Fund Description: WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, formerly WisdomTree Emerging Currency Fund, formerly WisdomTree Dreyfus Emerging Currency Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund or Actively Managed ETF which is a separate investment portfolio of the WisdomTree Trust, an open-end investment management company. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE: The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) and thus does not seek to replicate the performance of a specified index. FUND STRATEGY: The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to the currencies and money market rates of selected emerging market countries. The Fund seeks to provide exposure to currencies and money market rates from emerging and developing economies in three regions of the world: (i) Asia, (ii) Latin America and (iii) Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Fund initially intends to invest in a subset of the following markets: Brazil, Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey, and Thailand. The Fund attempts to achieve exposure to the most liquid currencies within each of the three broad regions, while at the same time maintaining geographic and economic diversity across these regions. The specific set of currencies is selected at the date of Fund launch and on the annual assessment date each year and generally remains the same throughout the year. The selected currencies are equal weighted in terms of U.S. dollar value at the annual assessment date. The Fund is rebalanced quarterly in order to maintain this equal weighting. In order to maintain geographic diversity, the Fund’s exposure to each of the three broad geographic regions is limited to 45% of its total asset value on the annual assessment date and at each quarterly rebalancing. More frequent rebalancings may occur in response to significant market events. A significant event might include, for example, market conditions that significantly disrupt liquidity or result in the reclassification of a currency (from emerging to developed, for example). Currencies that generally would be considered liquid may be ineligible for investment or dropped from the Fund as a result of government action or other market events if doing so would be in the best interest of the Fund. Because the market for money market securities in the selected emerging markets generally is less liquid and accessible to foreign investors than corresponding markets in more developed countries, the Fund intends to achieve exposure to these markets by investing primarily in short-term U.S. money market securities and forward currency contracts and swaps of the constituent currencies. The combination of U.S. money market securities with forward currency contracts and currency swaps is designed to create a position economically similar to a money market security denominated in each of the selected currencies. In aggregate, the Fund’s investments should create exposure that is economically similar to a basket of money market securities denominated in each of the selected currencies. A forward currency contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. A currency swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange one currency for another at a future rate. FUND MANAGEMENT: As investment adviser, WisdomTree Asset Management has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust and also provides an investment program, fund administration and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the Fund to operate. Mellon Capital Management Corporation and the Dreyfus Corporation serves as the sub-advisers to the Fund.
