WBI’s Power Factor strategies unleash the power of WBI’s security selection process by maintaining a fully invested approach to maximize return. These portfolios utilize WBI’s multi-factor security selection models designed over the last three decades to develop the most powerful factor combinations to find the strongest stocks to buy.
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 process with more advanced factor layering aimed to improve quality, timeliness, and return potential.
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.
WBI’s time-tested Power Factor security selection process includes advanced factor layering aimed to improve quality, timeliness, and return potential. Extensive backtesting and optimizations combined with millions of factor model simulations produce our optimal universe of dividend-paying stocks that fit a particular style and cap size.
In contrast to WBI’s conservative active risk-managed process, the Power Factor series does not raise cash as risk of capital loss increases. These strategies instead employ a smart beta-style1 approach to improve portfolio holdings and returns each quarter by rebalancing the portfolios with stocks exhibiting the highest Power Factor scores and performance potential based on a combination of the factors. The securities with the top Power Factor scores receive the highest portfolio weights, and securities that fail to make the grade are eliminated. Quarterly rebalancing after stocks have reported earnings allows the Power Factor process to favor those securities exhibiting the strongest fundamental performance trends. It also enforces a buy low-sell high discipline by trimming or eliminating stocks that show deteriorating fundamental trends or harvesting gains from stocks that have had outsized performance.

The process by which securities are selected and assets are allocated within WBI Power Factor SMA strategies, which are aggressive, will typically occur no more frequently than quarterly, which may cause accounts invested at different times during a quarter to reflect implementation of the strategies on a different basis than other accounts managed to the same or a similar strategy. The accounts may invest in and hold securities which are declining in value for an extended period of time, typically without taking a temporary defensive position, as part of the normal operation of the investment strategy.
