Investment objective & strategy
As of Aug. 1, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The WisdomTree International High Dividend Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree International High Dividend Index (the Index).
Strategy. The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. The Index is a modified capitalization-weighted index that is comprised of companies with high dividend yields selected from the WisdomTree International Equity Index, which is comprised of dividend-paying companies in the industrialized world, excluding Canada and the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following key criteria as … The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. The Index is a modified capitalization-weighted index that is comprised of companies with high dividend yields selected from the WisdomTree International Equity Index, which is comprised of dividend-paying companies in the industrialized world, excluding Canada and the United States. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following key criteria as of the annual screening date: (i) conduct its Primary Business Activities and list its shares on a securities exchange operating in one or more of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Israel, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, or Singapore; (ii) payment of at least $5 million in gross cash dividends ( i.e. , total dividends paid including capital gains distributions and non-taxable distributions and without excluding taxes, fees and other expenses) on shares of common stock during the preceding annual cycle; (iii) market capitalization of at least $200 million; (iv) median daily dollar trading volume of at least $200,000 for the preceding three months; and (v) trading of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on one or more of the following factors: country of organization or incorporation, country in which a companys headquarters is located, the country to which a company has the greatest risk exposure, and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. Securities eligible for inclusion in the Index are ranked by dividend yield as adjusted by a composite risk score based on fundamental valuation, quality and momentum characteristics. Securities ranking in the highest 30% by dividend yield and top 80% by composite risk score are selected for inclusion in the Index. If a company currently in the Index is no longer ranked in the top 30% by dividend yield at the time of the annual screening date but remains ranked in the top 35% by dividend yield, the company will remain in the Index. Securities are weighted in the Index based on dividends paid over the prior annual cycle. Companies that pay a greater total dollar amount of dividends are more heavily weighted. At the time of the Indexs annual screening date, the maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 5%. On the Indexs annual screening date, the Index caps the weight of constituents exposed to any one country and any one sector (except for the real estate sector) at 25%. The weight of constituents exposed to the real estate sector is capped at 15%. The specified caps and thresholds described above are applied concurrently and in a manner designed to seek to minimize deviation from a constituents initial or intended weighting in the Index. The Index also may adjust the weight of individual constituents on the annual screening date based on certain quantitative thresholds or limits tied to key metrics of a constituent security, such as its trading volume. To the extent the Index reduces an individual constituents weight, the excess weight will be reallocated pro rata among the other constituents. Similarly, if the Index increases a constituents weight, the weight of the other constituents will be reduced on a pro rata basis to contribute the weight needed for such increase. The weight of a sector, country, or individual constituent in the Index may fluctuate above or below specified caps and thresholds between rebalance dates in response to market conditions. WisdomTree, Inc. (WisdomTree), the Index Provider and parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (WisdomTree Asset Management or the Adviser), currently uses the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS ), a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poors Financial Services LLC, to identify the extent of the Indexs exposure to a sector or industry. A GICS sector typically is composed of multiple industries. Because the Fund seeks to track the Index, it is expected to have the same sector and industry exposure as the Index. While the Indexs and the Funds sector exposure may vary from time to time, as of June 30, 2025, the Index, and, therefore, the Fund, had significant exposure ( e.g. , approximately 15% or more of the Indexs total weight) to the Financials Sector. To the extent the Index is concentrated in the securities of companies assigned to a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will seek to concentrate its investments ( i.e. , invest more than 25% of its assets) in such industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index. As of June 30, 2025, the equity securities of companies that conduct their Primary Business Activities in Europe, particularly the United Kingdom, comprised a significant portion ( e.g. , approximately 15% or more of the Indexs total weight) of the Index, although the Indexs geographic exposure may change from time to time. As a result, the Fund can be expected to also have significant exposure to these countries and/or regions.
