About

A leveraged take on Buffett’s 90/10 idea: 90% in a 2× S&P 500 fund (SSO) and 10% in a 3× U.S. Treasury bond fund (TYD), rebalanced weekly. Simple, long-only, high risk, aiming to magnify stock-heavy returns with a small bond diversifier.
NutHow it works
- 90% goes into SSO, a fund built to move about 2× the S&P 500’s daily change. The S&P 500 is an index of 500 large U.S. companies (think AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, etc.). - 10% goes into TYD, a fund built to move about 3× the daily change of 7–10 year U.S. government bonds. - Rebalanced weekly to keep the mix at 90/10. Because these are leveraged funds, ups and downs can be big, and long‑term results can differ from a simple 2×/3× multiple.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample, this 90/10 levered strategy targets ~24% annualized returns vs ~18% for the S&P, thanks to 2x stock exposure and a 3x bond sleeve with weekly rebalancing. Higher upside comes with higher drawdowns—great for long horizons with risk tolerance.

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.
