**WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Fund**

**Investment Objective**

The WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Fund (the "Fund") seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Index (the "Index").

**Fees and Expenses of the Fund**

The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund. **You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.** The fees are expressed as a percentage of the Fund's average net assets.

**Shareholder Fees** (fees paid directly from your investment)

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Annual Fund Operating Expenses** (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) | |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management Fees | 0.32% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Other Expenses | 0.00%<sup>1</sup> |
| **Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses** | 0.32% |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| 1 | Other Expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year. |

---

**Example**

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem or hold all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **1 Year** | **3 Years** |
| $33 | $103 |

---

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the Fund's Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. The Fund is newly organized and therefore, portfolio turnover information is not yet available.

**Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund**

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.

**2**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WisdomTree Trust Prospectus<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

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.

To the extent the Index is concentrated in the securities of companies assigned to a particular industry or group of related industries, the Fund will seek to concentrate its investments (*i.e.*, invest more than 25% of its assets) in such industry or group of related industries to approximately the same extent as the Index.

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

You can lose money on your investment in the Fund. While certain of the risks are prioritized in terms of their relevance to the Fund's investment strategies, most risks are presented in alphabetical order. This ordering approach is designed to both facilitate an investor's understanding of the Fund's risks and enable an investor to easily locate and compare risks among funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a "principal risk" of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Some or all of these risks may adversely affect the Fund's net asset value per share ("NAV"), trading price, yield, total return and/or ability to meet its investment objective. For more information about the risks of investing in the Fund, see the sections in the Fund's Prospectus titled "Additional Principal Risk Information About the Fund" and "Additional Non-Principal Risk Information."

■ **Adaptive Strategy Risk.** In seeking to adapt to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market, the Index and, therefore, the Fund, allocates its assets to equity or fixed income securities. These allocations and the timing of the allocations may result in performance that is less favorable than that of a portfolio that does not make such allocations. There can be no guarantee that the adaptive strategy will work as intended. The strategy may result in periods of underperformance, limit the Fund's ability to participate in rising markets, and increase transaction costs.

WisdomTree Trust Prospectus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **3**<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**■** **Large-Capitalization Investing Risk.** The Fund invests in the securities of large-capitalization companies. As a result, the Fund's performance
 may be adversely affected if securities of these companies underperform securities of smaller capitalization companies or the market
 as a whole. Large-capitalization companies may adapt more slowly to new competitive challenges and be subject to slower growth during
 times of economic expansion.

■ **U.S. Government Securities Risk.** U.S. government securities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed income and debt securities, particularly interest rate risk and credit risk, but may provide relatively lower returns than those of other securities. Similar to other issuers, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of the Fund's U.S. government securities to decline. In addition, U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government involve credit risk that is greater than other types of U.S. government securities.

■ **Investment Risk.** As with all investments, an investment in the Fund is subject to loss, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time.

■ **Market Risk.** The trading prices of securities and other instruments fluctuate in response to a variety of factors, such as economic, financial or political events that impact the entire market, market segments, or specific issuers. The Fund's NAV and market price may fluctuate significantly in response to these and other factors. As a result, an investor could lose money over short or long periods of time.

■ **Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV.** As with all ETFs, Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market prices of the Fund's shares in the secondary market generally differ from the Fund's daily NAV, and there may be times when the market price of the shares is more than the NAV (premium) or less than the NAV (discount). This risk is heightened in times of market volatility or periods of steep market declines. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

■ **Cash Redemption Risk.** The Fund generally redeems shares for cash or otherwise includes cash as part of its redemption proceeds. The Fund may be required to sell or unwind its portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to pay out redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize capital gains that it might not have recognized if it had satisfied such redemption requests with securities held by the Fund (*i.e.*, redeemed its shares in kind). As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gains distributions than a fund that redeems its shares in kind.

■ **Counterparty and Issuer Credit Risk.** As a result of its financial condition, the issuer of a debt security or other instrument, or the counterparty to a derivative or other contract, may default, become unable to pay interest or principal due or otherwise fail to honor its obligations or be perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as being in such situations. The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning in response to issuer or counterparty defaults, changes in the credit ratings of the Fund's portfolio investments and/or perceptions related thereto.

■ **Cybersecurity Risk.** The Fund and its service providers may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cybersecurity, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cybersecurity, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund's operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund's third-party service providers, market makers, institutional investors authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund (*i.e.*, Authorized Participants), or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches.

■ **Derivatives Risk.** Derivatives are financial instruments that derive their performance from an underlying reference asset, such as a currency or a commodity. Generally, derivatives are sophisticated investments that may pose risks that are different from or greater than those posed by investing directly in the underlying reference asset. For example, the return on a derivative instrument may not correlate with that of its underlying reference asset, and minimal requisite initial investments necessary to purchase derivatives positions may expose the Fund to losses in excess of those amounts. Derivatives also can be volatile and may be less liquid than other investments. As a result, the value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. The Fund may use futures contracts to implement its principal investment strategies. Risks specific to futures contracts, as well as other risks related to the use of derivatives, generally, such as counterparty and issuer credit risk, are described in greater detail elsewhere in the Fund's Prospectus. A futures contract is an agreement to buy or sell assets at a fixed price, but to be delivered and paid for later.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

■ **Geographic Investment Risk.** The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States.

**Investments in the United States** The economic, political, regulatory and other events and conditions that affect issuers and investments in the United States differ significantly from those associated with other countries and regions. For example, routine political events, such as a presidential election, can have a significant effect on the U.S. markets and lead to periods of increased volatility. U.S. financial markets also have become increasingly globalized, hosting participants from all over the world and on a more macro level, becoming more tightly integrated with financial markets around the world. As a result, U.S. financial markets are also increasingly vulnerable to the risks that may affect non-U.S. financial markets. Any event or condition that affects the U.S. economy, whether originating from within or outside of the United States, may have an adverse effect on the Fund's investments in the United States and thus, the Fund's performance.

■ **Geopolitical Risk.** The United States has and may continue to experience security concerns, war, threats of war, aggression and/or conflict, terrorism, economic uncertainty, sanctions or the threat of sanctions, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness, widespread disease or other public health issues and/or systemic market dislocations that lead to increased short-term market volatility, have adverse long-term effects on the U.S. and world economies, and disrupt the orderly functioning of securities markets generally, which may negatively impact the Fund's investments.

■ **Index and Data Risk.** The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index may not perform as intended. The Index Provider has the right to make adjustments to the composition and/or operation of the Index or to cease making the Index available without regard to the particular interests of the Fund or its shareholders. If the computers or other facilities of the Index Provider, Index calculation agent, data providers and/or relevant stock exchange malfunction for any reason, calculation and dissemination of index values may be delayed and trading in Fund shares may be suspended for a period of time. Errors in index data, index calculations and/or the construction of the Index may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected by the Index Provider, Index calculation agent, or any other party for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Index as well as the Fund and its shareholders. The potential risk of a continuing error may be particularly heightened in the case of the Index, which is generally not used as a benchmark by other funds or managers.

■ **Information Technology Sector Risk.** The Fund currently invests a significant portion of its assets in the Information Technology Sector,
 and therefore, the Fund's performance could be negatively impacted by events affecting this sector. The Information Technology
 Sector includes, for example, companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of
 technology hardware and equipment such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals, electronic equipment
 and related instruments, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. This sector can be significantly affected by, among
 other things, the supply and demand for specific products and services, the pace of technological development, and government regulation.

■ **Investment in Investment Companies Risk.** Investing in other investment companies, including ETFs, money market funds, and other mutual funds, certain of which may be managed by the Adviser or an affiliate of the Adviser subjects the Fund to those risks affecting the other investment company, including the possibility that the value of the underlying securities held by the investment company could decrease or the portfolio becomes illiquid. Moreover, the Fund and its shareholders will incur its pro rata share of an underlying investment company's expenses, which will reduce the Fund's performance. In addition, investments in an ETF are subject to, among other risks, the risk that the shares may trade at a discount or premium relative to the NAV of the shares and the listing exchange may halt trading of the shares.

■ **Liquidity Risk.** The Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that may be less liquid than other types of investments. The derivatives in which the Fund invests may not always be liquid. This could have a negative effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to Fund shareholders.

WisdomTree Trust Prospectus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **5**<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

■ **Non-Correlation Risk.** As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and that of the Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs, while also managing cash flows and potential operational inefficiencies, not incurred by the Index. In addition, when markets are volatile, the ability to sell securities at fair market prices may be adversely affected and may result in additional trading costs and/or increase the non-correlation risk. The Fund's use of sampling techniques also may affect its ability to achieve close correlation with the Index.

■ **Non-Diversification Risk.** The Fund is considered to be non-diversified, which means that it may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. To the extent the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in a limited number of issuers, the Fund is subject to the risks of investing in those few issuers, and may be more susceptible to a single adverse economic or regulatory occurrence. As a result, changes in the market value of a single security could cause greater fluctuations in the value of Fund shares than would occur in a diversified fund.

■ **Portfolio Turnover Risk.** The Fund's investment strategy is expected to result in a high portfolio turnover rate. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher transaction costs and the distribution of additional capital gains, which may generate greater tax liabilities for shareholders who hold the shares in taxable accounts. Increased transaction costs and distributions of capital gains may negatively affect the Fund's performance.

**Fund Performance**

The Fund is new and therefore does not yet have performance history. Once the Fund has completed a full calendar year of operations, a bar chart and table will be included that will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's return based on net assets and comparing the Fund's performance to a broad measure of market performance. Updated performance information for the Fund will be available online on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

**Management**

**Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser**

WisdomTree Asset Management serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Mellon Investments Corporation ("Mellon" or the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the investment sub-adviser to the Fund.

**Portfolio Managers**

The Fund is managed by the Sub-Adviser's Equity Index Strategies portfolio management team. The individual members of the team jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio are identified below.

Marlene Walker-Smith, a Senior Director and Chief Investment Officer, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

David France, CFA, a Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager and Team Manager, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

Todd Frysinger, CFA, a Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager and Team Manager, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

Vlasta Sheremeta, CFA, a Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager and Team Manager, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

Michael Stoll, a Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager and Team Manager, has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception.

**Buying and Selling Fund Shares**

The Fund is an ETF. This means that individual shares of the Fund are listed for trading on a national securities exchange, currently NASDAQ (the "Listing Exchange"), and may only be purchased and sold in the secondary market through a broker-dealer at market prices. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). In addition, an investor may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares (ask) when buying and selling shares in the secondary market (the "bid/ask spread"). Recent information regarding the Fund, including its NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads, is available on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

The Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares ("Creation Units"), which only certain institutions or large investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. The Fund issues and redeems Creation Units in exchange for a portfolio of securities and/or U.S. cash.

**Tax Information**

The Fund intends to make distributions that may be taxed as ordinary income, qualified dividend income, or capital gains.

**Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank) (an "Intermediary"), WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates may pay Intermediaries for certain activities related to the Fund, including participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, or for other activities, such as marketing, educational training or other initiatives related to the sale or promotion of Fund shares. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Any such arrangements do not result in increased Fund expenses. Ask your salesperson or visit the Intermediary's website for more information.

**Additional Information About the Fund**

**Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Objective**

The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index was developed and is maintained by WisdomTree, which may give rise to potential conflicts of interest. For example, a potential conflict could arise between an affiliated person of WisdomTree Asset Management and the Fund if that entity attempted to use information regarding changes to, and the composition of, the Index to the detriment of the Fund. Additionally, potential conflicts could arise with respect to the personal trading activity of personnel of the affiliated person who may have access to, or knowledge of, pending changes to the Index's composition methodology or the constituent securities in the Index prior to the time that information is made publicly available. If shared, such knowledge could facilitate "front-running" (which describes an instance in which other persons trade ahead of the Fund). Although the Adviser and WisdomTree have taken steps designed to ensure that these potential conflicts are mitigated (e.g., via the adoption of policies and procedures that are designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest and the implementation of informational barriers designed to minimize the potential for the misuse of information about the Index), there can be no assurance that such measures will be successful.

The Fund's investment objective may be changed without a vote of shareholders upon 60 days' written notice to shareholders.

**Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Strategies**

If subsequent to an investment, the Fund's 80% investment policy is no longer met, the Fund's future investments will be made in a manner that will bring the Fund into compliance with its policy. The Fund will provide shareholders with sixty (60) days' prior written notice of any change to its 80% investment policy. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it 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 quantity of holdings in the Fund will be based on a number of factors, including asset size of the Fund. The Fund may sell securities that are represented in the Index, or purchase securities that are not yet represented in the Index, in anticipation of their removal from or addition to the Index or to reflect various corporate actions or other changes to the Index. Further, the Fund may overweight or underweight securities in the Index, purchase or sell securities not in the Index, or utilize various combinations of other available techniques, in seeking to track the Index.

*The Index*. The Index is a market capitalization weighted index. The Index is overseen by the Index Committee. The Index Committee considers both qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eligible companies when selecting the constituents of the Index. Furthermore, the Index Committee may exercise discretion in its implementation of the Index methodology from time to time.

From time to time, securities may be added to or removed from the Index and consequently, the attributes of the Index, such as the sectors, industries or countries represented in the Index and/or the weights of individual Index constituents, may change. Investors should also understand that the Index Provider may make changes to the Index with no advance notice to or input from the Adviser. In addition, between rebalances, the Index (and the Fund) may temporarily include constituents that no longer meet the Index's eligibility criteria.

**Non-Principal Information About the Fund's Investment Strategies**

In addition to the investments described in the "Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund" section of the Prospectus, the Fund may invest in other investments that the Adviser and/or the Sub-Adviser believe will help the Fund achieve its investment objective, including cash and cash equivalents and shares of other investment companies, including other WisdomTree Funds.

**Securities Lending.** The Fund participates in a securities lending program administered by a third-party securities lending agent, The Bank of New York, pursuant to which it may lend its portfolio securities in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions desiring to borrow those securities for a variety of reasons, including to facilitate the pursuit of certain investment strategies or to complete transactions to which the borrower may be committed. To protect the Fund, in part, from the risk of borrower default, the borrowing party provides collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value (plus accrued interest) of the borrowed securities. The collateral will be maintained and marked to market daily by the Fund's securities lending agent, who will request any shortfall from the borrower. The Fund has permitted the securities lending agent to invest any collateral received in short-term, highly liquid investments, such as U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, and government money market funds, including affiliated government money market funds. The terms of the securities lending program provide that the Fund will receive a portion of the income generated from the loan of its securities and the investment of the collateral received in connection with such loan. In exchange for its services, the securities lending agent also receives a portion of the revenue generated by the securities lending program. While the Fund's portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower has the right to exercise any voting rights associated with those securities and the right to receive dividends and other distributions on those securities. However, the Fund has the right to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matter of importance to it, and a borrower is obligated to repay to the Fund the amount of any dividends or distributions received on the loaned securities. Generally, the Fund would recall a loaned security to vote a proxy only if the Adviser believes the matter to be voted on could have a material effect on the Fund or its investment in the loaned securities.

