About

Core U.S. stocks (70%) plus a dynamic 30% sleeve in gold, commodities, real estate, and inflation‑linked bonds. The hedge favors the steadier choices and rebalances quarterly to help counter rising inflation while keeping growth potential.
NutHow it works
- 70% goes to VTI (a fund holding the broad U.S. stock market). - 30% goes to an “inflation hedge” split among: GLD = gold, PDBC = diversified commodities, VNQ = real estate, REM = mortgage REITs, TIP = inflation‑linked U.S. Treasuries. - Inside that 30%, the steadier options over the last ~60 days get bigger weights (based on recent price swings). - Rebalanced quarterly.
CheckmarkValue prop
Inflation-hedged core strategy: out-of-sample return 10.92% vs SPY 14.01%, yet lower drawdown (20.70% vs 22.09%) and solid risk metrics (Calmar ~0.53, Sharpe ~0.79). Hedge mix—gold, TIPs, real estate—delivers steadier, inflation-resilient growth.

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.
