MiB: Corey Hoffstein on Return Stacking  



 

 

This week, we speak with Corey Hoffstein, CEO and CIO of Newfound Research. Corey pioneered the concept of ‘return stacking’ and is one of the masterminds behind the Return Stacked ETF Suite, which manages roughly $750 million across five ETFs. Corey’s work has been published in the Journal of Indexing and the Journal of Alternative Investments. He is also the host of the popular podcast on quantitative investing “Flirting with Models.”

We discuss how he launched Newfound Research in his dorm in college, running quantiitative models. He also explains what it takes to launch an ETF, and how return stacking actually works.

A list of his favorite books is here; A transcript of our conversation is available here Tuesday.
