Is RSST's expense ratio expensive, average, or a steal for its category?
Pro reveals the verdict on a 5-tier spectrum calibrated against ICI 2025 industry averages, with strategy-aware bands so the comparison is meaningful.

RSST is a buy, with one caveat: it can't be your portfolio's sole core. Every $1 buys $2 of notional exposure, 100% S&P 500 and 100% trend-following managed futures. Swap in KMLM's sleeve and the equivalent fund comes up 5% CAGR short with about the same excess volatility. ReSolve had a real edge here. The trend program effectively never goes net short equities. On March 31 it shorted the Nasdaq and DAX but stayed long the Stoxx, TSX, Nikkei and FTSE.

ETFs are a great way to optimize your portfolio, especially if you're targeting maximizing total returns and long-term income growth. My real-money family portfolio plans to buy four growth ETFs next year. VFLO and SCHG are gold standard deep value and growth ETFs. VFLO's growth-tilted FCF yield approach has historically delivered 19% annual returns since 1991.

The RSST ETF combines U.S. large-cap equity exposure with a managed futures strategy, aiming for capital-efficient 'return stacking' but has shown high volatility and recent drawdowns. RSST's managed futures strategy uses a machine learning approach similar to DBMF, which has faced significant losses due to sudden market changes. I recommend investors watch RSST closely and avoid investing until the fund can demonstrate consistent alpha generation from its managed futures overlay.

RSST provides exposure to U.S. large-cap equities and a managed futures strategy. The fund's strategy has been broadly effective in the past, with strong returns and moderate risk. I'm bullish, but think position sizes should be kept small, to reduce risk.

On Monday, June 10, I bought shares of five blue chips and sold two. British American Tobacco's fundamentals remain strong, with expected sales growth and potential for an upgrade in credit rating by 2027. I snapped up 100 more shares of NVDA at fair value because post-earnings sales forecasts for next year have doubled. And there's up to 100% FCF beat potential next year.
