Our read on WBIF
DA 2014-vintage active value fund with an unusual escape hatch: its sell discipline can park a big slice of the portfolio in cash. Roughly 30 names, a global hunting ground, and a price tag well above the typical value ETF.
The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and potential current income while attempting to protect principal in unfavorable markets. It actively invests across domestic and foreign companies of all capitalization sizes and may use tactical investments.
Why people hold it
- Cash counts as a position here. The selection process evaluates cash and cash equivalents alongside stocks, and the fund can hold a significant percentage of net assets there.wbietfs.com
- A wide hunting ground: value names across the US, developed international and emerging markets, at every market cap, plus room for tactical positions.
- Concentrated on purpose at about 30 holdings, so individual picks carry real weight instead of getting diluted across hundreds of names.
- Launched in 2014, early in the active equity ETF wave, so it has a live record through several full market cycles rather than a backtest.
Worth knowing
- At 1.52% a year it costs more than double the 0.63% median of its global value peer group. Cheaper active options in that cohort include AVGV at 0.28% and FEGE at 0.50%.
- Small and thinly traded, so spreads can run wider and sizable orders can move the price more than in the category's household names.
- The flip side of the cash option: the prospectus flags that extended stretches in cash or equivalents can lag other investments and work against the fund's objective.wbietfs.com
