Our read on RSBT
DMost portfolios make you choose: bonds, or a trend-following diversifier. RSBT stacks both on the same dollar, using leverage to run a bond strategy with a managed futures strategy inside one ticker.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. It is an actively managed ETF combining a bond strategy with a Managed Futures strategy, using leverage to stack their returns.
Why people hold it
- One ticker doing two jobs: an actively managed bond strategy with a managed futures strategy stacked on top through leverage, so the diversifier doesn't displace the bond sleeve.
- Managed futures normally arrives as a separate line item you fund by selling something else. The stack builds that trade into the fund instead.
- Runs as a standard 1940 Act ETF, so the futures exposure comes without a limited partnership structure wrapped around it.
- Launched in 2023 as part of the small group of funds built explicitly around return stacking rather than plain asset-allocation slices.
Worth knowing
- At 1.01%, it runs well above straight allocation peers (AOA at 0.19%, NTSX at 0.20%). Leverage plus active trend management carries a higher price tag.
- Stacking works both directions: leverage means the bond side and the trend side can move against you at the same time.
- A smaller, thinly traded fund, so spreads matter more here than in the category's giants, and distributions land once or twice a year rather than monthly.
