RGBM stacks a global balanced sleeve with a systematic macro sleeve: roughly a dollar of each type of exposure per dollar invested, via leverage and derivatives.
Total return (Yahoo adjusted close—dividends and splits per Yahoo), normalized to $10,000 at first available trade date. Educational only.
RGBM stacks a global balanced core (equities and investment-grade-style fixed income) with a systematic managed-futures book across rates, FX, and commodities. Capital efficiency comes from derivatives, so margin and leverage caps are central to understanding the return profile.
The fund uses leverage and short positions in the macro sleeve. In stress, CAD versus USD exposure and exchange limits on futures both affect outcomes.

| Macro futures | 100% |
Return Stacked® Canada inherits the same intellectual lineage as the U.S. line (ReSolve / Newfound-style capital-efficiency research packaged for TSX investors via LongPoint as manager): narrow franchise, purpose-built slides, and advisor education rather than bank-branch distribution.
Sponsor scale is modest next to RBC iShares or BMO, but that keeps the product honest about capacity: you are buying a sleeve built for stacking, not a closet indexer with a macro sticker.
Outperforms when global balanced beta grinds while futures sleeves harvest independent trends: dollar cycles, curve steepeners, or commodity shocks that do not move global equities in lockstep.
Underperforms when correlations spike and both sleeves de-risk into the same liquidity hole; favorable tape is persistent macro trends with functioning futures markets, not simultaneous crashes in stocks and bonds with vol targeting cutting exposure late.
