WBIG

WBIG originally launched as a global large-cap fund. On Oct. 25, 2019 the fund acquired a small-cap version to create a total market strategy. The actively managed fund aims to earn income by screening companies with consist dividend payments and high dividend yields. WBIG also maintains a risk/return profile common to its sibling funds (WBIL, WBIF) — strong upside participation with lower volatility and downside protection. To get there, the managers can choose from a broad range of assets such as ETFs, MLPs, preferred stock, option overlays and bonds, including up to 50% on emerging market securities. Still, the fund aims for 80% equity exposure. While managers have a lot to choose from, they aim to dump losers quickly with a strict stop-loss approach. The fund's manager expects a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% annually which, from a portfolio management perspective, makes predicting and planning for WBIG's exposure very difficult.
