WisdomTree Launches CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios

WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, announces the launch of the CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios, a collaborative effort with CORBU, a research intelligence and advisory platform, designed for a rapidly changing global investment landscape. These model portfolios seek to capitalize on key policy pivots through a thematic view of global markets and asset allocation - a distinct process from the traditional index approach.

CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios are designed using CORBU’s proprietary “bottoms-up macro” thematic framework. This dynamic, data-driven process creates model portfolios that seek to exploit both strategic and tactical investment opportunities from a macroeconomic, geopolitical and national security perspective.

“CORBU’s experience on global economics and policy, combined with our innovative model trading and implementation platform, allows investors to harness the ever-evolving investment landscape in a forward-thinking way,” said Thomas Skrobe, Head of Product Solutions at WisdomTree. “This collaboration reinforces our dedication to help financial advisors deliver customized portfolios to their clients that in turn enables them to maximize efficiency and growth.”

The CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios will be available through the WisdomTree Portfolio and Growth Solutions platform. Designed for low turnover and driven by a continuous research process, materials summarizing the results of proprietary research that supported the model portfolio construction process will be made available on the platform. The current PolyMacro Model has three investment themes at its core:

• Re-Regionalization: One of the major economic trends in the post-COVID world is “friend-shoring” to “de-risk” supply chain vulnerabilities, particularly with China. Countries in North America and Eastern Europe have been the beneficiaries of “near-shoring” efforts by the manufacturing and industrial sectors - now reluctant to commit further capital in China.

• Return of the Alliance: Allies across Europe and Asia are critical to sustained U.S. global leadership across the economic, security, and technology frontiers. This renewed focus on the treaty allies and partners will be a key component of all ex-U.S. investment allocations.

• From the Fed’s PoV: The Federal Reserve is trapped in a “Price over Volume”, or PoV, spiral. PoV has led corporate management teams to prioritize maintaining margins rather than expanding market share. This dynamic will continue to drive volatility in U.S. monetary policymaking.

“The CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios are the first collaboration of its kind to integrate geopolitics, policy, and global macro analysis into an actionable investment framework, and we’re excited to partner with WisdomTree in this innovative direction,” said Renè Aninao, the Managing Partner of CORBU.

Samuel Rines, CORBU Managing Director and the Portfolio Manager for the CORBU x WT PolyMacro Model Portfolios notes that “WisdomTree’s active, differentiated suite of ETFs and Portfolio and Growth Solutions provide us with a unique capability to execute models in a cost-efficient manner, equipping investment advisors with the tools to navigate any market environment.”

Model rebalancing and trading will be provided by Adhesion Wealth, a provider of outsourced investment management solutions, giving their advisor clients direct access to a platform that will deliver a more customizable approach with advisor input. WisdomTree’s Portfolio and Growth Solutions platform enables advisors to prioritize customizable brand practices and fact sheets, investment design of models, and efficiencies across implementation, trading and tax transitions, which can serve as a springboard toward their growth.
