result: hedge-fund reframe -> moat is cheap leverage, not the strategy

Multi-strat with foxhunt's own ideas. (1) Combine uncorrelated premia: ~0.72 Sharpe 2019-26 but
~=60/40, only when streams net-positive (traditional 2010-26 combine +0.51 < equity +0.68 = dilution).
(2) Edge-decay-trust allocation (Page-Hinkley theta, resurrection) genuinely helps: +0.16->+0.27,
correctly down-weights decayed streams. (3) Static risk layer crushed returns (one-way latch);
ADAPTIVE layer (continuous self-recovering DD de-lever + Kelly-floor + z-score corr + EMA vol)
beat it (+0.03->+0.14, maxDD -18.7->-14.5) -- value is drawdown control. (4) THE MOAT = cheap
financing: adaptive 1x Sharpe +0.48 vs 2x +0.14; retail 6-7% margin kills leverage benefit. Funds
lever ~0.7 Sharpe only via prime-brokerage SOFR+1-2%. Deployable best = ~1x adaptive-risk-managed
diversified book (~0.5-0.7 Sharpe, unlevered), scales with capital. Foxhunt ideas improve execution
(validated); engine value = risk-mgmt not alpha. Ceiling ~0.7 ironclad.

"""Nano multi-strat: operate like a hedge fund. Combine uncorrelated premia (equity, bond, gold,
commodity, trend, crypto) risk-parity-weighted + vol-targeted; show the correlation matrix (the
diversification engine), combined Sharpe vs each piece alone, and how leverage scales the return.
Not market-neutral — it's the diversified-premia + leverage (All-Weather/alt-risk-premia) model.
The point: each stream is modest, but uncorrelated streams combine to a higher Sharpe, then leverage
turns modest Sharpe into real return. Risk management = the engine's actual job."""
