Investment Strategies

Striving to deliver superior, risk-adjusted returns through innovative equity, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternative solutions.

Equity

ENHANCED DIVIDEND INCOME STRATEGY (EDIS)

EDIS targets a portfolio level dividend yield that is two times the S&P 500 dividend yield and seeks capital appreciation over a multi-year investment horizon principally through investments in U.S. large cap stocks, while maintaining low volatility versus the broader U.S. large-cap equity market.

Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy (EDIS): Mutual Fund (WDIIX)

 

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. Real estate is a cyclical industry that is sensitive to interest rates, economic conditions (both nationally and locally), property tax rates and other factors.

 

DISCIPLINED CORE EQUITY STRATEGY

This strategy seeks total return by investing principally in high-quality, U.S. large-cap companies. Strategy seeks superior risk-adjusted returns versus the S&P 500 over a multi-year investment horizon.

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Steve Norcini

Disciplined Core Equity Strategy: Separate Account 

 

DIVIDEND GROWTH EQUITY STRATEGY

This strategy maintains a long-term, low-turnover approach that seeks to outperform the S&P 500 on a risk-adjusted basis by investing in high-quality companies that are either established dividend payers or are dividend initiators and expected, by the investment manager, to appreciate based on future earnings growth, strong cash flows, and growing dividends. 

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Andy Hopkins

LARGE-CAP STRATEGY FUND (WMLIX)

The fund invests primarily in a portfolio of equity securities of U.S. large-cap companies. The fund's investment advisor determines the tactical allocation of the fund's assets based on forecasts of asset risk and return profiles derived from a combination of fundamental, quantitative, and macroeconomic inputs. 

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Andy Hopkins

Large-Cap Strategy Fund: Mutual Fund (WMLIX)

INTERNATIONAL FUND (WINIX)

This fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation, primarily through a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. securities, with exposure to both developed and emerging markets. The Fund employs multiple investment advisors in an attempt to reduce portfolio volatility.

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Allen Choinski

International Fund: Mutual Fund (WINIX)

 

International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations and social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.

ESG

ESG EQUITY STRATEGY

The strategy seeks risks-adjusted returns over a multi-year investment horizon superior to the Russell 1000 Index, principally through investment in equity securities of U.S. large-cap companies with ESG qualities. Principally investments are in U.S. large-cap companies but holdings may be in non-U.S. and non-large-capitalization companies. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are integrated throughout the investment process. The strategy seeks to maintain higher ESG standards than its peers, based on a proprietary ESG scoring model, and invests in a diversified portfolio of high-quality companies.

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Steve Norcini

ESG Equity Strategy: Separate Account

 

A strategy’s focus on ESG or socially responsible factors will cause it to sell or avoid certain stocks. Such stocks may subsequently perform better than stocks selected considering ESG or socially responsible factors. The evaluation of ESG and socially responsible factors will affect a strategy’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors, regions, and countries and may impact the relative financial performance of such strategy depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. There is no guarantee that integrating an ESG or a socially responsible analysis will provide improved risk-adjusted returns over any specific time period.

Alternatives

GLOBAL ALPHA EQUITIES FUND (WRAIX)

This fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital with lower volatility than broader equity markets. The Fund retains Wellington Management LLP. to construct an actively managed, global and diversified portfolio of equity securities, and implements an index based hedging strategy in an effort to reduce the severity of portfolio losses in times of market downturns.

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Jordan Strauss

Global Alpha Equities Fund: Mutual Fund (WRAIX)

 

Investments such as mutual funds which focus on alternative strategies are subject to increased risk of loss of principal and are not suitable for all investors.

REAL ASSET FUND (WMRIX) 

This fund seeks to achieve long-term preservation of capital with current income by investing in “real return” assets principally consisting of global inflation debt protected securities, global real estate securities, and commodity/natural resource related securities.

Meet one of the Portfolio Managers - Jordan Strauss 

Real Asset Fund: Mutual Fund (WMRIX)

 

Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.

You could lose money by investing in the fund. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the fund is not a deposit of M&T Bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The investment advisor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the fund, and you should not expect that the investment advisor will provide financial support to the fund at any time.

You should consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other considerations is contained in the fund’s prospectus, which is available on our website, www.wilmingtonfunds.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

WFMC and WTIA, subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation, are the investment advisor and primary sub-advisor, respectively, of the Wilmington Funds. ALPS Distributors, Inc., which is not affiliated with M&T Bank Corporation, is the distributor of the Wilmington Funds.
