Investment Overview

SBI AlphaIQ Stock Portfolios use AthenaInvest's proprietary Strategy Based Investing (SBI)methodology to identify and invest in a concentrated number of stocks that are held by the most successful active equity managers.

Each month, all stocks in the equity universe are assigned an AlphaIQ score based on the composition of the managers holding each stock. Stocks that receive the highest AlphaIQ scores are those that are held by the most successful active equity managers. High AlphaIQ stocks are selected for inclusion in the portfolios.

Stocks are sold when the AlphaIQ score drops below a predetermined level.