**Additional Principal Risk Information About the Fund**

This section provides additional information regarding the principal risks described under "Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund" in the Fund Summary. Each of the factors below could have a negative impact on Fund performance and trading prices.

**Adaptive Strategy Risk**

In seeking to adapt to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market, the Index and, therefore, the Fund, allocates its assets to equity or fixed income securities. These allocations and the timing of the allocations may result in performance that is less favorable than that of a portfolio that does not make such allocations and may not anticipate market trends successfully. There can be no guarantee that the adaptive strategy will work as intended. The strategy may result in periods of underperformance, limit the Fund's ability to participate in rising markets, and increase transaction costs. If the Index has reduced its equity exposure to avoid losses in certain market conditions, and the market rises sharply and quickly, there may be a delay in increasing the Index's equity exposure, causing the Index, and therefore the Fund, possibly to forgo gains from the market rebound. The strategy may fail to protect against market declines.

**Cash Redemption Risk**

When the Fund redeems shares for cash or otherwise includes cash as part of its redemption proceeds, it may be required to sell or unwind its portfolio investments to obtain the cash needed to pay out redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize capital gains that it might not have recognized if it had made an in-kind redemption (*i.e.*, distribute securities as payment of redemption proceeds). The Fund generally redeems shares for cash or otherwise includes cash as part of its redemption proceeds. As a result, the Fund may pay out higher annual capital gains distributions than if it redeemed shares in kind. Additionally, the Fund's sale of non-U.S. denominated securities to satisfy a redemption request may generate realized foreign exchange losses that could impact the income distributions paid by the Fund.

**Counterparty and Issuer Credit Risk**

To the extent that the Fund engages in investment transactions or enters into derivative or other contracts with third parties (*i.e.*, "counterparties") then the Fund bears the risk that the counterparty to such contracts may default on its obligations or otherwise fail to honor its obligations or be perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services, or otherwise) as being in such situations. If a counterparty defaults on its payment obligations, the Fund will lose money and the value of an investment in Fund shares may decrease. In addition, the Fund may engage in such investment transactions with a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund's exposure to counterparty credit risk. Listed futures contracts can be traded on futures exchanges without material counterparty credit. After a trade is cleared, the exchange is the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, so the counterparty risk on a listed futures contract ultimately is the creditworthiness of the exchange's clearing corporation.

The financial condition of an issuer of a debt security or other issuer may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security. The Fund cannot collect interest and principal payments on a security if the issuer defaults. Recent events in the financials sector have resulted in increased concerns about credit risk and exposure. Well-known financial institutions have experienced significant liquidity and other problems and have defaulted on their debt. The degree of credit risk for a particular debt security or other issuer may be reflected in its credit rating. A credit rating is a measure of a bond issuer's ability to make timely payments of interest and principal. Rating agencies (such as S&P and Fitch) assign letter designations typically ranging from AAA to A- (lower default risk) through CCC to C (higher default risk) or D (in default). A credit rating of BBB- or higher generally is considered "investment grade." Credit ratings are subjective, do not remove market risk, and represent the opinions of the rating agencies as to the quality of the securities they rate. Credit ratings can change quickly and may not accurately reflect the risk of an issuer. Generally, investment risk and price volatility increase as the credit rating of a security declines. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. The value of an investment in the Fund may change quickly and without warning in response to issuer defaults, changes in the credit ratings of the Fund's portfolio investments and/or perceptions related thereto.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Cybersecurity Risk**

The Fund and its service providers may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cybersecurity, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cybersecurity, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund's operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data maintained online or digitally, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund's third-party service providers, including the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, administrator, custodian, and transfer agent, may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cybersecurity breaches and adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber-attacks may impact the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause the Fund to incur additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Fund. Cybersecurity breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests also could have material adverse consequences on the Fund's business operations and cause financial losses for the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund and its service providers have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to address cybersecurity risks, prevent cyber-attacks, and mitigate the impact of cybersecurity breaches, there are inherent limitations on such plans and systems. In addition, the Fund has no control over the cybersecurity protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders.

**Derivatives Risk**

The Fund may invest in derivatives, such as futures contracts, to pursue its investment objective. The use of such derivatives may expose the Fund to risks in addition to and greater than those associated with investing directly in the instruments underlying those derivatives, including risks relating to leverage, correlation (imperfect correlations with underlying instruments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings), volatility, lack of availability, counterparty credit, liquidity, and valuation. The use of such derivatives also may expose the Fund to the performance of investments that they do not own. To the extent the Fund engages in derivatives in an attempt to hedge certain exposures or risks, there can be no assurance that such hedging investments or transactions will be effective. In addition, hedging investments or transactions involve costs and may reduce gains or result in losses, which may adversely affect the Fund. The skills necessary to successfully execute derivatives strategies may be different from those for more traditional portfolio management techniques, and if the Adviser or Sub-Adviser is incorrect about its expectations of market conditions, the use of derivatives also could result in a loss, which in some cases may be unlimited.

Funds that invest in derivatives are also subject to the risk that a change in U.S. law and related regulations will impact the way they operate, increase the particular costs of their operation and/or change the competitive landscape. In October 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), which governs a fund's use of derivatives. Among other things, the rule generally requires a fund to adopt a derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager to oversee the program, and comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value at risk, or "VaR." The rule significantly changes the regulatory framework applicable to a fund's use of derivatives, including by replacing the existing asset segregation regulatory framework in its entirety.

**Futures Contracts**

A futures contract may generally be described as an agreement for the future sale by one party and the purchase by another of a specified security or instrument at a specified price and time. Futures contracts have standardized terms and trade on an exchange, where prices are settled on a daily basis until the end of the contract. The risks of futures contracts include, but are not limited to: (1) the success of the Adviser's and Sub-Adviser's ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets, and movements in interest rates; (2) an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities and the prices of futures contracts; and (3) no guarantee that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Geographic Investment Risk**

The Fund expects to invest most of its assets in the securities of U.S. companies and is therefore, more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting the United States.

**Investments in the United States**

The economic, political, regulatory, and other events and conditions that affect issuers and investments in the United States differ significantly from those associated with other countries and regions. For example, routine political events, such as a presidential election, can have a significant effect on the U.S. markets and lead to periods of increased volatility. U.S. financial markets also have become increasingly globalized, hosting participants from all over the world and on a more macro level, becoming more integrated with financial markets around the world. As a result, U.S. financial markets are also increasingly vulnerable to the risks that may affect non-U.S. financial markets. The Fund's investments in the United States are particularly subject to the risk that they, and the U.S. economy more generally, will be adversely affected by a decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation, and/or an economic recession in the United States. Relatedly, the extensive economic sanctions levied against Russia by a multilateral coalition, including the United States, in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect specific U.S. companies and sectors that previously engaged with Russia, such as certain financial institutions with exposure to Russia and companies dependent on raw materials previously sourced from Russia. There also remains a concern that reduced energy supplies from Russia could lead to higher gas prices and exacerbate inflation in the United States. In addition, proposed and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States have changed and may continue to change many aspects of financial, public health, environmental, and other regulation. Certain of these changes may have a significant effect, either positive or negative, on U.S. markets and issuers, including issuers in which the Fund may invest. The Fund's investments in the United States also may be adversely affected by any one of several geopolitical risks to which the United States is subject, including its precarious strategic competitive relationship with China, increasing environmental and climate risk, and the ever-increasing threat of damaging cyberattacks. The United States has also experienced elevated debt levels and increased internal political discord, as well as significant challenges in managing and containing the outbreak of COVID-19. If these trends were to continue or any of the other risks were to manifest, whether due to conditions or an event originating from within or outside of the United States, it may have an adverse effect on the Fund's investments in the United States and thus, the Fund's performance.

**Geopolitical Risk**

The United States has and may continue to experience security concerns, war, threats of war, aggression and/or conflict, terrorism, economic uncertainty, sanctions or the threat of sanctions, natural and environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness, widespread disease or other public health issues, and/or systemic market dislocations (including due to events outside of the United States) that have led, and in the future may lead, to increased short-term market volatility and have adverse long-term effects on the U.S. and world economies and markets generally. Such geopolitical events also may disrupt the orderly functioning of the securities markets globally. Each of the foregoing may negatively impact the Fund's investments.

**Index and Data Risk**

The Fund, which employs a "passive management" - or indexing - investment approach, seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Index. The Index Provider has developed an index methodology that describes both the objective of the Index and the rules pursuant to which the Index is constructed and maintained to seek to achieve its objective. The Index, however, may not achieve its objective or perform as intended for a variety of reasons, even when constructed and maintained consistently with its rules-based index methodology. As a result, none of the Index Provider, its affiliates or agents, or any contributor of data considered in determining the composition or price of the Index, including the independent index calculation agent, provide any warranty or accept any liability with regard to the quality, accuracy or completeness of the Index, its calculation, its valuation, or any related data, nor does any such entity guarantee that the Index will achieve its objective. The Index Provider is not obligated to consider the Fund's interests or those of its shareholders when administering the Index. In addition, the Index Provider may make adjustments to the Index or cease making the Index available without regard to the particular interests of the Fund or its shareholders. Any such decision by the Index Provider may be disruptive to the management of the Fund and adversely affect its performance. The structure and composition of the Index will affect the performance, volatility, and risk of the Index, but also the Fund. Errors in index data, index computations, or the construction or adjustment of the Index in accordance with its index methodology may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected by the Index Provider, index calculation agent, or other appropriate party for a period of time or at all, which may have an adverse impact on the Fund and its shareholders. The Index may be particularly vulnerable to the risk of an ongoing or sustained error because it generally is not used as a benchmark by other funds or managers. An index error may result in the inclusion or exclusion of constituent securities in the Index or the weighting of constituent securities in the Index that would have been different had data or other information been correct or complete, which may lead to a different investment outcome than would have been the case had such error not occurred. Index errors, as well as the length of time between the Index's and the Fund's regular rebalance and/or reconstitution events, may result in the Fund holding for a period of time, securities or other investments that have become inconsistent with its investment strategies and/or investment criteria. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser seek to manage the Fund to track the performance of the Index even in circumstances where it may be determined that the Index composition was not accurate. Consequently, losses or costs associated with the Index error and other related risks may be borne by the Fund and its shareholders, and neither the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, nor their affiliates or agents make any representations or warranties regarding the performance or administration of the Index. The management of the Fund is dependent on the operation of the Index. If the computers or other facilities of the Index Provider, index calculation agent, index data providers, if any, and/or other index-related service provider malfunction for any reason, calculation and dissemination of Index values and any scheduled adjustments to the composition of the Index may be delayed. Depending on the duration of the delay, such event may necessitate suspending trading in the Fund's shares until normal operation of the Index resumes.

WisdomTree Trust Prospectus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **11**<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Investment Risk**

As with all investments, an investment in the Fund is subject to loss. Investors in the Fund could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

**Investment in Investment Companies Risk**

The Fund may purchase shares of investment companies, such as ETFs and money market funds, including affiliated WisdomTree Funds, to gain exposure to a particular portion of the market while awaiting an opportunity to purchase securities directly or when such investments present a more cost-efficient alternative to investing directly in securities. When the Fund invests in another investment company, in addition to directly bearing the expenses associated with its own operations, it will bear a pro rata portion of the other investment company's expenses. Further, in part because of these additional expenses, the performance of an investment company may differ from the performance the Fund would achieve if it invested directly in the underlying investments of the investment company. While the risks of owning shares of an investment company generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying investments of the investment company, the Fund may be subject to additional or different risks than if the Fund had invested directly in the underlying investments. For example, shares of an ETF are traded at market prices, which may vary from the NAV of its underlying investments. Also, the lack of liquidity in an ETF can contribute to the increased volatility of its value in comparison to the value of the underlying portfolio securities. The trading in shares of a listed fund, such as an ETF, also may be halted unexpectedly and for varying periods.

**Liquidity Risk**

The Fund may invest in derivatives and other instruments that may be less liquid than other types of investments. Investments that are less liquid or that trade less can be more difficult or more costly to buy, or to sell readily at a favorable time or price, compared to other more liquid or active investments. This liquidity risk is a factor of the trading volume of a particular investment, as well as the size and liquidity of the market for such an investment. The derivatives in which the Fund invests may not always be liquid. This could have a negative effect on the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to Fund shareholders.

**Market Capitalization Risk**

**Large-Capitalization Investing**

The securities of large-capitalization companies may underperform securities of smaller companies or the market as a whole. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and, therefore, subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

**12**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WisdomTree Trust Prospectus<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Market Risk**

The trading prices of securities, including shares of the Fund, and other instruments may fluctuate, at times significantly, in response to a variety of factors. These factors include events impacting the entire market or specific market segments, such as political, market, and economic developments, including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates, government regulation, and the outlook for economic growth or recession, as well as events that impact specific issuers, such as changes to an issuer's actual or perceived creditworthiness. As a result of these and other factors, investors could lose money on their investment in the Fund.

**Recent Events**

The value of the Fund's investments may be adversely affected by recent and current events occurring outside of the United States, including those affecting foreign markets (including extreme volatility, depressed valuations, and decreased liquidity), significant geopolitical events (including armed conflicts, terror attacks, and disruptions to foreign economic and trade relationships), and public health emergencies (including pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic), among other events. For example, ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe and among Israel, Hamas, and other militant groups in the Middle East, and related sanctions and trading restrictions have caused significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets in Russia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. Similarly, changes in U.S. policy may also introduce heightened risks, including economic policy and market risks, such as with the imposition of tariffs and other trade-related initiatives that could disrupt the market globally. Trade disputes and retaliatory actions, such as embargoes and other trade limitations, may reduce the profitability of companies in which the Fund invests, lead to a significant reduction in international trade, and adversely affect the growth of the global economy. The extent and duration of these and similar conflicts, policy initiatives, and tensions are impossible to predict, and they could result in significant market disruptions, including with respect to certain industries or sectors, such as the oil and the natural gas markets, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation, and global growth. These conflicts, policy initiatives, and tensions could adversely affect the value of certain Fund investments, as well as the Fund's performance and liquidity, even if the Fund does not have direct investment exposure to a country involved in a particular conflict or industry directly affected by trade restrictions.

