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

VFLO: methodology lists COWZas 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.

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).

IALT: before December 11, 2025, IALT is proxied by 50% FLSP and 50% DBMF daily returns.

CLSE's inception date of 2022-02-22 is limiting the backtest.
