Our read on WBIL

ETF.net Research

In short

DMost equity funds ride the drop out. WBIL is built to sell into it: nightly quality screens pick the names, a tightening trailing stop decides when they go, and cash counts as a position. An active, risk-managed spin on the Russell 3000 universe, priced accordingly.

Stated mandate

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and potential current income while also seeking to protect principal during unfavorable market conditions.

Why people hold it

  • Stock picks come from nightly screens for quality fundamentals, reasonable value, positive revenue and earnings trends, and price momentum, not index weights.wbietfs.comwbietfs.com 2
  • Every holding gets a price goal and a stop allowance at purchase. The stop tightens as the stock climbs; if it is hit, the position is sold.wbietfs.com
  • Cash is a deliberate output. When the trend models flag risk, the process builds cash instead of staying fully invested.wbietfs.com
  • Running since 2014, from a manager that has used trend models for decades, so the discipline has been through real bear markets.wbishares.com

Worth knowing

  • At 1.45% a year, this is a premium price tag. Core active rivals like DFAU and FELC charge a small fraction of that.
  • Small asset base and light trading volume mean wider spreads and more price impact on large orders than a mainstream core fund.
  • Selling into weakness cuts both ways: stops can exit just before a rebound, and turnover runs high. Payouts come annually or semiannually, not quarterly.wbietfs.com