**Non-Correlation Risk**

As with all index funds, the performance of the Fund and the Index may vary somewhat for a variety of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs, while also managing cash flows and potential operational inefficiencies, not incurred by the Index. In addition, the Fund may not be fully invested in the securities of the Index at all times or may hold securities not included in the Index or may be subject to pricing differences, differences in the timing of dividend accruals, tax gains or losses, currency convertibility and repatriation, operational inefficiencies, and the need to meet various new or existing regulatory requirements. For example, it may take several business days for additions and deletions to the Index to be reflected in the portfolio composition of the Fund. The use of sampling techniques may affect the Fund's ability to achieve close correlation with the Index. By using a representative sampling strategy, the Fund generally can be expected to have a greater non-correlation risk and this risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions. In addition, when markets are volatile, the ability to sell securities at fair value prices may be adversely impacted and may result in additional trading costs and/or increase the Index tracking risk.

**Non-Diversification Risk**

The Fund is considered to be non-diversified. This means that the Fund may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Fund's volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund's performance. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the asset diversification requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for qualification as a regulated investment companies ("RIC"). See the "Taxes – Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company" section of the Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI") for detail regarding the asset diversification requirements.

**Portfolio Turnover Risk**

The Fund's investment strategy is expected to result in a high portfolio turnover rate. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Fund paying higher levels of transaction costs and the distribution of additional capital gains, which generate greater tax liabilities for shareholders. These factors may negatively affect the Fund's performance.

WisdomTree Trust Prospectus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **13**<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

**Sector Risks**

**Information Technology Sector Risk**

The Information Technology Sector includes, for example, companies that offer software and information technology services, manufacturers and distributors of technology hardware and equipment such as communications equipment, cellular phones, computers and peripherals, electronic equipment and related instruments, and semiconductors and related equipment and materials. This sector can be significantly affected by, among other things, the supply and demand for specific products and services, the pace of technological development, and government regulation. Challenges facing companies in the Information Technology Sector include distressed cash flows due to the need to commit substantial capital to meet increasing competition, particularly in formulating new products and services using new technology, technological innovations that make existing products and services obsolete, and satisfying consumer demand.

**Shares of the Fund May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV**

As with all ETFs, Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of the shares of the Fund will not materially differ from the Fund's NAV, there may be times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly, including due to timing reasons, perceptions about the NAV, supply and demand of the Fund's shares (including disruptions in the creation/redemption process), during periods of market volatility and/or other factors. This may result in premiums and discounts that are greater than those experienced by domestic ETFs. Thus, you may pay more (or less) than NAV when you buy shares of the Fund in the secondary market, and you may receive more (or less) than NAV when you sell those shares in the secondary market. If an investor purchases Fund shares at a time when the market price is at a premium to the NAV of the Fund's shares or sells at a time when the market price is at a discount to the NAV of the Fund's shares, an investor may sustain losses. Additionally, in stressed market conditions, the market for the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's underlying portfolio holdings.

**U.S. Government Securities Risk**

U.S. government securities may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are subject to the risks associated with fixed income and debt securities, particularly interest rate risk and credit risk. The U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities do not guarantee the market value of their securities, which may fluctuate in value and are subject to investment risks, and certain U.S. government securities not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government are subject to greater credit risk than other types of U.S. government securities. The value of U.S. government obligations may be adversely affected by changes in interest rates. There is no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to its agencies and instrumentalities if not required to do so by law. Securities issued by the U.S. government historically have been considered to present minimal credit risk. The downgrade in the long-term U.S. credit rating by at least two major rating agencies has introduced greater uncertainty about the ability of the U.S. government to repay its obligations. Further credit rating downgrades or a U.S. credit default could decrease the value and increase the volatility of the Fund's investments.

**Additional Non-Principal Risk Information**

**Trading.** Although the Fund's shares are listed for trading on the Listing Exchange and may be listed or traded on U.S. and non-U.S. stock exchanges other than the Listing Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for such shares will develop or be maintained. The trading market in the Fund's shares may become less liquid in response to deteriorating liquidity in the markets for the Fund's holdings or due to irregular trading activity in the markets. Trading in shares may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Listing Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the Listing Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to Listing Exchange "circuit breaker" rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Listing Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged or that Fund shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange.

**Costs of Buying or Selling Shares.** Investors buying or selling the Fund's shares in the secondary market will pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers, as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of the Fund's shares. In addition, secondary market investors also will incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to buy shares (the "bid" price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares (the "ask" price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the "spread" or "bid/ask spread." The bid/ask spread for the Fund's shares varies over time based on the trading volume and market liquidity of the Fund's shares and in some cases, the trading volume and market liquidity of the Fund's holdings. Increased trading volume and market liquidity generally have the effect of reducing a fund's bid/ask spread. Further, a relatively small investor base, asset swings, and/or increased market volatility may increase a fund's bid/ask spread. Shares of the Fund, similar to shares of other issuers listed on a securities exchange, may be sold short and are, therefore, subject to the risk of increased volatility associated with short selling. Due to the costs of buying or selling the Fund's shares, including bid/ask spreads, frequent trading of the Fund's shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly trading small investments.

**Securities Lending.** Securities lending subjects the Fund to the risk that the borrower of its securities may fail to return the loaned securities or deliver the proper amount of collateral, which may result in a loss to the Fund. In addition, in the event of the bankruptcy of or other default by the borrower, the Fund could experience losses or delays in recovering the loaned securities or foreclosing on collateral. In some cases, these risks may be mitigated by the indemnification provided by the Fund's securities lending agent. It also is possible that the Fund's securities lending agent could experience financial difficulties or bankruptcy. Should such circumstances arise, the Fund may not receive the fees it has earned and is owed under the securities lending program, and may have difficulty and confront delays in retrieving its loaned securities and/or collateral. In addition, although the Fund receives and invests cash collateral in a conservative manner, it is possible that it could lose money from such an investment or fail to earn sufficient income from its investment to cover the fee or rebate that it has agreed to pay the borrower. The Fund's investment of cash collateral is subject to market appreciation or depreciation and the Fund will bear any loss on the investment of its cash collateral.

**Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk.** The Fund may have a limited number of financial institutions that may serve as Authorized Participants. Only Authorized Participants who have entered into agreements with the Distributor (as defined below) may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. The Fund's shares may trade at a prolonged and material premium or discount to NAV (or not trade at all) and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting if either of the following events occur: (i) Authorized Participants exit the business, experience a significant business disruption (including through the types of disruptions described under "Cybersecurity Risk" and "Operational Risk"), or otherwise become unable or unwilling to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other Authorized Participants step forward to perform these services, or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business, experience a significant business disruption (including through the types of disruptions described under "Cybersecurity Risk" and "Operational Risk"), or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to make and support markets in the Fund's shares or otherwise facilitate liquidity in the markets.

This risk may be heightened to the extent that the Fund invests in derivatives or securities that trade on foreign exchanges or in markets that require foreign securities settlement and/or because Authorized Participants may be required to post collateral in relation to securities settlement, which only certain Authorized Participants may be able to do or are interested in doing.

**Operational Risk.** The Fund and its service providers, including the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, administrator, custodian, and transfer agent, may experience disruptions that arise from human error, processing and communications errors, counterparty or third-party errors, and technology or systems failures, any of which may have an adverse effect on the management or operations of the Fund, including its ability to create and redeem shares. Although the Fund and its service providers seek to mitigate these operational risks through their internal controls and operational risk management processes, these measures may not identify or may be inadequate to address all such risks.

**Portfolio Holdings Information**

Information about the Fund's daily portfolio holdings, including their identities and quantities, is available at www.wisdomtree.com/investments. The Fund also discloses its complete portfolio holdings as of the end of its fiscal year (June 30) and its second fiscal quarter (December 31) in its reports to shareholders.

**Additional Information on Buying and Selling Fund Shares**

Most investors will buy and sell shares of the Fund in secondary market transactions through broker-dealers at market prices, which may be greater than (premium) or less than (discount) the NAV of the Fund's shares. Shares of the Fund trade on the Listing Exchange and elsewhere during the trading day and can be bought and sold throughout the trading day like other shares of publicly traded securities. When buying or selling shares through a broker, most investors will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered prices in the secondary market for shares. Shares of the Fund trade under the trading symbol listed on the cover of this Prospectus. Recent information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads is available on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

**Share Trading Prices**

Transactions in Fund shares will be priced at NAV only if you are an institutional investor (*e.g.*, broker-dealer) that has signed an agreement with the Distributor (as defined below) and you thereafter purchase or redeem shares directly from the Fund in Creation Units. As with other types of securities, the trading prices of shares in the secondary market can be affected by market forces such as supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors. The price you pay or receive when you buy or sell your shares in the secondary market may be more or less than the NAV of such shares.

**Determination of Net Asset Value**

The NAV of the Fund's shares is calculated each day the Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the Listing Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the "NAV Calculation Time"). NAV per share is calculated by dividing the Fund's net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Fund's assets are comprised of its portfolio securities and other investments and assets, including cash and net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains that have previously been earned but not yet distributed. As a result, when a shareholder purchases shares of the Fund, part of the NAV is often comprised of such income and gains prior to the purchase, which are included in the purchase price paid by the shareholder. Further, any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in the Fund's NAV.

In calculating the Fund's NAV, the Fund generally values: (i) equity securities (including common stocks and preferred stock) traded on any recognized U.S. exchange at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded; (ii) unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price; (iii) fixed income securities at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers; (iv) money market funds at their NAV per share; and (v) derivatives investments at fair value using a variety of information (*e.g.*, futures contracts are generally fair valued based on the last sale price). In addition, the Fund may invest in affiliated ETFs which are valued at their last sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or at their NAV per share in instances where the affiliated ETF has not traded on its principal exchange.

Futures contracts are valued on the basis of the last sale price as of 4:00 p.m. on the valuation date. In the event that the exchange for a specific futures contract closes earlier than the NAV Calculation Time, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the exchange. However, the underlying securities from which the futures contract value is derived are monitored until the NAV Calculation Time to determine if fair valuation would provide a more accurate valuation.

Pursuant to Board-approved valuation procedures established by the Trust and the Adviser, the Board has appointed the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to perform all fair valuations of the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Fund's portfolio investments. These procedures address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and the methodologies to be used for determining the fair value of investments, as well as the use and oversight of third-party pricing services for fair valuation.

Fair value pricing is used by the Valuation Designee when reliable market quotations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values and when the instrument to be priced is not a security. Fund holdings that may be valued using fair value pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations or whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by "significant events." An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before the Fund's next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of the Fund's investment (*e.g.*, government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation).

**18**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; WisdomTree Trust Prospectus<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

When fair value pricing is employed by the Valuation Designee, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

**Dividends and Distributions**

The Fund intends to pay dividends, if any, quarterly, but in any event no less than annually. Nonetheless, the Fund may not make a dividend payment quarterly.

The Fund intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, to investors annually. On occasion, the Fund may be required or determine to make one or more supplemental distributions of its net realized capital gains during the year. Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole shares of the Fund only if the broker through whom you purchased shares makes such option available. Your broker is responsible for distributing any income and capital gains distributions to you.

**Book Entry**

Shares of the Fund are held in book-entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding shares of the Fund.

Investors owning shares of the Fund are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for all shares of the Fund. Participants include DTC, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. As a beneficial owner of shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a registered owner of shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any securities that you hold in book-entry or "street name" form. Your broker will provide you with account statements, confirmations of your purchases and sales, and tax information.

**Delivery of Shareholder Documents – Householding**

Householding is an option available to certain investors of the Fund. Householding is a method of delivery, based on the preference of the individual investor, in which a single copy of certain shareholder documents can be delivered to investors who share the same address, even if their accounts are registered under different names. Householding for the Fund is available through certain broker-dealers. If you are interested in enrolling in householding and receiving a single copy of prospectuses and other shareholder documents, please contact your broker-dealer. If you are currently enrolled in householding and wish to change your householding status, please contact your broker-dealer.

**Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares**

The Fund has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of Creation Units of Fund shares. Only Authorized Participants are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Fund, and their purchase and redemption transactions are essential to the operation of the Fund. In addition to helping to ensure there is an adequate supply of Fund shares to meet secondary market trading demand, Authorized Participants' purchase and redemption transactions also generally help to keep the trading prices of the Fund shares in line with their NAV per share. The Fund may engage in in-kind transactions with Authorized Participants. In-kind purchase and redemption transactions generally do not give rise to the adverse consequences commonly associated with frequent purchases and redemptions of fund shares because they do not require a fund to sell portfolio holdings to raise cash to meet redemptions, which may increase portfolio transaction costs and potentially result in adverse tax consequences, such as the realization of capital gains, or to hold a significant amount of cash to meet redemptions or while awaiting investment opportunities to invest share purchase proceeds, which can lead to increased tracking error or reduced returns. Accordingly, it is the policy of the Fund to accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares by Authorized Participants. To mitigate any adverse consequences of frequent purchases and redemptions, particularly if the Fund transacts with Authorized Participants on a cash-basis, the Fund employs fair value pricing and imposes transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Creation Units to cover the costs incurred by the Fund in executing such trades. In addition, the Fund reserves the right to impose restrictions on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading as well as to reject any purchase order at any time.

**Investments by Investment Companies**

Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other registered investment companies, including shares of the Fund. Registered investment companies are permitted to invest in the Fund beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, including that such investment companies enter into an agreement with the Fund. However, the Fund may not be permitted to accept such an investment by another investment company if the Fund is currently invested in the securities of other investment companies beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1)(A). Any investment company interested in purchasing shares of the Fund in amounts that would cause it to exceed the restrictions of Section 12(d)(1) should first contact the Trust to determine if the Fund may accept such investment.

**Additional Tax Information**

The following discussion is a summary of certain important U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investments in the Fund. Your investment in the Fund may have other tax implications. Please consult your tax advisor about the tax consequences of an investment in Fund shares, including the possible application of foreign, state, and local tax laws.

The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year for treatment as a RIC. If it meets certain minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is not subject to tax at the Fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, the Fund's failure to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in Fund-level taxation and consequently a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.

Unless you are a tax-exempt entity or your investment in Fund shares is made through a tax-deferred retirement account, such as an individual retirement account, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when:

■ The Fund makes distributions;

■ You sell Fund shares; and

■ You purchase or redeem Creation Units (Authorized Participants only).

**Taxes on Distributions**

For federal income tax purposes, distributions of investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividend income. Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long the Fund owned the assets that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned Fund shares. Sales of assets held by the Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by the Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses. Distributions of the Fund's net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends ("Capital Gain Dividends") will be taxable as long-term capital gains. For non-corporate shareholders, long-term capital gains are generally subject to tax at reduced rates. Distributions of short-term capital gains will generally be taxable as ordinary income. Distributions reported by the Fund as "qualified dividend income" are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met. "Qualified dividend income" generally is income derived from dividends paid by U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. In addition, dividends that the Fund received in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations may be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. However, to the extent the Fund lends its securities and receives substitute dividend payments, such payments are not expected to generate qualified dividend income when distributed to shareholders. Certain of the trading strategies of the Fund may limit its ability to make distributions eligible for the reduced tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income.

