RSST seeks to offer

A Performance Advantage

Managed futures may boost long-term returns and reduce large equity losses when overlaid on top of U.S. stocks

A Behavioral Advantage

Investors may experience less behavioral friction when they keep their familiar U.S. stock exposures and add the diversifier on top.

Capital Efficiency

Every $1.00 invested aims to do double duty: $1.00 of U.S stock exposure plus $1.00 of a managed futures strategy.

01 // THE CASE

Investment Case

Making Managed Futures Easier to Hold

A managed futures overlay, not a swap

Adding managed futures usually means selling stocks or bonds to fund the position, then living with the tracking error when the diversifier lags. RSST is designed to remove that trade-off through a capital efficient overlay. For every $1 invested, the Fund seeks $1 of exposure to large-cap U.S. equities and $1 of exposure to a managed futures strategy, so the diversifier is stacked on top of the equity core, not in place of it. By keeping investors fully invested in stocks, RSST may make a long-term allocation to managed futures more tolerable to maintain.

Seek a Smoother Equity Ride

Diversification in one capital efficient ETF

Managed futures has historically exhibited low correlation to both stocks and bonds. By stacking this historically diversifying return stream on top of U.S. equity exposure in a single capital efficient ETF, RSST seeks to help offset equity drawdowns and smooth the overall ride, without asking investors to give up their growth engine.

Add a Potential Source of Active Return

Turnkey portable alpha

RSST offers a turnkey portable alpha approach: layering an actively managed, systematic trend-following strategy on top of passive equity beta. Because managed futures seek returns independent of equity market direction, the strategy may serve as an additional, uncorrelated source of active return, rather than a drag that only earns its keep in a crisis.

Diversification does not assure a profit.

Stacking Managed Futures With RSST

02 // OBJECTIVE

Fund Overview

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in two complementary investment strategies: a U.S. equity strategy and a managed futures strategy. For every $1 invested, the Fund attempts to provide $1 of exposure to its U.S. equity strategy and $1 of exposure to its managed futures strategy.

The U.S. equity strategy seeks to capture the total return of large-cap U.S. equities by investing in large-cap U.S. stocks, large-cap U.S. equity ETFs, and U.S. equity index futures.

The managed futures strategy will invest using a trend-following strategy in futures contracts among four major asset classes: commodities, currencies, equities, and fixed income.

Leverage Risk. As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments in futures contracts. These derivative instruments provide the economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the underlying instrument, as well as the potential for greater loss. You could lose all or substantially all of your investment in the Fund should the Fund’s trading positions suddenly turn unprofitable. The net asset value of the Fund while employing leverage will be more volatile and sensitive to market movements.

Fund FAQs

How often does RSST Rebalance?

RSST rebalances daily.

How does RSST get its exposure to U.S. equities?

The U.S. equity strategy within RSST can hold U.S. equities, U.S. equity ETFs, and U.S. equity index futures, or any combination thereof.

For example, RSST may hold 75% in a large-cap U.S. equity ETF and gain the remaining 25% equity exposure through U.S. equity index futures.

  • 75% SPDR® Portfolio S&P 500® ETF ("SPYM")
  • 25% S&P 500® E-Mini Futures Contract

The Managed Futures strategy will also have long or short positions in U.S. equity index futures, increasing or decreasing their net exposure.

The Managed Futures strategy seeks to replicate a basket of leading trend following funds within the managed futures space, using both top-down and bottom-up techniques to replicate. What is a simple way to understand what they each do?

Top-Down Replication:

As an analogy, consider the example of trying to replicate the returns of an active, long-term stock picker.  The top-down approach would be akin to trying to identify the portfolio of stocks – i.e. both the stocks and the weights – that best replicates their returns by regressing his track record on the universe of global stocks.

Unlike a long-term stock picker, trend-following managed futures funds can change their positions rapidly. As a result, the replicating portfolio must be fit at each daily time-step, using returns of the basket of funds and the explanatory markets over the preceding days and weeks. Each model fit yields weights for a portfolio of representative markets which, if held over the term of the regression, minimize the difference between tracking portfolio returns and benchmark returns.

