Little Silver, N.J.-based WBI Investments has been given the [regulatory green light](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1591939/000119312514038804/d671844d40app.htm) to launch index-based as well as actively managed ETFs, according to a regulatory filing. The firm will join the rapidly growing ETF market, which encompasses some 1,500 funds, managing in excess of $1.6 trillion in assets.

The firm, which is employing the “Absolute Shares” moniker for its ETFs, is [prepping a slate of dividend bond and equity ETFs](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1591939/000119312513466984/d641650dn1a.htm) to provide investors with tools to navigate the current ultra-low interest-rate environment. With bond yields still at historical lows, using dividend-paying equities as a yield-replacement strategy continues to be a major investment theme for investors in 2014 as it was in 2013.

WBI’s proposed ETFs, including their proposed tickers, are as follows:

- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global SMID Growth ETF, WBIA
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global SMID Value ETF, WBIB
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global SMID Yield ETF, WBIC
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global SMID Select ETF, WBID
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global Large Growth ETF, WBIE
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global Large Value ETF, WBIF
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global Large Yield ETF, WBIG
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Global Large Select ETF, WBIL
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Tactical Bond ETF, WBII
- WBI AbsoluteCore Shares Tactical High Income ETF, WBIH

No associated fees were detailed in the filing.
