About

A simple buy-and-hold: invest 100% in SPY, which tracks the S&P 500. No timing or rebalancing—broad exposure to large U.S. companies and dividends at low cost.
NutHow it works
Put 100% of the portfolio into SPY, an ETF that mirrors the S&P 500 (about the 500 largest U.S. companies). No timing rules or rebalancing—just buy and hold. Your money is spread across many sectors, with a big chunk in technology and other giants like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, Google, and Meta. Expect market-like ups and downs, quarterly dividends, and low ongoing fees.
CheckmarkValue prop

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.
