Strategies
DBi seek to match or outperform portfolios of leading hedge funds by identifying, and investing directly in, the key drivers (factors) that explain recent pre-fee performance. DBi’s proprietary Dynamic Beta Engine is based on over a decade of research into the primary sources of returns among Equity Long/short, Managed Futures and Multi-strategy hedge funds. Dynamic Beta portfolios consist only of highly-liquid futures and/or ETFs.
