About

A rules‑driven, K‑1‑free “all‑weather” portfolio that adapts to stocks, bonds, rates, volatility, and commodities. It uses simple trend/“heat” signals to rotate between growth, defensives, USD, bonds (incl. 3x long/short), and commodity hedges to seek strong returns with crash protection.
NutHow it works
Big picture: about 30% stocks, 55% bonds, 15% tactical. An “emergency brake” watches market fear (VIX ETFs). If fear spikes, it either hides in T‑Bills/short‑term bonds or holds one 2x index fund only if the market trend is still up. Signals in plain English: - Trend: price vs its recent average (above = uptrend). - RSI: a 0–100 “heat meter” of recent moves (high=hot, low=cold). - Cumulative return: % move over a set period. - Drawdown: recent peak‑to‑bottom slide. Stocks: In good times, it leans into growth (often 2x/3x S&P/Nasdaq/Tech/Semis). If rates rise or trends weaken, it shifts to defensives (Staples, Energy, Dividend/Value/Quality), adds a long‑US dollar fund, and may use index shorts. Bonds: If rates fall, it uses 3x long‑Treasury funds to ride the rally. If rates rise, it can short Treasuries and/or hold a strong‑US‑dollar fund. If bonds are stable, it holds regular Treasury funds. Tactical sleeve: If stocks lead and are trending, it rotates between S&P/Nasdaq and briefly adds a volatility hedge on sharp swings. If commodities lead, it rotates across broad commodities, gold/silver/oil/grains, or an inflation basket. All ETFs are K‑1‑free.

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.
