WBI’s alternative ETFs are unconstrained and, therefore, do not seek to replicate any index. Each fund’s priority is to protect capital by limiting losses in down market cycles. WBI’s quantitative management process actively manages risk to capital by raising cash as risk increases or becoming more fully invested to seek return as risk abates. WBI Shares’ risk-managed ETFs offer advisors eight funds in four styles and two cap sizes, as well as two blended income portfolios.

WBI is leading the way in providing truly active, risk-managed products with the enhanced tax efficiency offered by ETFs.