A RIC that receives business interest income may pass through its net business interest income for purposes of the tax rules applicable to the interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Code. A RIC's total "Section 163(j) Interest Dividend" for a tax year is limited to the excess of the RIC's business interest income over the sum of its business interest expense and its other deductions properly allocable to its business interest income. A RIC may, in its discretion, designate all or a portion of ordinary dividends as Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, which would allow the recipient shareholder to treat the designated portion of such dividends as interest income for purposes of determining such shareholder's interest expense deduction limitation under Section 163(j). This can potentially increase the amount of a shareholder's interest expense deductible under Section 163(j). In general, to be eligible to treat a Section 163(j) Interest Dividend as interest income, you must have held your shares in the Fund for more than 180 days during the 361-day period beginning on the date that is 180 days before the date on which the share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, if so designated by the Fund, will be reported to your financial intermediary or otherwise in accordance with the requirements specified by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax for the year in which they are paid. Certain distributions paid in January, but declared by the Fund in October, November or December of the previous year, may be treated as paid on December 31 of the prior year. Distributions are generally taxable even if they are paid from income or gains earned by the Fund before your investment (and thus were included in the price you paid for your shares).

WisdomTree Trust Prospectus&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **21**<br>

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Dividends and distributions from the Fund and capital gains on the sale of Fund shares are generally taken into account in determining a shareholder's "net investment income" for purposes of the 3.8% tax on net investment income applicable to certain individuals, estates and trusts.

Distributions (other than Capital Gain Dividends) paid to shareholders that are neither citizens nor residents of the U.S. or to foreign entities will generally be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless a lower treaty rate applies, but Capital Gain Dividends generally are not subject to U.S. taxation, unless you are a nonresident alien individual who is physically present in the United States for 183 days or more per year. The Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an "interest related dividend" or a "short term capital gain dividend," which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Different tax consequences may result if you are a non-U.S. shareholder engaged in a trade or business within the United States.

You should note that if you purchase shares just before a distribution, the purchase price would reflect the amount of the upcoming distribution. In this case, you would be taxed on the entire amount of the distribution received, even though, as an economic matter, the distribution simply constitutes a return of your investment. This is known as "buying a dividend" and generally should be avoided by taxable investors.

The Fund (or financial intermediaries, such as brokers, through which shareholders own Fund shares) generally is required to withhold and to remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of the taxable distributions and the sale or redemption proceeds paid to any shareholder who fails to properly furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, who has under-reported dividend or interest income, or who fails to certify that he, she or it is not subject to such withholding.

**Taxes When You Sell Fund Shares**

Assuming you hold Fund shares as capital assets, any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Fund shares is generally treated as a long-term gain or loss if you held the shares you sold for more than one year. Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Fund shares held for one year or less is generally treated as a short-term gain or loss, except that any capital loss on a sale of shares held for six months or less is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of Capital Gain Dividends paid with respect to such shares. The ability to deduct capital losses may be limited depending on your circumstances.

**Taxes on Creation and Redemption of Creation Units**

An Authorized Participant having the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes that exchanges securities for Creation Units generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the market value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and any amount of cash received by the Authorized Participant in the exchange and (ii) the sum of the exchanger's aggregate basis in the securities surrendered and any amount of cash paid for such Creation Units. A person who redeems Creation Units will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger's basis in the Creation Units and the sum of the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of the securities plus the amount of any cash received for such Creation Units. The IRS, however, may assert that a loss that is realized upon an exchange of securities for Creation Units may not be permitted to be currently deducted under the rules governing "wash sales" (for a person who does not mark-to-market their holdings), or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position.

Gain or loss recognized by an Authorized Participant upon an issuance of Creation Units in exchange for non-U.S. currency will generally be treated as ordinary income or loss. Gain or loss recognized by an Authorized Participant upon an issuance of Creation Units in exchange for securities, or upon a redemption of Creation Units, may be capital or ordinary gain or loss depending on the circumstances. Any capital gain or loss realized upon an issuance of Creation Units in exchange for securities will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the securities have been held for more than one year. Any capital gain or loss realized upon the redemption of a Creation Unit will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Fund shares comprising the Creation Unit have been held for more than one year. Otherwise, such capital gains or losses are treated as short-term capital gains or losses.

The Fund may include cash when paying the redemption price for Creation Units in addition to, or in place of, the delivery of a basket of securities. The Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause the Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind. As a result, the Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in-kind redemption process was used.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc)

Persons exchanging securities or non-U.S. currency for Creation Units should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of any creation or redemption transaction and whether the wash sales rules apply and when a loss might be deductible. If you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement showing how many Fund shares you purchased or redeemed and at what price.

More information about taxes related to the Fund and its investments is included in the SAI.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the consequences under current U.S. federal income tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Fund under all applicable tax laws.

**Distribution**

Foreside Fund Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group (d/b/a ACA Group) (the "Distributor"), serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund. The Distributor's principal address is 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, Maine 04101.

**GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND THE FUND**

The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 15, 2005, and is authorized to issue multiple series or portfolios. The Trust is an open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The offering of the Trust's shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. Adaptive Moving Average Index (the "Index"). The Index was created using a proprietary methodology developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree").

WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. ("WisdomTree Asset Management" or the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Fund. WisdomTree is the Index Provider and parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management. Mellon Investments Corporation ("Mellon" or the "Sub-Adviser") is the investment sub-adviser to the Fund. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser may be referred to together as the "Advisers." Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the distributor (the "Distributor") of the shares of the Fund.

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund ("ETF"). The Fund issues and redeems shares at net asset value per share ("NAV") only in large blocks of shares ("Creation Unit Aggregations"). These transactions are usually in exchange for a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. As a practical matter, only institutions or large investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) purchase or redeem Creation Unit Aggregations. Except when aggregated in Creation Unit Aggregations, shares of the Fund are not redeemable securities.

Shares of the Fund are listed on a national securities exchange, the NASDAQ (the "Listing Exchange"), and trade throughout the day on the Listing Exchange and other secondary markets at market prices that may be greater than (premium) or less than (discount) their NAV. As is the case of other publicly traded securities, brokers' commissions on transactions will be based on commission rates charged by the applicable broker.

The Trust reserves the right to adjust the prices of shares in the future to maintain convenient trading ranges for investors. Any adjustments would be accomplished through stock splits or reverse stock splits, which would have no effect on the net assets of the Fund.

"WisdomTree" is a registered mark of WisdomTree and has been licensed for use by the Trust.

**GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT STRATEGIES AND RISKS** 

The Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies, and associated risks are described in the Fund's Prospectus. The sections below supplement the Fund's principal investment strategies and risks and describe the Fund's additional investment policies, and the different types of investments that may be made by the Fund as a part of its non-principal investment strategies. With respect to the Fund's investments, unless otherwise noted, if a percentage limitation on investment is adhered to at the time of investment or contract, a subsequent increase or decrease as a result of market movement or redemption will not result in a violation of such investment limitation.

An investment in the Fund should be made with an understanding that the value of the Fund's portfolio securities may fluctuate (including significant decreases) in accordance with changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular security or issuer, changes in general economic or political conditions, local, regional or global events such as war, threats of war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions, natural and environmental disasters, systemic market dislocations, supply disruptions, or other events. Such events may disparately impact a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector, or asset class. In addition, the Fund may not outperform other investment strategies over short- or long-term market cycles and the Fund may decline in value. Fund shares may trade above or below their NAV. An investor in the Fund could lose money over short or long periods of time. The price of the securities and other investments held by the Fund, and thus the value of the Fund's portfolio, is expected to fluctuate in accordance with general economic conditions, interest rates, political events, and other factors. For more information about these and other risks, please see "Specific Investment Strategies and Risks" below and the Fund's Prospectus.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund intends to qualify each year for treatment as a regulated investment company (a "RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), so that it will not be subject to federal income tax on income and gains that are timely distributed to Fund shareholders. The Fund will invest its assets, and otherwise conduct its operations, in a manner that is intended to satisfy the qualifying income, diversification, and distribution requirements necessary to establish and maintain eligibility for such treatment.

The Fund is considered "non-diversified," as such term is used in the 1940 Act. The Fund may become diversified for periods of time solely as a result of tracking the Index (*e.g.*, changes in weightings of one or more constituent securities).

The Fund may be included in model portfolios developed by WisdomTree Asset Management for use by financial advisors and/or investors. The market price of shares of the Fund, costs of purchasing or selling shares of the Fund, including the bid/ask spread, and liquidity of the Fund may be impacted by purchases and sales of the Fund by one or more model-driven investment portfolios.

The Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") may, in the future, authorize the Fund to invest in securities and investments other than those listed in this SAI and in the Fund's Prospectus, provided they are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and do not violate any investment restrictions or policies.

**SPECIFIC INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS**

A description of certain investment strategies and types of investments used by the Fund, and various related risks, is set forth below. A discussion of the principal strategies and risks associated with an investment in the Fund is contained in the Fund's Prospectus.

**BORROWING.** Although the Fund does not intend to borrow money as part of its principal investment strategies, the Fund may do so to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the Fund may borrow up to 33% of its net assets, but under normal market conditions, the Fund does not expect to borrow greater than 10% of its net assets. The Fund will borrow only for short-term or emergency purposes. Borrowing will tend to exaggerate the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of the Fund's portfolio. Money borrowed will be subject to interest costs that may or may not be recovered by earnings on the securities purchased. The Fund may also be required to maintain minimum average balances in connection with a borrowing or to pay a commitment or other fee to maintain a line of credit; either of these requirements would increase the cost of borrowing over the stated interest rate.

**CYBERSECURITY RISK.** Investment companies, such as the Fund, and its service providers may be prone to operational and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks include, among other behaviors, stealing or corrupting data maintained online or digitally, denial of service attacks on websites, the unauthorized release of confidential information, or various other forms of cybersecurity breaches. Cyber-attacks affecting the Fund or the Adviser, Sub-Adviser, accountant, custodian, transfer agent, index providers, market makers, Authorized Participants and other third-party service providers may adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of Authorized Participant transactions, impact the Fund's ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of private shareholder information or confidential company information, impede trading, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or financial losses, and cause reputational damage. The Fund could incur extraordinary expenses for cybersecurity risk management purposes, prevention and/or resolution. Similar types of cybersecurity risks also are present for issuers of securities in which the Fund invests, which could result in material adverse consequences for such issuers, and may cause the Fund's investment in such portfolio companies to lose value.

**DERIVATIVES.** The Fund may invest in derivative instruments. Generally, the Fund will not use derivatives to increase leverage, and the Fund will provide margin or collateral, as applicable, with respect to investments in derivatives in such amounts as determined under applicable law, regulatory guidance, or related interpretations.

Generally, derivatives are financial contracts whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index, and may relate to bonds, interest rates, currencies, commodities, and related indexes. Examples of derivative instruments include forward currency contracts, currency and interest rate swaps, currency options, futures contracts, options on futures contracts, swap agreements, and credit-linked notes.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund is subject to the risk that a change in U.S. law and related regulations will impact the way the Fund operates, increase the particular costs of the Fund's operation, and/or change the competitive landscape. In October 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, which governs a fund's use of derivatives. Among other things, the rule generally requires a fund to adopt a derivatives risk management program, appoint a derivatives risk manager to oversee the program, and comply with an outer limit on fund leverage risk based on value at risk, or "VaR". The rule significantly changed the regulatory framework applicable to a fund's use of derivatives, including by replacing the prior asset segregation regulatory framework in its entirety.

Forwards, swaps, and certain other derivatives are subject to regulation under The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act") in the U.S. and certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. Physically-settled forwards entered into between eligible contract participants, such as the Fund, are generally subject to fewer regulatory requirements in the U.S. than non-deliverable forwards. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, non-deliverable forwards are regulated as swaps and are subject to rules requiring central clearing and mandatory trading on an exchange or facility that is regulated by the CFTC. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, non-deliverable forwards, swaps, and certain other derivatives traded in the over the counter ("OTC") market are subject to initial and variation margin requirements. The Fund's counterparties may be subject to additional regulatory requirements and/or apply the regulatory requirements more broadly than is required for administrative and other reasons, including, for example, by (i) applying the stricter regulatory requirements to physically-settled forwards that are applicable to non-deliverable forwards even though the stricter rules are not technically applicable to such physically-settled forwards; and (ii) applying smaller thresholds for the delivery of variation margin than required. As such, the Fund, when using currency forwards, may need to hold additional cash to meet regulatory requirements, which may include raising cash by selling securities and/or obtaining cash through other arrangements in order to meet margin requirements, which may, among other potential consequences, cause an increase in expense ratio, lead to the realization of taxable gains, increase costs to the Fund of trading, or otherwise affect returns to investors in the Fund. WisdomTree Asset Management, on behalf of the Fund, has filed with the National Futures Association ("NFA") a notice of eligibility claiming an exclusion from the definition of commodity pool operator ("CPO") under revised CFTC Rule 4.5 under the Commodity Exchange Act (the "CEA"). Accordingly, the Fund and WisdomTree Asset Management, with respect to the Fund, are not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool or CPO. It is expected that the Fund will be able to operate pursuant to the limitations under the revised CFTC Rule 4.5 without materially adversely affecting its ability to achieve its investment objective. If, however, these limitations were to make it difficult for the Fund to achieve its investment objective in the future, the Trust may determine to operate the Fund as a regulated commodity pool pursuant to WisdomTree Asset Management's CPO registration or to reorganize or close the Fund or to materially change the Fund's investment objectives and strategies.

**Swap Agreements and Options on Swap Agreements.** The Fund may enter into swap agreements, including currency swaps, interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, and total return swaps. A typical foreign currency swap involves the exchange of cash flows based on the notional differences among two or more currencies (*e.g.*, the U.S. dollar and the euro). A typical interest rate swap involves the exchange of a floating interest rate payment for a fixed interest payment. A typical credit default swap ("CDS") involves an agreement to make a series of payments by the buyer in exchange for receipt of payment by the seller if the loan defaults. In the event of default, the buyer of the CDS receives compensation (usually the face value of the loan), and the seller of the CDS takes possession of the defaulted loan. In the event that the Fund acts as a CDS protection seller, the Fund would generally receive an upfront payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the CDS, provided that there is no credit event. In the event that the Fund acts as a CDS protection buyer and no credit event occurred during the term of the CDS, the Fund would recover nothing. Where the Fund is the protection buyer, CDS involve the risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to the Fund in the event of a default. The Fund's obligations under a CDS will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owing to the Fund). Total return swaps involve the exchange of payments based on the total return on an underlying reference asset. The total return includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments. Swap agreements can be structured to provide for periodic payments over the term of the swap contract or a single payment at maturity (also known as a "bullet swap"). Swap agreements may be used to hedge or achieve exposure to, for example, currencies, interest rates, and money market securities without actually purchasing such currencies or securities. The Fund may use swap agreements to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of the underlying securities in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. Swap agreements will tend to shift the Fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another or from one payment stream to another.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currencies, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors, and may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the Fund's investments and its share price.

