About

A simple, quarterly semiconductor strategy: favor the stronger ETF over the past ~3 months and split the rest across Intel, AMD, Nvidia, and TSM with a small tilt. Concentrated, growth-leaning, long-only exposure to chipmakers.
NutHow it works
Every quarter, it checks which of two semiconductor ETFs—SOXX (iShares) or SMH (VanEck)—had the higher average return over the last ~90 trading days. It puts 35% in that “winner.” The rest goes to Intel (INTC), AMD (AMD), Nvidia (NVDA), and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM), tilting more to Intel if SOXX wins, or to AMD/Nvidia if SMH wins. Always fully invested in chips.
CheckmarkValue prop
Capitalize on semiconductor momentum. Out-of-sample annualized return ~46% vs SPY ~23%, with quarterly tilts to NVDA/AMD/INTC/TSM and ETF leaders. Fully invested, disciplined rebalancing; higher drawdowns but strong risk-adjusted upside (Calmar ~1.14).

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.
