About

A dynamic, rules‑based portfolio that rotates across stocks, bonds, commodities, the US dollar, and volatility hedges. It adds leverage in healthy uptrends and shifts to defensive assets—or even short positions—when interest‑rate and risk signals worsen.
NutHow it works
It’s a rules‑driven mix of stocks, bonds, commodities, the US dollar, and volatility hedges. It dials risk up with leveraged stock funds when trends are strong, and shifts to Treasuries, cash‑like bills, gold, USD, or VIX hedges when stress rises. Key signals: trend (price vs its recent average), RSI (short‑term “hot/cold” meter; high=stretched, low=sold‑off), drawdown (recent drop), and volatility.
CheckmarkValue prop
Dynamic, rules-based strategy rotating across stocks, bonds, commodities, USD, and volatility hedges. Out-of-sample, it shows lower drawdowns (15.6% vs 18.8%), Calmar >1, and Sharpe ~1.18—delivering steadier, downside-protected growth vs 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.