*Swaptions.* The Fund may also enter into options with respect to swap agreements ("swaptions"). A swaption is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) in return for payment of a premium, to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement, on specified terms at a designated future time. Depending on the particular terms, the Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes (sells) a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing the amount of premium paid should the option expire unexercised, but when the Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the swaption the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

**Futures, Options, and Options on Futures Contracts.** The Fund will use futures contracts and may use options and related options on futures contracts to attempt to gain exposure to a particular market, instrument, or index. To the extent the Fund uses futures and options, it will do so only in accordance with applicable requirements of the CEA and the rules thereunder.

*Futures Contracts*. A futures contract is a standardized contract traded on a recognized exchange in which two parties agree to exchange either a specified financial asset or the cash equivalent of said asset of standardized quantity and quality for a price agreed to today (the futures price or the strike price) with delivery occurring at a specified future date. The Fund's investments in listed futures contracts will be backed by investments in liquid assets in an amount equal to the exposure of such contracts. The Fund may take long or short positions in listed futures contracts.

The Fund may transact in listed currency futures contracts and listed U.S. Treasury futures contracts. When the Fund purchases a listed futures contract, it agrees to purchase a specified reference asset (*i.e*., currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. When the Fund sells a listed futures contract, it agrees to sell a specified reference asset (*i.e*., currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the Fund enters into the contract. The exchange clearing corporation is the ultimate counterparty for all exchange listed contracts, so credit risk is limited to the creditworthiness of the exchange's clearing corporation. Margin deposits are posted as performance bonds with the clearing broker and, in turn, with the exchange clearing corporation.

The Fund may buy and sell index futures contracts with respect to any index traded on a recognized exchange or board of trade. An index futures contract is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of trading of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery of the securities comprising the index is made. Instead, settlement in cash must occur upon the termination of the contract, with the settlement being the difference between the contract price, and the actual level of the stock index at the expiration of the contract. Generally, contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the contract.

There are significant risks associated with the Fund's use of futures contracts, including the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the Adviser's ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities and the prices of futures contracts; (3) although the Fund intends to enter into futures contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in futures contracts.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

*Options on Futures Contracts*. The Fund reserves the right to buy or sell options on listed futures contracts. An option on a futures contract gives the purchaser the right, in exchange for payment of a premium, to assume a position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price during the term of the option. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security or instrument at any time during the option period. A call option on a security gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security or instrument at any time during the option period. A premium is paid to the writer of an option as consideration for undertaking the obligation in the contract.

*Options.* The Fund may purchase and write options on an exchange or OTC. OTC options differ from exchange-traded options in several respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk of non-performance by the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for exchange-traded options.

There are significant risks associated with the Fund's use of options contracts, including the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the Adviser's and/or Sub-Adviser's ability to predict movements in the prices of individual securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the securities and the price of options; (3) although the Fund intends to enter into options contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in options contracts.

**EQUITY SECURITIES.** The Fund invests in equity securities. Equity securities, such as the common stocks or preferred stocks of an issuer, are subject to stock market fluctuations and, therefore, may experience volatile changes in value as market conditions, consumer sentiment or the financial condition of the issuers change. A decrease in value of the equity securities in the Fund's portfolio may also cause the value of the Fund's shares to decline.

Holders of common stocks incur more risk than holders of preferred stocks and debt obligations because common stockholders, as owners of the issuer, generally have inferior rights to receive payments from the issuer in comparison with the rights of creditors or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks. Further, unlike debt securities, which typically have a stated principal amount payable at maturity (whose value, however, is subject to market fluctuations prior thereto), or preferred stocks, which typically have a liquidation preference and which may have stated optional or mandatory redemption provisions, common stocks have neither a fixed principal amount nor a maturity. Common stock values are subject to market fluctuations as long as the common stock remains outstanding.

**Investments in the United States.** The economic, political, regulatory, and other events and conditions that affect issuers and investments in the United States differ significantly from those associated with other countries and regions. For example, routine political events, such as a presidential election, can have a significant effect on the U.S. markets and lead to periods of increased volatility. U.S. financial markets also have become increasingly globalized, hosting participants from all over the world and on a more macro level, becoming more integrated with financial markets around the world. As a result, U.S. financial markets are also increasingly vulnerable to the risks that may affect non-U.S. financial markets. The Fund's investments in the United States are particularly subject to the risk that they, and the U.S. economy more generally, will be adversely affected by a decrease in imports or exports, changes in trade regulations, inflation and/or an economic recession in the United States. In addition, proposed and adopted policy and legislative changes in the United States have changed and may continue to change many aspects of financial, public health, environmental, and other regulation. Certain of these changes may have a significant effect, either positive or negative, on U.S. markets and issuers, including issuers in which the Fund may invest. The Fund's investments in the United States may also be adversely affected by any one of several geopolitical risks to which the United States is subject, including its precarious strategic competitive relationship with China, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and related economic sanctions, increasing environmental and climate risk, and the ever-increasing threat of damaging cyberattacks. The United States has also experienced elevated debt levels, increased internal political discord, and significant challenges in managing and containing inflation. If these trends were to continue or any of the other risks were to manifest, whether due to conditions or an event originating from within or outside of the United States, it may have an adverse effect on the Fund's investments in the United States and thus, the Fund's performance.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**EXCHANGE-TRADED PRODUCTS.** The Fund may invest in one or more types of exchange-traded products ("ETPs"), which may include ETFs registered under the 1940 Act, exchange-traded commodity trusts regulated by the CFTC, exchange-traded notes ("ETNs"), ETPs registered under the Securities Act only, as well as instruments that provide exposure to ETPs. Certain of the ETPs in which the Fund may invest may be managed, sponsored, or serviced by the Adviser or an affiliate ("Affiliated ETPs"), and in such capacity, the Adviser or affiliate may receive management or other fees from the ETPs in which the Fund invests. Any such fees would be in addition to the management fee earned by the Adviser for its management of an investing Fund. These fees may create a conflict of interest by influencing the Adviser to invest in the shares of Affiliated ETPs. While the Adviser takes steps to address such conflicts of interest, including subjecting Affiliated ETPs to the same investment criteria or conditions as unaffiliated ETPs, it is possible that such conflicts of interest could impact the Fund.

Generally, the Fund's investment in an ETP will subject the Fund to all of the risks associated with the assets or holdings of such ETP, as well as the general risks of investing in an ETP. For example, the Fund may invest in new ETPs or ETPs that have not yet established a deep trading market at the time of investment. Shares of such ETPs may experience limited trading volume and less liquidity, which may increase the spread (the difference between bid price and ask price) associated with the ETP's share price. In addition, the market price of ETP shares may be more (*i.e.*, a premium) or less (*i.e.*, a discount) than the NAV of the ETP shares and may not correlate to the market price of the ETP's reference asset.

**Exchange-Traded Funds.** ETFs are investment companies regulated pursuant to the 1940 Act and registered with the SEC that trade like stocks on a securities exchange at market prices rather than NAV. As a result, ETF shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (premium) or less than NAV (discount). The Fund, if investing in an ETF, indirectly bears the fees and expenses charged by the ETF in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses. Investments in ETFs also are subject to brokerage and other trading costs that could result in greater expenses for the Fund.

**Exchange-Traded Commodity Trusts.** The Fund may invest, directly or indirectly, in exchange-traded commodity trusts. An exchange-traded commodity trust is a pooled trust that invests in physical commodities or commodity futures, and issues shares that trade on a securities exchange at a discount or premium to the value of the trust's holdings. Investments in exchange-traded commodity trusts also are subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. Exchange-traded commodity trusts are not investment companies registered under the 1940 Act. As a result, in connection with any such investments, the Fund will not have the protections associated with ownership of shares in an investment company registered under the 1940 Act. Investments in exchange-traded commodity trusts, like investments in other commodities, may increase the risk that the Fund may not qualify as RIC under the Code. If the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC, the Fund will be subject to tax, which will reduce returns to shareholders. Such a failure will also alter the treatment of distributions to its shareholders.

**Exchange-Traded Notes.** ETNs generally are senior, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities issued by a sponsor, such as an investment bank. ETNs are traded on exchanges and the returns are linked to the performance of market indexes. In addition to trading ETNs on exchanges, investors may redeem ETNs directly with the issuer on a periodic basis, typically in a minimum amount of 50,000 units, or hold the ETNs until maturity. The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in the underlying market, changes in the applicable interest rates, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced market. Because ETNs are debt securities, they are subject to credit risk. If the issuer has financial difficulties or goes bankrupt, the Fund may not receive the return it was promised. If a rating agency lowers an issuer's credit rating, the value of the ETN may decline and a lower credit rating reflects a greater risk that the issuer will default on its obligation. There may be restrictions on the Fund's right to redeem its investment in an ETN. There are no periodic interest payments for ETNs, and principal is not protected. The Fund's decision to sell its ETN holdings may be limited by the availability of a secondary market.

**FINANCIAL SECTOR INVESTMENTS.** The Fund may engage in transactions with or invest in companies that are considered to be in the financial sector, including commercial banks, brokerage firms, diversified financial services, a variety of firms in all segments of the insurance industry (such as multi-line, property and casualty, and life insurance) and real estate-related companies. There can be no guarantee that these strategies may be successful. The Fund may lose money as a result of defaults or downgrades within the financial sector.

Events in the financial sector have resulted in increased concerns about credit risk and exposure. Well-known financial institutions have experienced significant liquidity and other problems and have defaulted on their debt obligations. Issuers that have exposure to real estate, mortgage and credit markets have been particularly affected. It is uncertain whether or how long these conditions will continue. These events and possible continuing market turbulence may have an adverse effect on Fund performance.

Rule 12d3-1 under the 1940 Act limits the extent to which a fund may invest in the securities of any one company that derives more than 15% of its revenues from brokerage, underwriting or investment management activities. The Fund may purchase securities of an issuer that derived more than 15% of its gross revenues in its most recent fiscal year from securities-related activities, subject to the following conditions: (1) the purchase cannot cause more than 5% of the Fund's total assets to be invested in securities of that issuer; (2) for any equity security, the purchase cannot result in the Fund owning more than 5% of the issuer's outstanding securities in that class; and (3) for a debt security, the purchase cannot result in the Fund owning more than 10% of the outstanding principal amount of the issuer's debt securities. The Fund, in seeking to comply with this rule, may experience greater index tracking error because the Index is not subject to the rule.

In applying the gross revenue test, an issuer's own securities-related activities must be combined with its ratable share of securities-related revenues from enterprises in which it owns a 20% or greater voting or equity interest. All of the above percentage limitations, as well as the issuer's gross revenue test, are applicable at the time of purchase. With respect to warrants, rights, and convertible securities, a determination of compliance with the above limitations shall be made as though such warrant, right, or conversion privilege had been exercised. The Fund will not be required to divest its holdings of a particular issuer when circumstances subsequent to the purchase cause one of the above conditions to not be met. The purchase of a general partnership interest in a securities-related business is prohibited.

**FIXED INCOME SECURITIES.** The Fund invests in fixed income securities, such as notes, bonds, and/or instruments related to fixed income securities. Fixed income securities change in value in response to interest rate changes and other factors, such as the perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. For example, the value of fixed income securities will generally decrease when interest rates rise, which may cause the value of the Fund to decrease. Fixed income securities with short-term maturities are generally less sensitive to such changes than are fixed-income securities with longer-term maturities, which will generally fluctuate more in response to interest rate changes. The capacity of traditional dealers to engage in fixed income trading has not kept pace with the bond market's growth and dealer inventories of bonds are at or near historic lows relative to market size. Because market makers provide stability to fixed income markets, the significant reduction in dealer inventories could lead to decreased liquidity and increased volatility, which may become exacerbated during periods of economic or political stress. In addition, liquidity risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment in which investor redemptions (or selling of fund shares in the secondary market) from fixed income funds may be higher than normal.

**ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS.** Although the Fund does not intend to do so, as a matter of policy, the Fund may invest up to an aggregate amount of 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Illiquid investments include securities subject to contractual or other restrictions on resale and other instruments that lack readily available markets to the extent the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has not deemed such securities to be liquid. An illiquid investment is any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. The liquidity of a security will be determined based on the relevant market, trading, and investment specific conditions. Illiquid investments include securities subject to contractual or other restrictions on resale and other instruments that lack readily available markets to the extent the Adviser or Sub-Adviser has not deemed such securities to be liquid. The inability of the Fund to dispose of illiquid or not readily marketable investments readily or at a reasonable price could impair the Fund's ability to raise cash for redemptions or other purposes. The liquidity of securities purchased by the Fund which are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, except for certain 144A bonds, will be monitored by the Fund on an ongoing basis. In the event that more than 15% of the Fund's net assets are invested in illiquid investments, the Fund, in accordance with Rule 22e-4(b)(1)(iv) of the 1940 Act, will report the occurrence to both the Board and the SEC and seek to reduce its holdings of illiquid investments within a reasonable period of time.

**INVESTMENT COMPANY SECURITIES.** The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies (including money market funds) and certain ETPs as well as instruments that provide exposure to other investment companies. The 1940 Act generally prohibits a fund from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting shares of an investment company and limits such investments to no more than 5% of the fund's total assets in any single investment company and no more than 10% in any combination of two or more investment companies. The Fund may invest in other investment companies beyond these statutory limits in pursuit of its investment objective to the extent it enters into agreements and abides by certain conditions of Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act. The Fund may purchase or otherwise invest in shares of affiliated ETFs and money market funds.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**ISSUER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS.** Issuer-specific conditions may affect the value of the Fund's investments. The financial condition of an issuer of a security or counterparty to a contract may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security or contract. The Fund cannot collect interest and principal payments if the issuer or counterparty defaults. Accordingly, the value of an investment in the Fund may change in response to issuer or counterparty defaults and changes in the credit ratings of the Fund's portfolio securities. In addition, although all of the securities held by the Fund are generally listed on one or more U.S. or non-U.S. stock exchanges, there can be no guarantee that a liquid market for such securities will be made or maintained. The existence of a liquid trading market for certain securities may depend on whether dealers will make a market in such securities. The price at which securities may be sold and, therefore, the value of the Fund's shares will be adversely affected if trading markets for the Fund's portfolio securities are limited or absent, or if bid/ask spreads are wide.

**LACK OF DIVERSIFICATION.** The Fund is considered to be "non-diversified." A "non-diversified" classification means that the Fund is not limited by the 1940 Act with regard to the percentage of its total assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. As a result, the Fund may invest more of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were classified as a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an individual issuer or a small number of issuers than a fund that invests more widely, which may have a greater impact on the Fund's volatility and performance. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the diversification requirements necessary to qualify as a RIC under the Code. For more information, see "Taxes" below.

