About

A simple, inflation‑conscious mix: 70% U.S. stocks plus 30% split among gold, commodities, real estate, mortgage REITs, and TIPS—tilted toward the steadier parts based on the last ~60 trading days; rebalanced quarterly.
NutHow it works
70% goes to a fund that owns almost the entire U.S. stock market (VTI). The other 30% is an inflation hedge split across gold (GLD), broad commodities (PDBC), real estate owners (VNQ), mortgage REITs (REM), and inflation‑linked Treasuries (TIP). Within that 30%, the calmer parts over the last ~60 trading days get bigger weights. The mix is refreshed every quarter.

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.
