incremental (portfolio returns) Explanation: just one possibility, just a(n educated) guess, given the available context and the rather unusual terminology. The meaning could indeed be to seek to generate, withing the portfolio, positive, albeit small, marginal, incremental returns [either absolute or relative to indices], despite all-time highs, thanks to appropriate investing/trading approaches/ideas, with perhaps the assumption that because of said all-time highs, only small, 'on the margin'//marginal returns are left to be had. |

in terms of mobilized capital Explanation: The margin refers to the amount of capital mobilized in an investment. Good "returns on margin" mean good returns with as little demand for investment as possible. That makes sense in the context, as the text describes a situation in which equity and bonds are particularly expensive and it would thus be difficult to obtain good returns on margin. https://www.managedfuturesinvesting.com/what-is-return-on-margin/ |

| Reference: margin Reference information: Buying on margin is borrowing money from a broker to purchase stock. You can think of it as a loan from your brokerage. Margin trading allows you to buy more stock than you'd be able to normally. To trade on margin, you need a margin account. |
