Key Takeaways 1. Return stacking is an innovative approach to portfolio construction that allows investors to maintain core exposures while adding diversifying strategies without sacrificing traditional allocations. 2. Rebalancing timing can have a significant and often overlooked impact on portfolio performance, highlighting the importance of considering 'when' in addition to 'what' and 'how' in investment strategies. 4. The 13-month momentum anomaly suggests that the optimal combination of lookback period and holding period for momentum strategies may be around 13 months, challenging traditional views on momentum investing. 4. Quantitative strategies need to balance theoretical efficiency with practical implementation considerations when moving from research to product development, especially in the context of ETFs and retail investor accessibility.
