Outsmart the 60/40 Trap: How Return Stacking Changes the Game

This investment strategy adds alpha, cuts risk, and doesn’t touch your core portfolio. In this episode, Mike Philbrick breaks down how systematic macro strategies can offer powerful diversification benefits—and how Return Stacked™ portfolios make it possible for investors to keep their traditional equity and bond allocations intact while layering on a return stream designed to thrive in challenging market environments. Mike and Pierre unpack the behavioral pitfalls of traditional diversification, the institutional roots of portable alpha, and how the RGBM ETF (Return Stacked™ Global Balanced & Macro) helps solve the portfolio funding dilemma for Canadian investors.
