About

Own 25 companies that consistently received the most patents in 2010–2017. Equal-weighted, rebalanced quarterly. Heavy in chipmakers and software (TSMC, Intel, Microsoft) plus industrial, consumer, and medical innovators (GE, P&G, Medtronic, Nike).
NutHow it works
We look at how many patents each company had approved each year from 2010–2017. Each year we rank all companies; then we average each company’s ranks across those years. We buy the 25 with the best average ranks in equal size. Every 3 months, we reset back to equal weights and refresh the list if needed.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: 15.28% annualized return vs S&P 13.99%, from a 25-name equal-weight, patent-driven portfolio rebalanced quarterly. Captures ongoing innovation upside with diversification—albeit with higher beta and drawdowns.

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.
