WBI Trend Switch ETFs

ADVANCED MARKET AND ECONOMETRIC TREND SIGNALS

WBI has utilized domestic stock and fixed income trend models in our quantitative management process for nearly 30 years. The Trend Switch ETFs are designed to give investors simple solutions aiming to optimize outcomes in bull and bear market cycles.

Equity Model Design

The model is designed to combine macro-economic factors and technical market trends into one model to produce a “risk on” or “risk off” indication. Proprietary confidence scores analyze factor model data and technical trends to improve signal quality and performance outcomes. As factor and technical data improves or degrades, the confidence scores will influence “bull” or “bear” indications across each factor model. A combined confidence score determines whether the model is a “risk on” or “risk off” signal.

Bond Model Design

The bond model considers interest rates, price momentum, yield, currency, and equity earnings to determine the optimal duration and credit quality for fixed income holdings. After analyzing these factors, the model pinpoints the most effective duration (short or long) and the best credit opportunities (US Treasuries, corporate, or high yield). As factor and technical data improves or degrades, the confidence scores will influence credit quality and duration signals for the model. Proprietary confidence scores analyze factor model data and technical trends to improve signal quality and performance outcomes.
