About
A rules-based, all-weather mix of stocks, bonds, gold/commodities, dollar, and a volatility hedge. It rides trends, buys select dips in tech when conditions allow, and defends with Treasuries, dollar, or volatility when markets weaken.
Your money is split into 5 sleeves and rebalanced daily.
1) Crash protection: turns a volatility hedge on when markets look overheated; may buy tech on big dips; otherwise sits in gold/short Treasuries/US dollar.
2) Trend/momentum: owns recent winners among stocks, bonds, gold, commodities, or cash.
3) Fiat alternatives: picks whichever of gold, commodities, dollar, or cash looks best.
4) Growth: adds or trims stock risk (and sometimes buys dips) using simple “trend/calm/overheated/oversold” checks; can rotate into defensive stocks or go short in stress.
5) Interest‑rates: flips between long or short Treasuries and/or the US dollar based on rate trends.
Out-of-sample, this all-weather strategy targets ~32% annual return with Sharpe ~1.84, beta ~0.82, and max drawdown ~14.5%, delivering stronger risk-adjusted performance and downside protection versus the S&P 500 through diversification and hedges.
