About

A leveraged spin on Buffett’s 90/10: 90% in SSO (2x S&P 500) and 10% in TYD (3x U.S. Treasury bonds), rebalanced weekly. Simple, broad U.S. exposure with bigger ups and downs than a normal 90/10.
NutHow it works
Put 90% into SSO, an ETF built to move about 2x the S&P 500’s daily change (the S&P 500 is 500 large U.S. companies across many sectors). Put 10% into TYD, an ETF that aims for 3x the daily move of 7–10 year U.S. Treasury bonds. Rebalance weekly back to 90/10. No market timing. Because these funds are leveraged, gains and losses can be magnified.
CheckmarkValue prop
Higher upside: out-of-sample return ~25% vs S&P ~18%, with levered 90/10 (SSO/TYD) and weekly rebalance. Calmar ~0.79; expect higher volatility and drawdowns, but growth-focused, risk-tolerant investors may benefit.

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.