Pros: Agnostic of how managers run their portfolios; can adapt to model innovation.

Cons: Can only use most recent data to estimate current portfolio; may miss sudden changes in underlying manager positions.

Bottom-Up Replication:

If the top-down approach is akin to trying to figure out which stocks a long-term stock picker owns, the bottom-up approach is akin to trying to figure out which characteristics they use to pick stocks.  In other words, if we can identify the strategy they use for picking stocks, we can try to implement that strategy ourselves.

Bottom-up replication is aimed at uncovering the underlying strategies that funds in the basket are using to form portfolios. A combination of time-series momentum, price versus moving average, multiple moving average, or breakout systems are typically employed in trend-following strategies to identify market trends.

Pros: Can use much more data to create stable estimates; can capture sudden changes in weights.

Cons: Will not necessarily capture model innovation among managers

What proportion is given to each replication approach?

30% of the Managed Futures strategy is allocated to the top-down approach and 70% is allocated to the bottom-up approach.

Is RSST a portable alpha strategy?

Yes, but in turnkey form. Portable alpha has always involved two jobs. A specialist managing the equity beta through derivatives as well as the cash and margin decisions behind it. Someone else has to select and monitor the alternative strategies funded by that freed-up capital. Institutions hire specialists for both. RSST is designed to do both inside a single capital efficient ETF. The complexity of the portable alpha program sits inside the fund run by us, leaving you to only worry about the asset allocation decision.

What is the expected risk profile of the ETF?

Since their joint inception on 12/31/1999 through 7/31/2023, the S&P 500 Total Return Index (“SPXT”) and the Société Générale Trend Index (“NEIXCTAT”) have exhibited realized annualized volatility levels of 15.5% and 13.5% respectively.  An equal-weight portfolio of these two indices, levered up 200% (and financed at the Bloomberg Short-Term Treasury Total Return Index (“LD12TRUUU”), exhibited a realized annualized volatility of 19.2% over the same period.

What makes RSST capital efficient?

Futures contracts require only a small fraction of their notional value as margin. By holding part of its U.S. equity exposure and all of its managed futures exposure through futures, RSST seeks to provide approximately $2 of total exposure for every $1 invested, allowing your precious capital do double the work.

The promise of capital efficiency also comes the potential for greater loss. Hence why it’s so important to stack strategies that tend to diversify the base U.S. equity exposure rather than amplify it.

Is RSST tax efficient?

There are tax considerations to be aware of when implementing RSST into portfolios.  For example, daily gains and losses in futures contracts may need to be calculated as realized for tax purposes, which may affect ordinary income or capital gains depending upon the contract. You should consult your tax advisor before investing.

How often does RSST make distributions?

Distributions, if any, are expected to be made annually at the end of each calendar year.

As of 09/30/2026

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted above.

Short term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the fund’s future performance, and an investment should not be made based solely on historical returns. Returns beyond 1 year are annualized.

A fund’s NAV is the sum of all its assets less any liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the most recent price at which the fund was traded.

Definitions:

Bloomberg Short Treasury US Total Return Index is an index that covers US Treasury Bills between 1-3 months in maturity. Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index is an index that covers the broad U.S. investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. MSCI ACWI Net Total Return USD Index is a benchmark representing global equity performance, tracking large and mid-cap stocks across 23 developed and 24 emerging markets. It covers ~85% of the global investable equity set, with performance calculated in USD, net of dividend withholding taxes. MSCI EAFE Net Total Return USD Index measures the equity performance of developed markets outside of North America, specifically covering Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. It tracks large and mid-cap stocks, covering roughly 85% of each country's free-float adjusted market capitalization, with returns calculated in USD, net of dividend withholding taxes. Société Générale Trend Index is designed to track the largest trend following commodity trading advisors (“CTAs”) in the managed futures space net of underlying fees. The index does not represent the entire universe of all CTAs. Actual rates of return may be significantly different and more volatile than those of the index. FTSE 100 is a stock market index of the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange by market value, representing the large‑cap U.K. equity market. Nikkei 225 is a stock market index that tracks 225 large, liquid, publicly traded companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, representing Japan’s blue‑chip equity market. Eurostoxx (Euro STOXX 50) is a stock market index of 50 leading blue‑chip companies from countries in the euro area, representing the core eurozone equity market. Dax index is a stock market index that tracks major blue‑chip companies listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, representing the German large‑cap equity market. Mini S&P 500 is an equity index futures contract on the S&P 500 giving exposure to the 500 largest U.S. companies. Mini NASDAQ is an equity index futures contract giving exposure to the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on Nasdaq. TX60 is an equity index futures contract on the S&P/TSX 60 giving exposure to 60 of the largest large-cap Canadian companies listed on the TSX. The S&P 500 Total Return Index (SPTR2) is a total return index that reflects both changes in the prices of stocks in the S&P 500 Index as well as the reinvestment of the dividend income from its underlying stocks. The S&P Composite 1500 (SP1500TR) combines three leading indices, the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400, and the S&P SmallCap 600, to cover approximately 90% of U.S. market capitalization. The Bloomberg US Aggregate Index (LBUSTRUU) is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. Portable alpha is the practice of obtaining a portfolio's market exposure through capital-efficient instruments like futures or swaps, freeing the underlying capital to be invested in return streams that are largely independent of that market exposure.

