About WMBLX
WesMark Balanced Fund is a mutual fund designed to achieve both capital appreciation and income by employing a diversified, multi-asset strategy. The fund allocates its portfolio across major asset classes, typically investing 30–70% in stocks, 30–70% in bonds, and up to 40% in money market securities, though the exact allocations can fluctuate within these ranges to reflect changing market conditions and the fund manager’s outlook. This flexible approach allows the fund to adapt to varying economic climates while striving for moderate risk and return, making it suitable for investors seeking a balance between growth and income. The fund primarily holds U.S. securities, targeting a mix of large and small company stocks, fixed-income instruments, and cash equivalents. Its structure is characteristic of the “Moderate Allocation” Morningstar category, where funds are expected to maintain a strategic equity exposure—typically between 50% and 70%—and provide exposure to both equity and fixed-income markets. WesMark Balanced Fund plays a role in the financial market by offering investors a single-vehicle solution for diversification, risk mitigation, and participation in a broad set of investment opportunities.
