Investors seeking exposure to alternatives like gold and Bitcoin face a tough tradeoff: diversify or stay fully invested in stocks and bonds. What if you didn’t have to choose?
In this episode, we unveil Return Stacked® U.S. Stocks & Gold/Bitcoin (RSSX) - an ETF designed to deliver long-term capital appreciation by stacking diversified exposures on top of traditional equity allocations.
Discover how RSSX leverages capital-efficient strategies to provide $1 of exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks plus $1 of exposure to a Gold/Bitcoin mix - all for every $1 invested. We’ll walk through the mechanics, behavioral advantages, and real-world application of the latest return-stacking innovation.
Whether you're an advisor looking to optimize client portfolios or an investor seeking smarter diversification, this session is a must-listen.
