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 any borrowings for investment purposes, in constituents of the Index and/or investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially similar to the economic characteristics of such constituents.

WisdomTree, Inc. (“WisdomTree”), the Index Provider and parent company of the Fund’s investment adviser, WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WisdomTree Asset Management” or the “Adviser”), designed the Index to provide exposure to U.S. equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills that adapts, on a daily basis, to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market. The Index is maintained in accordance with a rules-based methodology overseen and implemented by the WisdomTree Core Equity Index Committee (the “Index Committee”).

The Index consists of the equity constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index, U.S. Treasury bills, and other instruments that in combination have economic characteristics similar or equivalent to those securities. The WisdomTree 500 Index is a market-capitalization weighted index composed of equity securities of U.S. large-capitalization companies. A company is considered a U.S. company if it conducts its Primary Business Activities in the U.S. 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 company’s 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.

The Index seeks to adapt to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market by allocating its weightings among U.S. equity securities or U.S. Treasury bills as indicated by a price trend signal developed by WisdomTree. This signal determines the Index’s constituent allocation by applying a “moving average crossover” analysis to the total returns of the WisdomTree 500 Index, which generates a ratio comparing the WisdomTree 500 Index’s closing price on a given day with its average closing price over the last 200 days. Where the ratio is above 1.01 for two consecutive trading days, the Index allocates 100% of its weight to the WisdomTree 500 Index. The constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index included in the Index are market capitalization weighted. Where the ratio is at or below 1.01 for two consecutive trading days, the Index allocates 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills. Once 100% of the Index’s weight is allocated to the WisdomTree 500 Index, that allocation will be maintained as long as the ratio remains above 1.01. Similarly, once 100% of the Index’s weight is allocated to U.S. Treasury bills, that allocation will be maintained as long as the ratio remains at or below 1.01. The moving average crossover ratio is calculated on each business day, with the Index changing its allocation (i.e., reconstituting the Index) to the WisdomTree International 500 Index or U.S. Treasury bills, as needed in response to the ratio.

To enhance responsiveness during market downturns, the Index incorporates a breadth overlay. This measure captures the percentage of WisdomTree 500 Index constituents that are trading above their respective 200-day average closing price. When 100% of the Index weight is allocated to U.S. Treasury bills and more than 15% of the constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index trade above their respective 200-day average closing price, the Index reallocates 100% of its weight to the WisdomTree 500 Index. If the market price of the WisdomTree 500 Index drops by more than 5% since the Index’s allocation to the WisdomTree 500 Index, a stop-loss mechanism is applied, which causes the Index to allocate to 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills at market close on the day following the day on which the stop-loss threshold is breached.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in a combination of investments that provide direct and indirect exposure to U.S. equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills. The Fund may invest in futures to achieve its exposure to some or all of the constituents of the Index. For example, the Fund may determine to invest up to 100% of its assets in futures that provide short exposure to equities when the Index allocates 100% of its weight to U.S. Treasury bills to hedge exposure to the U.S. equity market. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund also may invest in, among other investments, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and in U.S. government securities, money market funds, and cash and cash equivalents, to serve as collateral or margin for the Fund’s investments in derivatives investments. The Fund expects to engage in active and frequent trading of its portfolio securities.

The Adviser currently uses a widely recognized industry classification methodology to identify the extent of the Fund’s exposure to a sector or industry. A sector typically is composed of multiple industries. While the Fund’s sector exposure may vary from time to time, the Fund is expected to have significant exposure (e.g., approximately 15% or more of the Fund’s holdings) to the Information Technology Sector.
