About

A concentrated bet on robotics/AI and defense plus a 21% trend-following sleeve that rotates into recent winners, rounded out with Berkshire, dividend growers, small-cap value, commodities, precious metals, and bond hedges.
NutHow it works
Goal: ride the robotics/AI boom with some balance. - Core (~64%): fixed stakes in Tesla, NVIDIA, and funds owning robot makers, chip leaders, and defense contractors. - Trend sleeve (21%): across several timeframes, it ranks a menu of tech/defense funds, short‑term Treasuries, and metals/commodities by recent performance and buys the top 3 for each, equally. - Stabilizers (~15%): Berkshire, dividend growers, small‑cap value, broad commodities, precious metals, and bond hedges. - Rebalances when weights drift ~3%.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~154% annualized return, Sharpe ~6.18, Calmar ~77, and ~2% max drawdown vs S&P. Strong alpha, low market beta, plus a diversified AI/robotics/defense tilt with trend hedges for resilience.

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.
