Rules‑based, multi‑asset mix that seeks growth in expansions (mainly S&P 500, tech, and foreign stocks) and plays defense in contractions using cash, staples, bonds, gold, and managed‑futures. Trend and volatility signals drive when it shifts.

The text the rules are quoted from, with where it came from.
Five sleeves: US core (NTSX = US stocks + Treasury futures), Tech (XLK), International (VEA), a rules‑based Homebase, and a 10% Managed‑Futures sleeve (funds like DBMF/KMLM/CTA that go long/short futures). It owns stocks when trends are up (moving‑average checks). When fear (VIXM) spikes or trends weaken, it shifts to T‑Bills (BIL), Staples (XLP), TIPS (TIP), Gold (IAU), or Managed‑Futures. Brief use of SSO/TQQQ in strong uptrends or on oversold dips. RSI = short‑term “heat” gauge.
Rules‑based, multi‑asset mix that seeks growth in expansions (mainly S&P 500, tech, and foreign stocks) and plays defense in contractions using cash, staples, bonds, gold, and managed‑futures. Trend and volatility signals drive when it shifts.
Out-of-sample: higher risk-adjusted returns and lower drawdowns vs the S&P 500. Sharpe 1.64 vs 1.42; annualized return 25.03% vs 21.98%; max drawdown 12.17% vs 18.76%; Calmar ~2.06. Diversified, rules-based growth with crisis protection.
Intent: Grow during growth periods with limited leverage, and to not drop during contractions. Works with 5 groups, each using limited # of tickers to prevent small % ownerships. 3 "Simple paths" for NTSX (Sp500+bnds), XLK (tech), and VEA (INTL), One logic based symphony, and one group focused on managed futures (DBMF, KMLM, and/or CTA). Ultimately, symphony is primarily SP500 based, but diversifies with some international stocks, bonds, and managed futures to improve risk adjusted returns.
