About

Quarterly, five-way, income-focused ETF mix selected by momentum-style screens, one pick per category (Dividends, Buy/Write, Commodities, REIT/BDCs, Preferreds), equally weighted.
NutHow it works
- Every quarter, pick one ETF from each of five groups: Dividends, Buy/Write, Commodities, REIT/Business, and Preferred ETFs. - Within each group, look at the last ~60 days of price action and rank the available ETFs by a momentum-like score. The goal is to find the one that looks strongest on recent price behavior, with a bias toward the asset that the system flags as favorable. - From each group, select the top candidate (one per category). - Allocate equal cash to the five chosen assets, creating a five-position portfolio with balanced weight. - Rebalance quarterly to refresh the selections and keep the five groups represented. - The results rely on simple, rules-based signals (momentum-like measures) rather than subjective judgment. The approach is income-forward, with exposure spread across dividend plays, covered-call strategies, commodities, real estate/BDCs, and preferred stocks, plus a cash sleeve for liquidity.

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.
