In the Black-Scholes model, take Bt​=e−ρ(T−t) as a zero-coupon bond numéraire. Holding the fixed stock value θBt​ requires gt​=θBt​/St​ shares. The self-financing conditions for smooth stock and bond holdings give
ht​=B0​w0​​−θ+θlog(St​/S0​)+θ(σ2/2−ρ)t

units of the bond. Since Vt​=gt​St​+ht​Bt​, this yields the displayed wealth. Under the risk-neutral measure, Vt​/Bt​=w0​/B0​+θσWtQ​: the discounted gain is a constant multiple of Brownian motion.
