About
A rules-based, multi-asset strategy that shifts between leveraged tech, long/short Treasuries, volatility hedges, and defensive assets based on trend, momentum, and volatility. Seeks growth in calm trends and protection in shocks; uses leveraged/volatility ETFs (high risk).
It watches three things: trend, momentum, and volatility.
- If markets are calm or trending up, it leans into offense (leveraged Nasdaq or long Treasuries).
- If stress rises or prices get extreme, it rotates to hedges (US dollar, gold, staples) or volatility (UVXY).
- A bond module flips between long/short long-term Treasuries as rates change.
Out-of-sample, this rules-based, multi-asset strategy yields about 25% annualized returns with ~17% max drawdown, vs the S&P’s ~22% with ~19% drawdown—offering higher upside, smoother risk, and stronger risk-adjusted performance.
