Investment objective & strategy
As of Aug. 1, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity 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. WisdomTree, Inc. (WisdomTree), the Index Provider and parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (WisdomTree Asset Management or the Adviser), has created the Index to provide exposure to European equity securities while at the same time hedging or neutralizing exposure to fluctuations in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar.

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. WisdomTree, Inc. (WisdomTree), the Index Provider and parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (WisdomTree Asset Management or the Adviser), has created the Index to provide exposure to European equity securities while at the same time hedging or neutralizing exposure to fluctuations in the value of the euro relative to the U.S. dollar. The Index consists of those dividend-paying companies within the WisdomTree International Equity Index, which is comprised of dividend-paying companies in the industrialized world, excluding Canada and the United States, that conduct their Primary Business Activities under the laws of a European country ( i.e. , Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal or Spain), list their shares on a securities exchange operating in one or more of the foregoing countries, trade in euros, have at least $1 billion in market capitalization, and derive at least 50% of their revenue from countries outside of Europe. 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. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following key criteria as of the annual screening date: (i) 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; (ii) market capitalization of at least $1 billion; (iii) median daily dollar trading volume of at least $100,000 for the preceding three months; and (iv) trading of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. 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. On the Indexs annual screening date, the maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 5%, and the Index caps the weight of constituents exposed to a single sector (except for the real estate sector) at 25%. The weight of constituents exposed to the real estate sector is capped at 15%. The weight of constituents exposed to any single country is capped at 25%. 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 on a pro rata basis 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 Index weight of a sector or individual constituent may fluctuate above or below specified caps and thresholds between rebalance dates in response to market conditions. WisdomTree 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 Industrials and Financials Sectors. 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 Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands, 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. The Index hedges against, or seeks to minimize the impact of, fluctuations in the relative value of the euro and the U.S. dollar. The Index is designed to have higher returns than an equivalent un-hedged investment in European equity securities when the U.S. dollar is going up in value relative to the euro. Conversely, the Index is designed to have lower returns than an equivalent un-hedged investment in European equity securities when the U.S. dollar is falling in value relative to the euro. To hedge its currency exposure to the euro, the Index applies a published one-month forward rate of the euro in U.S. dollars to the Indexs total equity exposure. If a country that had previously adopted the euro as its official currency were to revert back to its local currency, the country would remain in the Index and the Index would be hedged in such local currency as soon as practicable after forward rates become available for such currency. Currency forward contracts and/or currency futures contracts are used to hedge the Funds exposure to the euro. The contract value of currency forward contracts and currency futures contracts in the Fund is based on the aggregate exposure of the Fund and Index to the euro. While this approach is designed to minimize the impact of currency fluctuations on Fund returns, it does not necessarily eliminate the Funds exposure to all currency fluctuations. The return of the currency forward contracts and currency futures contracts held by the Fund may not fully hedge or completely offset the Funds exposure to the euro or fluctuations in its value relative to that of the U.S. dollar.
