Investment firms are always on the hunt for well-performing assets to maximize their portfolios, and WBI Investments is no exception. The recent filing of their Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F holdings shows the company's shifts in holdings from various issuers across different sectors. As we delve into the report's details, we will analyze the significant holdings changes of the company.
WBIG, WBIY, WBIL, and WBIF
WBI Investments holds Absolute Shs Tr with a decrease of -3.9%, 12.3% increase, 0.2% increase and a -2% decrease in Q4 2022 from Q3 2022, respectively.
ABSOLUTE SHS TR is an actively managed ETF that seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests in a variety of different asset types, including equity securities, ETFs, and other mutual funds. It has a net asset value of $38,333,157. The decrease in WBIG's holding in this fund is not significant and is only a slight decrease of -3.9%. On the other hand, the 12.3% spike in the holding of WBIY in the ABSOLUTE SHS TR indicates a change in strategy, indicating the fund performed well during the Q4 2022 reporting quarter.
BIL, COM, PTMC, VB, and XLP
There is an overall increase in the WBI's holding of the SPDR Ser Tr by 57.5% and a decrease in Direxion Shs ETF Tr by -7.3% from Q3 to Q4 2022. PACER FDS TR decreased by -3.7%, VANGUARD INDEX FDS is down by -6.9%, while SELECT SECTOR SPDR TR is up by 13.7% in the Q4 2022 from the previous quarter.
These five US equity ETFs encompass different sectors, including consumer staples, information technology, financials, and telecoms. While the decrease in COM, the increase in XLP holdings for Q4 2022 is quite significant. However, WBI reduced its holding positions in VB, PTMC and COM funds, reflecting a shift in investment strategy, implying the investment firm may be betting on group stocks during the Q4 quarter.
IBM, PPC, ABBV, and UNH
The WBI Investments holding of the International Business Machs rose by 218.1%, the biggest increase within this category, while the ABBVIE INC increased by 7113%. UNITEDHEALTH GROUP INC also saw an increase of 7602%. However, BROADCOM INC does not reflect any change.
These companies belong to different sectors, including information technology, healthcare, and communication services. The huge increase in IBM's holding is a validation of the company's growth strategy, while ABBV and UNH's gains suggest favorable performances during the Q4 2022 quarter. We will monitor if this trend will continue into the next quarter.
Conclusion
WBI Investments Q3 2022 vs. Q4 2022 13F filings showed more movements in holding positions of different ETFs, stocks and bonds. While some funds experienced a decrease in holding positions, others saw growth, indicating the company's shift in focus and investment strategy. As the market remains unpredictable, WBI's Q4 2022 position will undoubtedly continue to change as the investment firm keeps searching for premium assets to boost performance.
