About

A monthly sector-rotation plan that owns the three U.S. sector ETFs with the strongest ~200‑day performance, heavily weighting the leader (~52%) and the next two (~30% and ~18%). Concentrates in the market’s current winners.
NutHow it works
Once a month, it checks how much each sector fund rose over the last ~200 trading days. It ranks them, then buys the top three: about 52% in the leader, ~30% in #2, and ~18% in #3. It holds for one month, then repeats. Funds span U.S. sectors (tech, energy, health care, real estate, etc.).
CheckmarkValue prop
Momentum-driven sector rotation tilts to current leaders (52/30/18). It offers a lower beta (~0.92) and solid risk control (Calmar ~0.76), providing diversified sector exposure and smoother risk in choppy markets, even if OOS returns trail SPY.

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.
