About

A high‑octane take on Buffett’s 90/10: 90% in 2x S&P 500 (SSO) and 10% in 3x 7–10yr Treasuries (TYD), rebalanced weekly. About 2.1x total exposure—big upside in bull markets, but larger drawdowns and decay risk in volatile or falling markets.
NutHow it works
90% goes to SSO, a fund that aims to deliver 2x the S&P 500’s daily move (big US companies). 10% goes to TYD, a fund that targets 3x the daily move of 7–10 year US Treasury bonds. Rebalanced weekly. This creates ~210% total exposure, so gains and losses are magnified; daily reset can cause drift in choppy markets. Unlike Buffett’s plain 90/10 with short‑term bonds, this uses leverage and intermediate bonds, making it much riskier.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample annualized return: 24.3% vs 17.7% for the S&P. Weekly-levered stock exposure plus a bond sleeve seeks stronger compounding and bigger upside in bull markets. Higher drawdowns (~32%) and lower risk-adjusted Sharpe than SPY.

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.