**MARKET RISK.** Various factors and events can impact the entire market or specific market segments including political and economic developments such as changes in interest rates, government regulation, and the outlook for economic growth or recession, as well as events that impact specific issuers such as changes to an issuer's actual or perceived creditworthiness. While changes in market conditions and interest rates generally do not have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments, during a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Investor perceptions, confidence (or lack thereof) and/or uncertainty may also impact the value of the Fund's investments and the value of an investment in the Fund's shares. These investor perceptions, confidence (or lack thereof), and/or uncertainty are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary, and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic, health, or banking crises.

Markets around the world are increasingly connected. Changing economic, political, or financial market conditions in one country or geographic region could adversely affect the market value of the securities held by the Fund in a different country or geographic region due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. In addition, certain geopolitical and other events, including environmental events and public health events such as epidemics and pandemics, may have a global impact and add to instability in world economies and markets generally. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic, political, financial, and/or social difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected by such events. Such market conditions may also lead to increased regulation of the Fund and the instruments in which the Fund may invest, which may, in turn, increase the expenses incurred by the Fund and/or affect the Fund's ability to pursue its investment objective and the Fund's performance. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause overall market volatility as well as major disruptions to global markets and economies, including exchange trading suspensions and closures. In addition, a global pandemic may result in severe losses across certain sectors and industries, including decreased employee availability and significant disruptions to business operations and supply chains. Government efforts to contain the spread of a pandemic and mitigate its economic impact may lead to a large expansion of government deficits and debt, which in turn may result in higher inflation. A global pandemic similar to COVID-19 that may arise in the future could adversely affect the economies of many nations, the global economy, individual companies, and capital markets in ways that cannot be foreseen at the present time. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Changes in U.S. policy may also introduce heightened risks, including economic policy and market risks, such as with the imposition of tariffs and other trade-related initiatives that could disrupt markets globally. Trade disputes and retaliatory actions, such as embargoes and other trade limitations, may reduce the profitability of companies in which the Fund invests, lead to a significant reduction in international trade, and adversely affect the growth of the global economy. Trade disputes may also increase currency exchange rate volatility, which can adversely affect the prices of certain Fund investments and the ability of the Fund to hedge its currency risk, and negatively affect investor confidence in the markets generally and investment growth and could contribute to volatility or overall declines in the U.S. and global investment markets. Domestic policy initiatives and related tensions could result in market disruptions, including with respect to certain industries or sectors such as the oil and natural gas markets, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation, and global growth. These conflicts, policy initiatives, and tensions could adversely affect the value of certain Fund investments, as well as the Fund's performance and liquidity, even if the Fund does not have direct investment exposure to a country involved in a particular conflict or industry directly affected by trade restrictions. Ongoing armed conflicts between Russia and Ukraine in Europe, and among Israel, Iran, and Hamas and other militant groups in the Middle East, and related sanctions and trading restrictions, have caused significant market disruptions and volatility within the markets globally.

It is impossible to predict the effects on the Fund of these or similar events and market conditions in the future; however, it is possible that these or similar events and market conditions could have a significant and adverse effect on the NAV and/or risk profile of the Fund.

**MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS.** The Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high-quality money market instruments on an ongoing basis to provide liquidity or for other reasons. The instruments in which the Fund may invest include: (i) short-term obligations issued by the U.S. government; (ii) negotiable certificates of deposit ("CDs"), fixed time deposits and bankers' acceptances of U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions; (iii) commercial paper rated at the date of purchase "Prime-1" by Moody's or "A-1+" or "A-1" by S&P Global Ratings ("S&P") or, if unrated, of comparable quality as determined by the Fund; and (iv) repurchase agreements. CDs are short-term negotiable obligations of commercial banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest rates. Banker's acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.

**REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.** The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which the Fund purchases securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or its affiliate) and simultaneously commits to resell them to a counterparty at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased obligations. This is designed to result in a fixed rate of return for the Fund insulated from market fluctuations during the holding period. Because they are collateralized by securities, including mortgage-backed securities, repurchase agreements are subject to market and credit risk. A repurchase agreement maturing in more than seven days may be considered an illiquid investment. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special "tri-party" custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and its counterparty. Thus, the obligation of the counterparty to pay the repurchase price on the date agreed to or upon demand is, in effect, secured by such obligations.

Repurchase agreements carry certain risks not associated with direct investments in securities, including a possible decline in the market value of the underlying obligations. If their value becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. The difference between the total amount to be received upon repurchase of the obligations and the price that was paid by the Fund upon acquisition is accrued as interest and included in its net investment income. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other than U.S. government securities (such as commercial paper and corporate bonds) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections in the event of the counterparty's insolvency. If the seller or guarantor becomes insolvent, the Fund may suffer delays, costs, and possible losses in connection with the disposition of collateral.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS.** The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, which involve the sale of securities held by the Fund subject to its agreement to repurchase the securities at an agreed-upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest. Reverse repurchase agreements are subject to the Fund's limitation on borrowings and may be entered into only with banks or securities dealers or their affiliates. While a reverse repurchase agreement is outstanding, the Fund will, for all of its reverse repurchase agreements, either (i) consistent with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, maintain asset coverage of at least 300% of the value of the repurchase agreement or (ii) treat the reverse repurchase agreement as a derivatives transaction for purposes of Rule 18f-4, including, as applicable, the VaR-based limit on leverage risk.

Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the buyer of the securities sold by the Fund might be unable to deliver them when the Fund seeks to repurchase. If the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the buyer or trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Fund's obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Fund's use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision.

**SECURITIES LENDING.** The Fund participates in a securities lending program administered by The Bank of New York ("BNY"), in its capacity as a third-party securities lending agent, pursuant to which it may lend its portfolio securities in an amount not to exceed one-third (33 1/3%) of the value of its total assets to certain creditworthy borrowers, including brokers, dealers, and other financial institutions. Loans of portfolio securities provide the Fund with the opportunity to earn additional income on the Fund's portfolio securities. All securities loans will be made pursuant to agreements requiring the loans to be continuously secured by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value (plus accrued interest) of the loaned securities. The collateral will be maintained and marked to market daily by the Fund's securities lending agent, who will request any shortfall from the borrower. The Fund has permitted the securities lending agent to invest any collateral received in short-term, highly liquid investments, such as U.S. government securities, repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. government securities, and government money market funds, including affiliated government money market funds. The terms of the securities lending program provide that the Fund will receive a portion of the income generated from the loan of its securities and the investment of the collateral received in connection with such loan. In exchange for its services, the securities lending agent also receives a portion of the revenue generated by the securities lending program. Lending portfolio securities involves risks of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or in some cases loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Furthermore, because of the risks of delay in recovery, the Fund may lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. While the Fund's portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower has the right to exercise any voting rights associated with those securities and the right to receive dividends and other distributions on those securities. However, the Fund has the right to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matter of importance to it, and a borrower is obligated to repay to the Fund the amount of any dividends or distributions received on the loaned securities. Generally, the Fund would recall a loaned security to vote a proxy only if the matter to be voted on could have a material effect on the Fund or its investment in the loaned securities.

**SHORT SALE TRANSACTIONS.** The Fund may engage in "short sale" transactions. A short sale involves the sale by the Fund of a listed futures contract, security, or commodity that it does not own at a specified price on a future date. Entering into a short sale transaction, the Fund would generally expect the trading price of the subject listed futures contract, security or commodity to be lower on the specified future date than the price at which it agreed to sell the security or commodity. The Fund would hope to acquire the listed futures contract, security, or commodity at a lower price on such date, thereby realizing a gain equal to the difference in the acquisition price and the sale price (less any costs). The Fund may also enter into a short derivative position through a futures contract or swap agreement. If the price of the listed futures contract, security, commodity or derivative subject to a short sale transaction increases during the period covered by the contract, then the Fund will incur a loss equal to the increase in price from the time that the short sale was entered (plus any costs). Because it requires little or no money to enter into a short sale transaction, the Fund could potentially lose more money than the actual cost of entering into the transaction.

Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to the Fund. The Fund engaging in short sale transactions may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund's open short positions. These expenses negatively impact the performance of the Fund. The Fund's investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund is required to segregate cash and other assets on its books to cover its short sale obligations. This means that such cash and other assets may not be available to meet the Fund's needs for immediate cash or other liquidity.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**TRACKING STOCKS.** The Fund may invest in tracking stocks. A tracking stock is a separate class of common stock whose value is linked to a specific business unit or operating division within a larger company and which is designed to "track" the performance of such business unit or division. The Fund may also purchase intermediate and long-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. The tracking stock may pay dividends to shareholders independent of the parent company. The parent company, rather than the business unit or division, generally is the issuer of tracking stock. However, holders of the tracking stock may not have the same rights as holders of the company's common stock.

**U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.** The Fund will invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. Such obligations may be short-, intermediate- or long-term. The Fund may also purchase intermediate and long-term obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or the agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government. U.S. government securities are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, its agencies, or government-sponsored enterprises. U.S. government securities are subject to market and interest rate risk, and may be subject to varying degrees of credit risk. U.S. government securities include inflation-indexed fixed income securities, such as U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). U.S. government securities include zero coupon securities, which tend to be subject to greater market risk than interest-paying securities of similar maturities.

**PROXY VOTING POLICY**

The Trust has adopted as its proxy voting policy for the Fund the proxy voting policy and guidelines of the Sub-Adviser. The Trust has delegated to the Sub-Adviser the authority and responsibility for voting proxies related to the portfolio securities held by the Fund. The remainder of this section discusses the Fund's proxy voting policy and guidelines that the Sub-Adviser complies with when voting proxies related to the Fund's portfolio holdings.

As a registered investment adviser, Mellon is often entrusted with the fiduciary responsibility to vote proxies for shares of corporate stock held on behalf of its clients, including the Fund. Proxy voting is an integral part of the management of the investment in those shares. In voting proxies, Mellon takes into account long-term economic value as it evaluates issues relating to corporate governance, including structures and practices, the nature of long-term business plans, including sustainability policies and practices to address environmental and social factors that are likely to have an impact on shareholder value, and other financial and nonfinancial measures of corporate performance.

Mellon, through its Proxy Voting Committee (the "Proxy Voting Committee"), applies detailed, pre-determined, written proxy voting guidelines for specific types of proposals and matters commonly submitted to shareholders of U.S. companies and those other companies established in non-U.S. jurisdictions that have significant operations occurring within the U.S. (the "Mellon Voting Guidelines"). For non-U.S. companies without significant U.S. operations, Mellon seeks to vote proxies through application of the ISS Global Voting Principles and Regional Policies/Principles (the "ISS Voting Guidelines" and, collectively with the Mellon Voting Guidelines, each as in effect from time-to-time, the "Voting Guidelines"). Mellon, in voting proxies, will seek to act solely in the best financial and economic interests of its clients, including the Fund.

Mellon takes seriously its responsibility to vote proxies on behalf of its clients as a prudent fiduciary. In general, we employ proxy voting to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· align the interests of a company's management and board of directors with those of the company's
 shareholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· promote the accountability of a company's management to its board of directors, as well as the accountability
 of the board of directors to the company's shareholders and stakeholders regarding matters that could affect the long-term value
 of the company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· uphold the rights of a company's shareholders to affect change by voting on those matters submitted
 to shareholders for approval; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· promote adequate disclosure about a company's business operations and financial
 activity

***Securities of Non-U.S. Companies.*** With regard to voting proxies with respect to shares of non-U.S. companies, Mellon weighs the cost of voting, and potential inability to sell, the shares against the benefit of voting the shares to determine whether or not to vote. However, corporate governance practices, disclosure requirements and voting operations vary significantly among the markets in which the Fund may invest. In these markets, Mellon generally seeks to submit proxy votes in a manner consistent with the ISS Voting Guidelines, while taking into account the different legal and regulatory requirements. For example, proxy voting in certain countries requires "share blocking" pursuant to which the Fund must deposit before the meeting date its holdings of securities with a designated depositary in order to vote proxies with respect to such securities. During this time, the shares cannot be sold until the meeting has taken place and the shares are returned to the fund's custodian bank. Mellon generally believes that the benefit of exercising the vote in these countries is outweighed by the cost of voting (*i.e.*, the Fund's portfolio managers not being able to sell the Fund's shares of such securities while the shares are blocked). Therefore, if share blocking is required, Mellon typically elects not to vote the shares. Voting proxies of issuers in non-U.S. markets also raises administrative issues that may prevent voting such proxies. For example, meeting notices may be received with insufficient time to fully consider the proposal(s) or after the deadline for voting has passed. Other markets require the provision of local agents with a power of attorney before acting on the voting instructions. In some cases the power of attorney may be unavailable prior to the meeting date or rejected by the local agent on a technical basis. Additionally, the costs of voting in certain non-U.S. markets may be substantially higher than in the United States.

***Securities Out on Loan.*** For securities that the Fund has loaned to another party, any voting rights that accompany the loaned securities generally pass to the borrower of the securities, but the Fund retains the right to recall a security and may then exercise the security's voting rights. In order to vote the proxies of securities out on loan, the securities must be recalled prior to the established record date. The Fund may recall the loan to vote proxies if a material issue affecting the Fund's investment is to be voted upon. Generally, the Fund would recall a loaned security to vote a proxy only if the Adviser believes the matter to be voted on could have a material effect on the Fund or its investment in the loaned securities.

***Material Conflicts of Interest.*** Mellon seeks to avoid material conflicts of interest between the Fund and the Fund's shareholders, on the one hand, and BNYM Investment Adviser, Mellon, the Distributor, or any affiliated person of the fund, BNYM Investment Adviser, Mellon or the Distributor, on the other, through several layers of controls, including its participation in the Proxy Voting Committee. The Proxy Voting Committee seeks to avoid material conflicts of interest through the establishment of the committee structure, the members of which are senior officers and investment professionals, and do not include individuals whose primary duties relate to sales, marketing or client services. The Proxy Committee applies detailed, pre-determined proxy voting guidelines (the applicable Voting Guidelines) in an objective and consistent manner across client accounts, based on, as applicable, internal and external research and recommendations provided by third party proxy advisory services (including ISS and Glass Lewis, together the "Proxy Advisors") and without consideration of any client relationship factors. When proxies are voted in accordance with these pre-determined Voting Guidelines, it is Mellon's view that these votes do not present the potential for a material conflict of interest and no additional safeguards are needed. In addition, Mellon engages a third party as an independent fiduciary to vote all proxies for securities of BNY and may engage an independent fiduciary to vote proxies as a further safeguard to avoid potential conflicts of interest or as otherwise required by applicable law. These instances typically arise due to relationships between proxy issuers or companies and BNY, a BNY affiliate, a BNY executive, or a member of BNY's Board of Directors, but material conflicts of interests may also arise due to relationships involving Mellon and/or Mellon employees, officers and directors. When an independent fiduciary is engaged, the fiduciary either will vote the involved proxy, or provide Mellon with instructions as to how to vote such proxy. In the latter case, Mellon will vote the proxy in accordance with the independent fiduciary's determination. Other possible conflict resolutions may include: (1) voting in proportion to other shareholders ("mirror voting"); (2) erecting informational barriers around, or recusal from the vote decision making process by, the person or persons making voting decisions; and (3) voting in other ways that are consistent with our obligation to vote in our clients' best interest.

