About

A buy-and-hold mix: 40% global stocks, 20% US bonds, 20% gold, 20% long US dollar, via VT, VTI, VEU, BND, GLD, UUP. Built for steadier returns than all-stocks, but will lag when stocks soar. No rebalancing, so weights can drift.
NutHow it works
Puts 40% in stocks worldwide split equally across: VT (global stocks), VTI (US stocks), VEU (stocks outside the US). Then 20% in BND (broad US bonds), 20% in GLD (gold), and 20% in UUP (the US dollar vs other major currencies). Buys and holds—no rebalancing.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: higher risk-adjusted returns and far lower drawdowns. Sharpe ~2.13, Calmar ~2.8, max drawdown ~6.5% vs S&P ~18.8%, beta ~0.34. Returns ~18.22% vs 18.58% for S&P, but with a steadier, diversified ride.

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.
