About

A daily, rules-driven, multi-asset strategy that tilt-tunes between growth and hedges using momentum signals and VIX-based hedges to pursue long-term gains with downside protection.
NutHow it works
A daily, rules-based engine tilts a broad ETF universe between growth and hedging. It uses momentum and price signals (RSI, moving averages, cumulative returns) to decide when to overweight US and international stocks or switch into hedges (VIX futures like VIXY and inverse-vol funds like EUM/BTAL). The strategy scales in and out via structured blocks (Step Up, Scale-In) and spreads risk across sectors and asset classes to reduce drawdowns while pursuing long-run growth. Expect frequent rebalances and reliance on robust data and backtesting.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this strategy delivers stronger risk-adjusted performance than the S&P 500: Sharpe ~1.02 vs 0.96, max drawdown 8.6% vs 18.8%, Calmar ~1.44, and 12.36% annualized return. Dynamic hedging helps curb losses in volatility bursts.

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.
