WBI Blends Risk & Return Balance

Updated: May 16

Since March 1984, WBI has embarked on a mission to revolutionize investment strategies for those approaching or already in retirement. Our clients, primarily business owners, have entrusted us with a pivotal mandate: “Invest our funds, but safeguard them above all.” For these individuals, with lifetimes of savings at stake, the threat of capital decrease is not just a concern—it's a direct threat to their financial security and retirement plans.


Mastering the Art of Risk Management

At WBI, the WBICy Quant Lab excels in blending passive, active, and alternative risk-managed strategies, crafting a balanced approach designed to minimize risks during downturns and excel in bull markets. Our award-winning quantitative model for portfolio optimization judiciously selects managers based on risk-adjusted returns, creating an optimal mix that enhances non-correlation and covariance. This bespoke strategy is tailored to meet each client’s unique needs, setting explicit loss thresholds that enable them to withstand volatile markets for the potential gains of bullish periods.


Innovative Portfolio Strategies for Risk Protection

To enhance the likelihood of achieving these targeted outcomes, our Cy WBI Blends incorporate key strategies like the WBI’s Cash Hedged and Trend Switch Portfolios:


  • Cash Hedged Portfolios: These portfolios utilize advanced security selection technology coupled with state-of-the-art cash hedging systems to minimize cash drag and shield against significant market downturns.


  • Trend Switch Portfolios: Powered by machine learning, these portfolios provide weekly market signals to optimize allocations between equities and bonds, maximizing gains during bull markets and mitigating losses during bear markets.



Time-Tested SMA Strategies


Over the past three decades, advisors have grown to trust WBI’s consistency through both prosperous and challenging market cycles. The commitment to capital protection across four market cycles has led advisors to advocate for a greater integration of our active risk management strategies in Cy optimized portfolios.


For those who are risk-averse, the Cy WBI Blends promise not just peace of mind but restful nights, knowing their investments are managed with unparalleled foresight and precision.
