DYNF vs WBIL

DYNFAiShares U.S. Equity Factor Rotation Active ETF

WBILDWBI BullBear Quality 3000 ETF

In short

DYNF Most factor funds make you pick a lane: value, momentum, quality. DYNF rotates across five styles instead, letting a factor model decide which one leads, and charges an index-fund-ish 0.26% to do it.

WBIL Most 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

DYNF The Fund seeks to outperform the U.S. equity market through diversified, tactical exposure to style factors using a factor rotation model.

WBIL 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

• DYNF Five style factors in one ticket (value, quality, momentum, growth, low volatility), reweighted by a rotation model rather than locked to a single tilt.
• 0.26% is well under half the median fee in its active US equity peer group, which is unusual pricing for a strategy with a human-supervised model behind it.
• A multi-billion-dollar fund and one of the more actively traded names in its category, so getting in and out rarely becomes the hard part. Pays quarterly.
• Running since 2019 under one of the biggest ETF shops, and it stands among the strongest overall implementations in the active US equity group we track.

• WBIL 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

• DYNF The yardstick isn't the S&P 500: it's a custom blend of 80% MSCI USA and 20% MSCI USA Minimum Volatility, so a low-vol tilt is baked into the benchmark itself.
• Active by design. The factor mix shifts, the book runs to a couple hundred stocks, and a rotation call can leave it out of step with a plain US market index fund.
• Cheap for active, not the cheapest shelf: systematic peers DFAU (0.12%), AVLC (0.15%), DFAC (0.17%) and FELC (0.18%) all undercut it on fee.

• WBIL 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
