Educational model only — not investment advice. Portfolio betas in the holdings table are weighted to the listed names and weights.

MATE: total-return path multiplies daily returns of RSST. Pre-inception path deducts ~4%/yr wholesale financing on 1.00× incremental notional (gross ~200% vs 100% cash).

ORR: methodology lists CLSEas Yahoo proxies for joint history before live listing when calendar overlap allows. In this chart's Yahoo range there was no separate pre-listing window to splice—line shows the fund's reported adjusted closes only.

IALT: total-return path multiplies daily returns of FLSP. Pre-inception path deducts ~4%/yr wholesale financing on 1.00× incremental notional (gross ~200% vs 100% cash).

NTSD: before March 19, 2026, NTSD is shown as a simulated daily blend (90% SPY + 60% EFA returns, minus ~0.6% annual drag).

RSSY's inception date of 2024-05-29 is limiting the backtest.