***Operations of the Proxy Voting Committee.*** The Proxy Voting Committee also has engaged ISS as its proxy voting agent to administer the ministerial, non-discretionary elements of proxy voting and reporting. In that role, ISS is required to follow the Voting Guidelines and apply them to the corresponding proxy proposals or matters on which a shareholder vote is sought. Accordingly, proxies that can be appropriately categorized and matched will be voted in accordance with the applicable Voting Guideline, or a proxy proposal will be referred to the Proxy Voting Committee if the Voting Guidelines so require, and generally for those proxy proposals or shareholder voting matters that are contested or similarly controversial and require a case-by-case analysis, as determined by the Committee in its discretion (*e.g.*, proxy contests, potentially excessive executive compensation issues, or certain shareholder proposals). In addition, the Proxy Voting Committee has directed ISS to refer to it for discussion and vote all proxy proposals of those issuers: (1) where the percentage of their outstanding voting securities held in the aggregate in accounts managed Mellon is deemed significant or (2) that are at or above a certain specified market capitalization size (each, as determined by the Proxy Voting Committee in its discretion). For items referred to it, the Proxy Voting Committee may determine to accept or reject any recommendation based on the Voting Guidelines, research and analysis provided by its Proxy Advisors, or on any independent research and analysis obtained or generated by Mellon.

**INDEX DESCRIPTION**

A description of the Index on which the Fund's investment strategy is based is provided in the Fund's Prospectus under "Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund" with certain additional details provided below. Additional information about the Index, including the constituents and weightings of the Index and the Index's methodology, which contains the rules that govern, among other things, the security selection criteria for the Index and the weighting of selected securities in the Index, is available at wisdomtree.com/investments/index.

*Index Construction*

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree Core Equity Index Committee (the "Index Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree. The Index Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Index Committee is to seek to ensure the Index methodology is implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined by the Index Committee.

The eligibility criteria for the Index are described in the "Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund" and "Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Strategies" sections of the Fund's Prospectus.

*Index Screening/Rebalance Dates.* The Index is reconstituted based on the moving average crossover ratio, which is monitored daily. The Index Committee may determine to rebalance and/or reconstitute the Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from certain sectors, geopolitical events, or other similar circumstances.

Except as otherwise indicated by the Index Provider, new securities are added to the Index only during a reconstitution of the Index. Between reconstitution or rebalance dates, a constituent can be deleted from the Index due to corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, takeovers, or delistings. Index rebalance and reconstitution schedules and screening dates (described below) change from time to time. The latest Index calendar is available at www.wisdomtree.com/investments/index. The Index is reconstituted or rebalanced in the month following the screening date.

*Maintenance.* Index maintenance occurs throughout the year and includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, corporate restructurings, and other corporate actions. Corporate actions are generally implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. To the extent reasonably practicable, such changes will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation.

*Changes to the Index Methodology.* The Index is governed by a published, rules-based methodology. Changes to the methodology will be publicly disclosed at www.wisdomtree.com/investments/wisdomtree-etfs/index-notices.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

*Index Calculation Agent.* To minimize any potential for conflicts caused by the fact that WisdomTree and its affiliates act as Index Provider and investment adviser to the Fund, WisdomTree has retained an unaffiliated third party to calculate the Index (the "Calculation Agent"). The Calculation Agent, using the Index's rules-based methodology, will calculate and disseminate the Index on a daily basis. WisdomTree will monitor the results produced by the Calculation Agent to help ensure that the Index is being calculated in accordance with its rules-based methodology. In addition, WisdomTree and WisdomTree Asset Management have established policies and procedures designed to prevent non-public information about pending changes to the Index from being used or disseminated in an improper manner. Furthermore, WisdomTree and WisdomTree Asset Management have established policies and procedures designed to prevent improper use and dissemination of nonpublic information about the Fund's portfolio strategies.

**PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DISCLOSURE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES**

The Trust has adopted a Portfolio Holdings Policy (the "Policy") designed to govern the disclosure of Fund portfolio holdings and the use of material non-public information about Fund holdings. The Policy applies to all officers, employees, and agents of the Fund, including the Advisers. The Policy is designed to ensure that the disclosure of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings is consistent with applicable legal requirements and otherwise in the best interest of the Fund.

As an ETF, information about the Fund's portfolio holdings is made available each Business Day in accordance with the provisions of any regulations of the Listing Exchange and other applicable SEC regulations, orders, and no-action relief. A "Business Day" with respect to the Fund is any day on which the Listing Exchange is open for business. As of the date of this SAI, the Listing Exchange observes the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

This information is used in connection with the creation and redemption process and is disseminated on a daily basis through the facilities of the Listing Exchange, the National Securities Clearing Corporation ("NSCC") and/or third-party service providers.

Daily access to the Fund's portfolio holdings with no lag time is permitted to personnel of the Advisers, the Distributor and the Fund's administrator (the "Administrator"), custodian and accountant and other agents or service providers of the Trust who have need of such information in connection with the ordinary course of their respective duties to the Fund. The Fund's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") may authorize disclosure of portfolio holdings.

The Fund will disclose its complete portfolio holdings online at www.wisdomtree.com/investments/etfs. Online disclosure of such holdings is publicly available at no charge.

The Fund will also disclose its complete portfolio holdings schedule in public filings with the SEC on a quarterly basis, based on the Fund's fiscal year end, within sixty (60) days of the end of the quarter, and will provide that information to shareholders, as required by federal securities laws and regulations thereunder.

No person is authorized to disclose the Fund's portfolio holdings or other investment positions except in accordance with the Policy. The Board reviews the implementation of the Policy on a periodic basis.

**INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS**

The following fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the Fund's Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever a fundamental or non-fundamental investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of the Fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the Fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, other than with respect to the Fund's limitations on borrowings, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the Fund's investment policies and limitations.

The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities as defined under the 1940 Act. The Fund, however, may change the non-fundamental investment policies described below, its investment objective, and the Index without a shareholder vote provided that it obtains Board approval and where required, provides its shareholders with at least sixty (60) days' prior written notice of any such change.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**Fundamental Policies.** The investment policies and limitations set forth below are fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval. As a general matter, the Fund may not engage in the activities described in the policies below except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act.

The Fund, as a fundamental investment policy, may not:

 ****

***Senior Securities***

Issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.

***Borrowing***

Borrow money, except as permitted under the 1940 Act.

***Underwriting***

Act as an underwriter of another issuer's securities, except to the extent that the Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act in the disposition of portfolio securities.

***Concentration***

Purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry, except that the Fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in securities of the same industry to approximately the same extent that the Index concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries.

***Real Estate***

Purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate, real estate investment trusts or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

***Commodities***

Purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

***Loans***

Lend any security or make any other loan except as permitted under the 1940 Act. This means that no more than 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets would be lent to other parties. This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments, permissible under the Fund's investment policies.

**Non-Fundamental Policy.** The investment policy set forth below has been adopted as a non-fundamental investment policy in accordance with Rule 35d-1 under the 1940 Act and may be changed without shareholder approval. Prior to any change to the policy, the Fund will provide shareholders with 60 days' notice to the extent required.

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.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**CONTINUOUS OFFERING**

The method by which Creation Unit Aggregations of shares are created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. Because new Creation Unit Aggregations of shares are issued and sold by the Fund on an ongoing basis, at any point a "distribution," as such term is used in the Securities Act, may occur. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which could render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery requirement and liability provisions of the Securities Act.

For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client may be deemed a statutory underwriter if it takes Creation Unit Aggregations after placing an order with the Distributor, breaks them down into constituent shares, and sells such shares directly to customers, or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for shares. A determination of whether one is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the particular case, and the examples mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could lead to a categorization as an underwriter.

Broker-dealer firms should also note that dealers who are not "underwriters" but are effecting transactions in shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of shares, generally are required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act is not available in respect of such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. Firms that incur a prospectus delivery obligation with respect to shares of the Fund are reminded that, pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act, a prospectus delivery obligation under Section 5(b)(2) of the Securities Act owed to an exchange member in connection with the sale on the Listing Exchange is satisfied by the fact that the prospectus is available at the Listing Exchange upon request. The prospectus delivery mechanism provided in Rule 153 is only available with respect to transactions on an exchange.

WisdomTree or its affiliates (the "Selling Shareholder") may purchase Creation Unit Aggregations through a broker-dealer to "seed" (in whole or in part) funds, including the Fund, as they are launched or thereafter, may purchase shares from other broker-dealers or other investors that have previously provided "seed" for funds, including the Fund, when they were launched or otherwise in secondary market transactions, and because the Selling Shareholder may be deemed an affiliate of such funds, the shares are being registered to permit the resale of these shares from time to time after purchase. The Fund will not receive any of the proceeds from the resale by the Selling Shareholders of such shares.

The Selling Shareholder intends to sell all or a portion of the shares owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more broker-dealers, and may also hedge such positions. The shares may be sold on any national securities exchange on which the shares may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the OTC market or in transactions other than on these exchanges or systems at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. The Selling Shareholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ordinary brokerage transactions through brokers or dealers (who may act as agents or principals) or directly
 to one or more purchasers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• privately negotiated transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether such options are listed
 on an options exchange or otherwise; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Shareholder may also loan or pledge shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Shareholder may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, or create one or more derivative securities which require delivering shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution (these shares may then be sold by such broker-dealer or other financial institution).

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Selling Shareholder and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the distribution of shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid to any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholder who may be deemed an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The Selling Shareholder has informed the Fund that it is not a registered broker-dealer and does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares. Upon the Fund being notified in writing by the Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this SAI will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 497 under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each Selling Shareholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in the Fund's Prospectus and SAI, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.

The Selling Shareholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares by the Selling Shareholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. There is a risk that the Selling Shareholder may redeem its investments in the Fund or otherwise sell its shares to a third party that may redeem. As with redemptions by other large shareholders, such redemptions could have a significant negative impact on the Fund and its shares.

**MANAGEMENT OF THE TRUST**

**Board Responsibilities.** The Board is responsible for overseeing the management and affairs of the Fund and the Trust. The Board has considered and approved contracts, as described herein, under which certain companies provide essential management and administrative services to the Trust. Like most ETFs, the day-to-day business of the Trust, including the day-to-day management of risk, is performed by third-party service providers, such as the Advisers, Distributor, and Administrator. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Trust's service providers and, thus, has oversight responsibility with respect to the risk management performed by those service providers. Risk management seeks to identify and eliminate or mitigate the potential effects of risks, *i.e.*, events or circumstances that could have material adverse effects on the business, operations, shareholder services, investment performance, or reputation of the Trust or the Fund. Under the overall supervision of the Board and the Audit Committee (discussed in more detail below), the service providers to the Fund employ a variety of processes, procedures, and controls to identify risks relevant to the operations of the Trust and the Fund to lessen the probability of their occurrence and/or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur. Each service provider is responsible for one or more discrete aspects of the Trust's business (*e.g.*, the Advisers are responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio investments) and, consequently, for managing the risks associated with that activity.

The Board's role in risk management oversight begins before the inception of a fund, at which time the Adviser presents the Board with information concerning the investment objectives, strategies, and risks of the fund. Additionally, the Fund's Adviser and Sub-Adviser, as applicable, provide the Board periodically with an overview of, among other things, its investment philosophy, brokerage practices, and compliance infrastructure. Thereafter, the Board oversees the risk management of the Fund's operations, in part, by requesting periodic reports from and otherwise communicating with various personnel of the Fund and its service providers, including the Trust's CCO and the Fund's independent accountants. The Board and, with respect to identified risks that relate to its scope of expertise, the Audit Committee, oversee efforts by management and service providers to manage risks to which the fund may be exposed.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Board is responsible for overseeing the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and receives information about those services at its regular meetings. In addition, on at least an annual basis, in connection with its consideration of whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, respectively, the Board meets with the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to review such services. Among other things, the Board regularly considers the Adviser's and Sub-Adviser's adherence to the Fund's investment restrictions and compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. The Board also reviews information about the Fund's performance and investments.

The Trust's CCO meets regularly with the Board to review and discuss compliance and other issues. At least annually, the Trust's CCO provides the Board with a report reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of the Trust's policies and procedures and those of its service providers, including the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The report addresses the operation of the policies and procedures of the Trust and each service provider since the date of the last report; material changes to the policies and procedures since the date of the last report; any recommendations for material changes to the policies and procedures; and material compliance matters since the date of the last report.

The Board receives reports from the Trust's service providers regarding operational risks, portfolio valuation, and other matters. Annually, an independent registered public accounting firm reviews with the Audit Committee its audit of the Fund's financial statements, focusing on major areas of risk encountered by the Fund and noting any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Fund's internal controls.

The Board recognizes that not all risks that may affect the Fund can be identified, that it may not be practical or cost-effective to eliminate or mitigate certain risks, that it may be necessary to bear certain risks (such as investment-related risks) to achieve the Fund's goals, and that the processes, procedures, and controls employed to address certain risks may be limited in their effectiveness. Moreover, despite the periodic reports the Board receives and the Board's discussions with the service providers to the Fund, it may not be made aware of all of the relevant information related to a particular risk. Most of the Trust's investment management and business affairs are carried out by or through the Fund's Adviser, Sub-Adviser, and other service providers, each of which has an independent interest in risk management but whose policies and methods by which one or more risk management functions are carried out may differ from the Trust's and each other's in the setting of priorities, the resources available or the effectiveness of relevant controls. As a result of the foregoing and other factors, the Board's risk management oversight is subject to substantial limitations.

**Members of the Board and Officers of the Trust.** Set forth below are the names, birth years, positions held and length of time served with the Trust, number of portfolios overseen, and principal occupations and other directorships held during the last five years of each of the persons currently serving as members of the Board and as Executive Officers of the Trust. Each Executive Officer of the Trust was appointed by and serves at the pleasure of the Board. The members of the Board serve as Trustees for the life of the Trust or until retirement, removal, or their office is terminated pursuant to the Trust's Declaration of Trust. The address of each Trustee and Officer is c/o WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., 250 West 34<sup>th</sup> Street, 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10119.