Derivatives Risk. Derivatives are instruments, such as futures contracts, whose value is derived from that of other assets, rates, or indices. The use of derivatives for non-hedging purposes may be considered to carry more risk than other types of investments. Cayman Subsidiary Risk. By investing in the Fund’s Cayman Subsidiary, the Fund is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The futures contracts and other investments held by the Subsidiary are subject to the same economic risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Fund. The Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act, and, unless otherwise noted in the Fund’s Prospectus, is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Bond Risks. The Fund will be subject to bond and fixed income risks through its investments in U.S. Treasury securities, broad-based bond ETFs, and investments in U.S. Treasury and fixed income futures contracts. Changes in interest rates generally will cause the value of fixed-income and bond instruments held by Fund (or underlying ETFs) to vary inversely to such changes. Commodity Risk. Investing in physical commodities is speculative and can be extremely volatile. Commodity-Linked Derivatives Tax Risk. The tax treatment of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be adversely affected by changes in legislation, regulations, or other legally binding authority. As a registered investment company (RIC), the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income each taxable year from certain qualifying sources of income under the Internal Revenue Code. If, as a result of any adverse future legislation, U.S. Treasury regulations, and/or guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service, the income of the Fund from certain commodity-linked derivatives, including income from the Fund’s investments in the Subsidiary, were treated as non-qualifying income, the Fund may fail to qualify as RIC and/or be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level. The uncertainty surrounding the treatment of certain derivative instruments under the qualification tests for a RIC may limit the Fund’s use of such derivative instruments. Commodity Pool Regulatory Risk. The Fund’s investment exposure to futures instruments will cause it to be deemed to be a commodity pool, thereby subjecting the Fund to regulation under the Commodity Exchange Act and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission rules. Because the Fund is subject to additional laws, regulations, and enforcement policies, it may have increased compliance costs which may affect the operations and performance of the Fund. Credit Risk: Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of a security will not be able to make principal and interest payments when due. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Currency Risk: Currency risk is the risk that changes in currency exchange rates will negatively affect securities denominated in, and/or receiving revenues in, foreign currencies. The liquidity and trading value of foreign currencies could be affected by global economic factors, such as inflation, interest rate levels, and trade balances among countries, as well as the actions of sovereign governments and central banks. Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk. Foreign and emerging market investing involves currency, political and economic risk. Leverage Risk: As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments in futures contracts to gain long and short exposure across four major asset classes (commodities, currencies, fixed income, and equities). These derivative instruments provide the economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the underlying instrument, as well as the potential for greater loss. Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning that it is permitted to invest a larger percentage of its assets in fewer issuers than diversified funds. Underlying ETFs Risk. The Fund will incur higher and duplicative expenses because it invests in bond ETFs. The Fund may also suffer losses due to the investment practices of the underlying bond ETFs. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with a limited operating history. Management Investment Adviser Tidal Investments LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund and the Subsidiary. Investment Sub-Advisers Newfound Research LLC serves as investment sub-adviser to the Fund.
