About
Daily, hold 100% in whichever of a consumer‑staples fund or several muni/investment‑grade bond funds has fallen most recently (via a 10‑day “hot vs. cold” score), aiming to catch quick rebounds in defensive assets.
Each day it looks at a tiny watchlist: XLP (consumer‑staples stocks) and several high‑quality bond funds (mostly municipal bonds: BKT, NAN, MMU, PMM, EVN, VBF). It uses a 10‑day “hot vs. cold” score (RSI) and buys the coldest one. 100% goes into that pick, then it rechecks the next day.
Out-of-sample, this defensive rotation beats the S&P: Sharpe 3.54 vs 1.83; annualized return 35.45% vs 21.22%; drawdown 1.68% vs 2.89%; beta ~0.09; Calmar 21.16—higher risk-adjusted returns with far lower market sensitivity.
