E17. STACKED UNPACKED: Quarterly Live Q&A

Author: Ani Yildirim August 18, 2025 Duration: 1:08:28

In this episode, Corey Hoffstein and Adam Butler take you inside the latest Q2 commentary on the Return Stacked® ETF suite. They break down key strategies behind ETFs like RSSX, RSSB, RSBT, and RSST—covering everything from performance differentials in trend strategies to the mechanics of trend model replication.

You’ll hear sharp analysis of return stack carry funds, year-to-date performance, and how they behave in multi-asset portfolios. The hosts also explore fixed income sector positioning, the role of energy exposure, and why merger arbitrage deserves a closer look as a diversifier. The episode wraps with the new RSSX ETF, blending U.S. stocks, gold, and Bitcoin to meet evolving market demands.

*The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost, and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.

RSSX does not invest directly in Bitcoin or Gold.
