Investment objective & strategy
As of Aug. 1, 2025 · prospectusObjective. The WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree India 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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the constituent securities of its Index, each of which is a security issued by a company incorporated in India and the shares of which are listed on an Indian stock exchange, or in … 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. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in the constituent securities of its Index, each of which is a security issued by a company incorporated in India and the shares of which are listed on an Indian stock exchange, or in financial instruments with economic characteristics that are similar to those of, or that provide investment exposure to one or more of the market risks associated with, the constituent securities. 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 companies incorporated, listed, and traded in India, while at the same time hedging or neutralizing exposure to fluctuations in the value of the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar. The Index is based on a rules-based methodology overseen and implemented by the WisdomTree India Index Committee. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced annually. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following key criteria as of the annual screening date: (i) be incorporated in India; (ii) be listed on the Bombay (Mumbai) Stock Exchange; (iii) have a float-adjusted market capitalization (float-adjusted means that the share amounts reflect only shares available to investors) of at least $200 million; (iv) have a median daily dollar trading volume of at least $200,000 for each of the preceding six months; and (v) have a trading volume of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. The top 75 companies by float-adjusted market capitalization that meet the investment criteria are selected as Index constituents. Each constituent is assigned an Index weight based on the companys float-adjusted market capitalization, as modified to comply with limitations set forth in the Index methodology, certain of which are described below. On the Indexs annual screening date, the maximum weight of any constituent in the Index is capped at 10%, and the weight of constituents exposed to any one sector is capped at 30%. 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 an individual constituent or constituents exposed to a single sector may fluctuate above or below the specified caps 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 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. The Index hedges against, or seeks to minimize the impact of, fluctuations in the relative value of the Indian rupee and the U.S. dollar. The Index is designed to have higher returns than an equivalent un-hedged investment in Indian equity securities when the U.S. dollar is going up in value relative to the Indian rupee. Conversely, the Index is designed to have lower returns than an equivalent un-hedged investment in Indian equity securities when the U.S. dollar is falling in value relative to the Indian rupee. To hedge its currency exposure to the Indian rupee, the Index applies a published one-month forward rate of the Indian rupee in U.S. dollars to the Indexs total equity exposure. Currency forward contracts and/or currency futures contracts are used to hedge the Funds exposure to the Indian rupee. 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 Indian rupee. 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 Indian rupee or fluctuations in its value relative to that of the U.S. dollar.
