About

A daily-rebalanced, highly rules-based mix of momentum picks across levered ETFs and hedging assets. It separates growth and defense into groups, ranks top performers on multiple lookbacks, rotates among them with equal intra-group weights, and layers in volatility and bond hedges to curb risk. Aimed at capturing upside while limiting drawdowns, it carries substantial complexity and levered risk.
NutHow it works
- Every day the fund rebalances. - It splits its universe into groups that represent different bets (e.g., All-Star Sorts as core momentum across leveraged ETFs; Defense as hedges and safe assets; a biotech-tech focus in BT; other groups look at global or sector themes). - Within each group it ranks assets by momentum measures (moving-average returns, cumulative returns, etc.) over several looking windows (short and long, from about 5 days to 360 days). The top few assets are selected (often the top 1). - Within each group the selected assets are given full weight (equal weighting across the chosen assets in that group). - Across groups, the system allocates across the sleeve signals so the total portfolio is a mix of growth-leaning bets and hedges. - It uses leveraged/inverse ETFs to magnify exposure to favorable trends, and volatility and bond-related ETFs to hedge against market drawdowns, spikes in volatility, or regime shifts. - The risk overlay uses measures like standard deviation of returns and drawdown thresholds to prune or adjust positions, ensuring the strategy has a risk-control layer. - The strategy is multi-asset: equities (levered ETFs), volatility exposure (UVXY/VIXY), bonds (TLT, TMF/TMV, AGG, SHY, IEF), commodity/other exposures (DBC, GLD, EWZ, EEM, LABU/LABD, etc.), and cash proxies (BIL). - The target is to chase upside in trending assets while protecting against downturns with volatility and fixed-income hedges, resulting in a portfolio that can perform in a variety of market regimes but requires tolerance for complexity and levered risk.

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.
