Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 6, 2025) - LongPoint Asset Management Inc. ("LongPoint"), ReSolve Asset Management Inc. ("ReSolve"), ReSolve Asset Management SEZC (Cayman) ("ReSolve Global"), and Newfound Research LLC ("Newfound") today announced the listing of the Return Stacked® Global Balanced & Macro ETF (TSX: RGBM) ("RGBM") on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
RGBM is the addition of a Canadian listed ETF to the successful family of U.S. Return Stacked® ETFs. This follows the achievement of a major milestone in the U.S., surpassing $1 billion CAD in assets under management (AUM) in less than two years. ReSolve serves as portfolio manager to RGBM with ReSolve Global acting as portfolio sub-advisor. Each of LongPoint, ReSolve, ReSolve Global and Newfound are promoters of RGBM.
RGBM and the ETF Partnership Platform
RGBM is now the second ETF launched under LongPoint's unique ETF partnership platform.
"LongPoint simplifies the launch, operation and growth of ETFs which can be daunting and commercially unviable for many asset managers looking to enter the Canadian ETF market. With our flexible platform, it can allow our partners to focus on their own areas of expertise while we operate and oversee the ETF," said Steven Hawkins, CEO of LongPoint. "LongPoint is excited to be partnering with ReSolve, ReSolve Global and Newfound on RGBM and I am personally thrilled to be working again with the teams at ReSolve and ReSolve Global."
"We knew we wanted to bring our RGBM strategy to Canadian investors in an ETF wrapper and are very excited to be partnering with leading firms like LongPoint and the TSX to do so," said Mike Philbrick, CEO of ReSolve Global. "Collaborating again with Steve Hawkins under his innovative ETF partnership platform is highly beneficial for us, given his deep product expertise and proven success in the Canadian ETF industry."
RGBM seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing, directly or indirectly, in a global balanced strategy consisting of global equity securities and fixed income securities, and using leverage and derivative instruments, to stack on the returns of a systematic macro strategy that provides exposure to major global asset classes including but not limited to equity indices, volatility indices, fixed income indices, interest rates, commodities and currencies. RGBM uses leverage and derivative instruments to stack the returns of a global balanced strategy with those of a systematic macro strategy.
RGBM allows Canadian individuals, advisors and institutional investors the ability to add a diversifying alternative to their portfolios by accessing the power of Return Stacking.
Key Benefits of a Return Stacked® Approach
Multi-Layered Exposure: Aims to deliver the returns of both a balanced global portfolio stacked with a systematic global macro overlay in a single investment.
Diversification: The systematic global macro strategy has historically exhibited low correlation to both stocks and bonds.
Inflation Hedging: Historically, with the ability to go both long and short global futures markets (including equities, bonds, commodities, and currencies), systematic macro strategies have generally exhibited some inflation-hedging benefits.
A New Era in Portfolio Construction
"For allocators, liquid alternative diversification has historically been a process of addition through subtraction, where investors are forced to sell core stocks and bonds to make room in their portfolio. Return Stacking enables an entirely different paradigm of portfolio construction by allowing investors to gain 2 for 1 exposure to distinct strategies inside a single investment," said Adam Butler, Chief Investment Officer of ReSolve Global.
"We are incredibly excited to bring RGBM's innovative investment approach to the ETF market, allowing Canadian investors to allocate in a similar manner to how many of our world-class pension plans have done for decades," said Rodrigo Gordillo, President of ReSolve Global. "RGBM has the potential to completely change how asset allocation is approached by providing investors access to a liquid alternative packaged in a way that can align with their behavioral preferences.
RGBM has closed its offering of initial shares and will begin trading on the TSX when the market opens this morning.
