
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.
