We believe that adding stops to a typical diversified dividend portfolio can maximize investor outcomes. The WBI BullBear Dividend Income strategy is intended for investors with a moderate appetite for risk, who want consistent return over their long-term investment.
Our Philosophy
We look to maximize up-market capture while at the same time minimizing down-market capture through WBI's time-tested Power Factor security selection and Dynamic Trailing Stop Process.
Einstein said that compounding is the most powerful financial force in the universe. WBI attempts to build enhanced compounding efficiency into our investment management approach for every strategy we design.
When market conditions are favorable, your portfolio needs to capture consistent return to grow capital and income to keep pace with inflation that can rob you of your purchasing power.
The Dividend Income strategy targets an equity-focused portfolio of global high-yield dividend stocks, for moderate investors who are seeking consistent return or supplemental income in retirement.
80% Stocks | 20% Bonds
Allocations are subject to change.
The Dividend Income strategy uses our Power Factor® security selection, bond model, and dynamic trailing stop process to manage capital. Stocks go through rigorous analysis to meet our high standards of quality and timeliness. A combination of “power factors” are applied to our daily screening for financial analysis of each stock to find the best opportunities to buy. Our dynamic trailing stop process raises cash as stock prices fall to help protect investor capital and harvest gains. The process is designed to keep us invested when market trends are deemed favorable or to build cash when conditions indicate a high degree of risk with a low probability of success.
An important potential benefit of active management is the risk protection for the investor, most critically during major market downturns. The worst bear markets of the past two decades have been devastating for investors who tried to buy and hold popular passive-index strategies but failed. A 40-50% decline like the S&P 500 realized during the Dot-Com Crash and Financial Crisis is catastrophic for many, especially those in or nearing retirement. We are committed to helping protect investors from these types of major losses.

Net of Fee Performance is net of the maximum WBI investment management fee and includes reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. WBI uses a model fee approach which consists of netting down 100 bps from gross returns on a monthly basis.
Benchmark performance does not include deductions of transaction and custodial charges or investment management fees, which would likely reduce performance results. Because the strategy involves active management of a potentially wide range of assets, no widely recognized benchmark is likely to represent performance of any managed account. WBI managed accounts may own assets and follow investment strategies which cause them to differ materially from the composition and performance of the benchmarks shown. Indices are unmanaged and may not be invested in directly.

The WBI Dynamic Trailing Stop (DTS) is not a stop loss order or stop limit order placed with a brokerage firm, but an internal process for monitoring price movements. While the DTS may be used to initiate WBI’s process for selling a security, it does not assure that a particular execution price will be received.
