About

A simple buy-and-hold, equal-weight basket of 14 stocks across tech, healthcare, consumer, materials, energy shipping, and insurance, with minimal rebalancing to keep trading and taxes simple.
NutHow it works
It puts all your money into a simple, even split across 14 individual companies and then mostly leaves it alone. There’s no set rebalancing, so weights can drift over time, which keeps trading (and potential wash-sale issues) low. The basket spans: tech (Microsoft, NVIDIA, ASML, KLA), healthcare (Eli Lilly, Merck, Moderna), consumer (Ulta Beauty, Monster Beverage), materials (Steel Dynamics, Sigma Lithium), energy shipping (Flex LNG), and insurance/conglomerate (Kinsale Capital, Berkshire Hathaway).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: a 14-stock equal-weight basket offers higher annualized returns (≈24.8% vs SPY) with Calmar >1 and low turnover, delivering tax-friendly, simple buy-and-hold upside beyond the 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.
