About

An equal-weight basket of nine industrial/tech/defense stocks (AMKR, OSS, PLAB, ENS, PLPC, DOCN, VIAV, THR, HII), rebalanced daily with no timing signals. Concentrated and likely more volatile than the broad market.
NutHow it works
It splits your money evenly across nine specific U.S. stocks and resets them back to equal size each trading day. No market timing or indicators—just equal weighting of this list: AMKR (chip packaging), OSS (rugged computing), PLAB (chip photomasks), ENS (industrial batteries), PLPC (grid hardware), DOCN (SMB cloud), VIAV (network testing/optics), THR (industrial heating), HII (military shipbuilding).
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: Sharpe ~3.52 vs SPY ~1.17, Calmar ~19, and outsized returns from a nine-stock equal-weight basket. Daily rebalance targets semis/defense/cloud cycles; higher drawdowns than SPY, but compelling risk-adjusted upside.

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.
