About

A 4‑sleeve, rules‑based portfolio aiming for low swings and small drawdowns. It rotates among tech, bonds, cash, managed futures, utilities, gold, and a VIX hedge using simple hot/cold readings—adding defense when markets overheat and seeking growth otherwise.
NutHow it works
Your money is split into 4 rule-based sleeves and rebalanced daily. A simple “hot/cold” score (0–100) of recent moves drives choices: very hot (>80) = add hedges; very cold (<30) = buy dips; in‑between = follow trends. The sleeves pick: Staples vs bonds (buy the weaker), Tech vs managed futures (buy the stronger), S&P 500 vs cash guided by a shipping index, and a ‘Four Corners’ sleeve that toggles among tech, Treasuries, cash, utilities, gold, long‑short, and a VIX hedge.
CheckmarkValue prop
Four-sleeve, rules-based strategy hedges in overheated markets and rotates to growth otherwise. Out-of-sample Calmar 2.33 and Sharpe 1.49 deliver strong risk-adjusted returns with lower market beta and controlled drawdowns vs. S&P 500.

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.
