About

A barbell portfolio: 20% cash; 64% in eight equal growth/theme stocks (AI chips, pharma, solar, lithium, insurance, LNG); 16% in steadier consumer names, Berkshire, and a trend‑following ETF (DBMF). Equal-weight sleeves; buy-and-hold; concentrated but partially cushioned by cash and diversifiers.
NutHow it works
Targets: 20% cash; 80% invested. Of that 80%, 20% goes to a “Sloth” sleeve split equally across Costco, Monster, Ulta, Berkshire, and a trend‑following ETF (DBMF). The other 80% is split equally across 8 stocks: AI chips/supply chain (NVDA, ASML, KLAC), pharma (LLY), solar (ENPH), lithium (SGML), insurance (KNSL), LNG shipping (FLNG). No auto‑rebalancing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 28.3% annualized vs SPY 22.5%, with Calmar ~1.06 and 20% cash cushion. A barbell mix of growth themes and diversifiers targets higher upside with balanced risk vs the S&P, though drawdowns can be larger.

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.
