About
A diversified core with a tactical US equity sleeve. Most assets stay put (bonds, gold, real estate, USD, international stocks), while the US slice flips between +2x Nasdaq, cash-like T‑bills, or −2x Nasdaq using “hot/cold” gauges and tech-vs-defensive signals.
Target mix: ~40% stocks (US+intl), 20% US Treasuries (short→long + inflation‑linked), 15% gold (GLD), 5% US real estate (VNQ), 20% long US dollar (UUP). The US stock slice is tactical: it flips among +2x Nasdaq‑100 (QLD), T‑bills (BIL), or −2x Nasdaq (QID) using RSI—a 0–100 “heat” gauge—and a check of tech (XLK) vs defensive sectors (XLP, XLU). Leveraged ETFs magnify daily moves.
Out-of-sample edge: Calmar 1.68, Sharpe ~1.06 vs SPY, max drawdown 7.5% vs 18.8%, annualized return 12.55% vs 17.93%. Diversified core with a tactical Nasdaq sleeve, lower beta, steadier upside, better risk control.
