RSBT ETF: It's A Directional Bet, Not A Diversification Vehicle
The Return Stacked Bonds & Managed Futures ETF has delivered a 12.25% year-over-year price return after shedding value during 2022/23's inflation de-anchoring – the vehicle remains cyclical and macro-linked. RSBT splits capital between AGG ETF and managed futures, relying on leading trend-following strategies. However, I think relative value or discretionary would've provided better diversification. Despite showing soft intra-asset correlations, covariance can spike during extreme market environments. Moreover, true portfolio convexity or downside protection has yet to surface.
