About

A diversified, “best risk-for-return” portfolio: stocks, Treasuries, gold, real estate, and a long U.S. dollar stake—plus a tech/Nasdaq sleeve that switches between 2x long, 2x short, or T‑Bills based on simple recent‑move and regime signals.
NutHow it works
- 40% stocks: ~34% in a tech/Nasdaq sleeve that switches based on simple “speed” gauges of recent moves (RSI). If tech is overheated, it briefly bets against Nasdaq; if washed out, it buys a 2x long Nasdaq fund; if tech weakens vs defensive sectors for ~6 months, it parks in T‑Bills; otherwise it stays 2x long. ~6% in broad international stocks. - 20% U.S. Treasuries (mix of short, intermediate, long, and inflation‑protected). - 15% gold. - 5% U.S. real estate (REITs). - 20% long U.S. dollar. This blend aims for strong returns per unit of risk via diversification and a tech‑led timing overlay.
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified strategy with a Nasdaq overlay designed for best risk-adjusted returns. Out-of-sample: Calmar 1.68, Sharpe ~1.06, max drawdown ~7.5%, ~12.6% annualized. Smoother risk and better downside protection than 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.
