About

A weekly style‑rotation. It checks which did better over ~6 months—growth (VUG) or value (VTV)—then holds an equal‑weighted basket of matching large‑cap stocks. Switches when the leadership changes.
NutHow it works
Every week, it compares the past ~6‑month return of two style funds: VUG (growth) vs VTV (value). If growth led, buy equal amounts of Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, Tesla, NVIDIA, Visa. If value led, buy equal amounts of Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan, Johnson & Johnson, UnitedHealth, Procter & Gamble, Bank of America, Exxon, Intel, Verizon, Comcast. It rechecks weekly and switches as needed.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~33.3% annualized return vs ~23% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.54 vs 1.44; Calmar ~1.17. Weekly growth-vs-value rotation with 6-month momentum offers stronger upside; note drawdowns can be larger (~28%).

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.