The Chairman of the Board, Victor Ugolyn, is not an interested person of the Fund as that term is defined in the 1940 Act. The Board is composed of a super-majority (more than 80%) of Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund (*i.e.*, "Independent Trustees"). There is an Audit Committee, Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee, Contracts Review Committee, and Investment Committee of the Board, each of which is chaired by an Independent Trustee and comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The Committee chair for each is responsible for running the Committee meetings, formulating agendas for those meetings, and coordinating with management to serve as a liaison between the Committee members and management on matters within the scope of the responsibilities of the Committee as set forth in its Board-approved charter. The Fund has determined that this leadership structure is appropriate given the specific characteristics and circumstances of the Fund. The Fund made this determination in consideration of, among other things, the fact that the Independent Trustees of the Fund constitute a super-majority of the Board, the assets under management of the Fund, the number of funds overseen by the Board, the total number of Trustees on the Board, and the fact that an Independent Trustee serves as Chairman of the Board.

**Audit Committee.** Ms. Raso Kirstein and Messrs. Chrencik, Goff, and Ugolyn, each an Independent Trustee, are members of the Board's Audit Committee. The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm, including the resolution of disagreements regarding financial reporting between Trust management and such independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee's responsibilities include, without limitation, to (i) oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Trust and to receive reports regarding the Trust's internal control over financial reporting; (ii) oversee the quality and integrity of the Fund's financial statements and the independent audits thereof; (iii) oversee, or, as appropriate, assist Board oversight of, the Trust's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements that relate to the Trust's accounting and financial reporting, and independent audits; (iv) approve prior to appointment the engagement of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm and, in connection therewith, to review and evaluate the qualifications, independence and performance of the Trust's independent registered public accounting firm; and (v) act as a liaison between the Trust's independent auditors and the full Board. The Independent Trustees' independent legal counsel assists the Audit Committee in connection with these duties. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Audit Committee held seven meetings.

**Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee.** Ms. Massaro and Messrs. Goldberg and Ugolyn, each an Independent Trustee, are members of the Board's Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee. The principal responsibilities of the Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee are to (i) provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to the oversight of appropriate and effective governance of the Trust; (ii) identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees of the Trust and to recommend its nominees for consideration by the full Board; and (iii) provide assistance to the Board in fulfilling its responsibility with respect to overseeing the CCO and overseeing compliance matters involving the Fund and its service providers as reported to the Board. While the Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of the Trust's Independent Trustees, the Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee may consider nominations for the office of Trustee made by Trust shareholders as it deems appropriate. The Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee considers nominees recommended by shareholders if such nominees are submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, in conjunction with a shareholder meeting to consider the election of Trustees. Trust shareholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Secretary of the Trust that include biographical information and set forth the qualifications of the proposed nominee. The Board has adopted a written charter for the Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Governance, Nominating, and Compliance Committee held five meetings.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**Control Persons and Principal Holders of Securities.** Because the Fund is new, the Fund has not received information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares held in the names of Depository Trust Company participants ("DTC Participants").

Certain officers, employees, accounts, or affiliates of WisdomTree Asset Management (such as WisdomTree, Inc., 250 West 34<sup>th</sup> Street, 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10119), including other funds advised by WisdomTree Asset Management or third parties, may from time to time own a substantial amount of the Fund's shares, including as an initial or seed investor. Such positions may be held for a limited period of time, including to facilitate commencement of the Fund, to facilitate the Fund's achieving size or scale or in seeking to track model portfolios of ETFs developed and maintained by the Adviser. Such shareholders, individually and/or collectively, could at times be considered to control the Fund (*i.e.*, own greater than 25% of the Fund's shares) and may purchase or sell shares, including large blocks of shares, at any given time. There can be no assurance that any such entity or person would not redeem or sell its investment, that the size of the Fund would be maintained at such levels, or that the Fund would continue to meet applicable listing requirements, which could negatively impact the Fund and its shares. In addition, such transactions may account for a large percentage of secondary market trading volume and may, therefore, not be sustainable and/or may have a material upward or downward effect on the market price of the shares.

**INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES**

***Investment Adviser.*** WisdomTree Asset Management serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Trust and WisdomTree Asset Management (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"). WisdomTree Asset Management is a Delaware corporation registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), and has offices located at 250 West 34<sup>th</sup> Street, 3<sup>rd</sup> Floor, New York, New York 10119.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, WisdomTree Asset Management is responsible for the overall management and administration of the Trust. WisdomTree Asset Management provides an investment program for the Fund. The Adviser also provides proactive oversight of the Sub-Adviser's daily monitoring of its purchases and sales of Fund securities, and regular review of the Sub-Adviser's performance. In addition, the Adviser arranges for, and oversees, sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, securities lending, and all other non-distribution-related services necessary for the Fund to operate. The Adviser furnishes to the Trust all office facilities, equipment, services, and executive and administrative personnel necessary for managing the investment program of the Trust for the Fund, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Overseeing the Trust's insurance program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Overseeing and coordinating all governance matters for the Trust;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Coordinating meetings of the Board;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Devoting time and resources to maintaining an efficient market for the Fund's shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Maintaining and updating a website for certain required disclosures; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;■ Providing shareholders with additional information about the Fund.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

For its services, the Fund pays WisdomTree Asset Management a management fee, based on a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets, indicated below.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, WisdomTree Asset Management has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies, or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies, or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or redemption transactions); (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of each Independent Trustee; (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust's CCO; (vi) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees); (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (viii) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer, and withholding taxes); (ix) fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; and (x) the management fee payable by the Fund to WisdomTree Asset Management. The internal expenses of pooled investment vehicles in which the Fund may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses) are not expenses of the Fund and are not paid by WisdomTree Asset Management.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, WisdomTree Asset Management arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to the Fund and is liable and responsible for, and administers payments to, the CCO, the Independent Trustees, and counsel to the Independent Trustees. WisdomTree Asset Management receives a fee of up to 0.0044% of the Fund's average daily net assets for providing such services and paying such expenses. WisdomTree Asset Management provides CCO services to the Trust.

The Adviser, from its own resources, including profits from management fees received from the Fund, provided such fees are legitimate and not excessive, may make payments to broker-dealers and other financial institutions for their expenses in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, and otherwise currently pays all distribution costs for Fund shares.

The Investment Advisory Agreement, with respect to the Fund, continues in effect for two years from its effective date, and thereafter is subject to annual approval by (i) the Board or (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, provided that in either event such continuance is also approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. If the shareholders of the Fund fail to approve the Investment Advisory Agreement, WisdomTree Asset Management may continue to serve in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder.

The Investment Advisory Agreement, with respect to the Fund, is terminable without any penalty, by vote of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees of the Trust, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, or by WisdomTree Asset Management, in each case on not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other party; provided that a shorter notice period shall be permitted for the Fund in the event its shares are no longer listed on a national securities exchange. The Investment Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act).

***Sub-Adviser***. Mellon serves as sub-adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment sub-advisory agreement between WisdomTree Asset Management and Mellon (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement") and is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. Mellon, a registered investment adviser, manages global quantitative-based investment strategies for institutional and private investors. Its principal office is located at 500 Ross Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15258. MBC Investments Corporation owns between 80% and 100% of Mellon, with up to 20% owned by certain Mellon employees through authorized employee class restricted shares. MBC Investments Corporation is 100% owned by BNY Mellon IHC, LLC, which is 100% owned by The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. Mellon manages the Fund's portfolio investments and places orders to buy and sell the Fund's portfolio investments. WisdomTree Asset Management pays Mellon for providing sub-advisory services to the Fund.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Mellon believes that it may perform sub-advisory and related services for the Trust without violating applicable banking laws or regulations. However, the legal requirements and interpretations about the permissible activities of banks and their affiliates may change in the future. These changes could prevent Mellon from continuing to perform services for the Trust. If this happens, the Board would consider selecting other qualified firms.

The Sub-Advisory Agreement, with respect to the Fund, continues in effect for two years from its effective date, and thereafter is subject to annual approval by (i) the Board or (ii) the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, provided that in either event such continuance is also approved by a vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. If the shareholders of the Fund fail to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, WisdomTree Asset Management may continue to serve in the manner and to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act and rules and regulations thereunder. The Sub-Advisory Agreement is terminable without any penalty, by vote of the Board of or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, or by WisdomTree Asset Management, in each case on not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other party; provided that a shorter notice period shall be permitted for the Fund in the event its shares are no longer listed on a national securities exchange. The Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically and immediately in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act).

*Portfolio Managers*. The Sub-Adviser utilizes a team of investment professionals acting together to manage the assets of the Fund. The team meets regularly to review portfolio holdings and to discuss purchase and sale activity. The team adjusts holdings in the Fund's portfolio as it deems appropriate in the pursuit of the Fund's investment objective.

The Fund is managed by Mellon's Equity Index Strategies portfolio management team. The individual members of the team jointly and primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio are Marlene Walker-Smith, David France, Todd Frysinger, Vlasta Sheremeta, and Michael Stoll. As of December 31, 2025, the portfolio managers were primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the following accounts, none of which have a performance-based fee:

*Portfolio Manager Fund Ownership.* As of the date of this SAI, none of the portfolio managers owned shares of the Fund.

*Portfolio Manager Compensation.* The Sub-Adviser's rewards program is designed to be market-competitive and align its compensation with the goals of its clients. Its incentive model is designed to compensate for quantitative and qualitative objectives achieved during the performance year. An individual's final annual incentive award is tied to the firm's overall performance, the team's performance, as well as individual performance. Awards are paid in cash on an annual basis; however, some senior individuals may receive a portion of their annual incentive award in deferred vehicles. The following factors encompass the Sub-Adviser's investment professional rewards program:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Base salary

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Annual cash incentive

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Long-Term Incentive Plan (applicable only to select senior individuals)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• BNY restricted stock units

***Description of Material Conflicts of Interest***

It is the policy of Mellon to make business decisions free from conflicting outside influences. Mellon's objective is to recognize potential conflicts of interest and work to eliminate or control and disclose such conflicts as they are identified. Mellon's business decisions are based on its duty to its clients, and not driven by any personal interest or gain. As an asset manager operating in a number of different jurisdictions with a diverse client base in a variety of strategies, conflicts of interest are inherent. Furthermore, as an indirect subsidiary of BNY, potential conflicts may also arise between Mellon and other BNY companies.

Mellon will take steps to provide reasonable assurance that no client or group of clients is advantaged at the expense of any other client. As such, it has adopted a Code of Ethics and compliance policy manual to address such conflicts. These potential and inherent conflicts include but are not limited to: the allocation of investment opportunities, side by side management, execution of portfolio transactions, brokerage conflicts, compensation conflicts, related party arrangements, personal interests, and other investment and operational conflicts of interest. Mellon's compliance policies are designed to ensure that all client accounts are treated equitably over time. Additionally, it has structured compensation of investment personnel to reasonably safeguard client accounts from being adversely impacted by any potential or related conflicts.

All material conflicts of interest are presented in greater detail within Part 2A of Mellon's Form ADV.

Mellon manages numerous accounts with a variety of interests. This necessarily creates potential conflicts of interest for Mellon. For example, Mellon or an affiliate may cause multiple accounts to invest in the same investment. Such accounts may have conflicting interests and objectives in connection with such investment, including differing views on the operations or activities of the portfolio company, the targeted returns for the transaction, and the timeframe for and method of exiting the investment. Conflicts may also arise in cases where multiple Mellon and/or affiliate client accounts are invested in different parts of an issuer's capital structure. For example, one of Mellon's client accounts could acquire debt obligations of a company while an affiliate's client account acquires an equity investment. In negotiating the terms and conditions of any such investments, Mellon may find that the interests of the debt-holding client accounts and the equity-holding client accounts may conflict. If that issuer encounters financial problems, decisions over the terms of the workout could raise conflicts of interest (including, for example, conflicts over proposed waivers and amendments to debt covenants). For example, debt holding accounts may be better served by a liquidation of an issuer in which it could be paid in full, while equity holding accounts might prefer a reorganization of the issuer that would have the potential to retain value for the equity holders. As another example, holders of an issuer's senior securities may be able to act to direct cash flows away from junior security holders, and both the junior and senior security holders may be Mellon client accounts. Any of the foregoing conflicts of interest will be discussed and resolved on a case-by-case basis. Any such discussions will factor in the interests of the relevant parties and applicable laws.

Mellon has a fiduciary duty to manage all client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. To accomplish this, Mellon has adopted various policies and procedures including, but not limited to, policies relating to trading operations, best execution, trade order aggregation and allocation, short sales, cross-trading, code of conduct, personal securities trading, and purchases of securities from affiliated underwriters. These procedures are intended to help employees identify and mitigate potential side-by-side conflicts of interest such as those described above. Mellon has also developed a conflicts matrix listing potential side-by-side conflicts, the compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate such potential conflicts of interest, and the corresponding compliance testing program established with the goal of confirming Mellon's adherence to such policies and procedures.

 ****

***Performance Fees***. The Sub-Adviser may enter into performance-based fee arrangements for certain client accounts and funds. Most of these arrangements provide for an asset-based management fee, based on the market value of the account at month end, quarter end, or based on average market value, plus a performance fee based on the portfolio's net return in excess of a specified benchmark and/or hurdle rate during a designated period of time. The performance is based on both realized and unrealized gains and losses. Some performance fee calculations include a high-water mark, which keeps track of the highest level of performance on which a performance fee has been paid and which must be exceeded in order for an additional performance fee to be assessed. For more detailed information on how performance fees are calculated, please see the applicable private placement memorandum or investment management agreement.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

***Side-by-Side Management***. "Side-by-side management" refers to a Portfolio Manager's simultaneous management of multiple types of client accounts/investment products. For example, the Portfolio Managers manage separate accounts, managed accounts/wrap-fee programs, and pooled investment vehicles for clients at the same time. The Portfolio Managers' clients have a variety of investment objectives, policies, strategies, limitations, and restrictions. Side-by-side management gives rise to a variety of potential and actual conflicts of interest for the Portfolio Managers. Below is a discussion of the conflicts that the Portfolio Managers face when engaging in side-by-side management and how they deal with them. Note that certain of the Sub-Adviser's employees may also serve as officers or employees of one or more of the Sub-Adviser's affiliates ("dual officers"). These dual officers undertake investment management duties for the affiliates of which they are officers*.* When the Portfolio Managers concurrently manage client accounts/ investment products, and in particular when dual officers or dual employees are involved, this presents the same conflicts as described below. Note that Portfolio Managers manage their accounts consistent with applicable laws, and they follow procedures that are reasonably designed to treat clients fairly and to prevent any client or group of clients from being materially favored or disadvantaged.

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to Side-by-Side Management of Discretionary and Non-Discretionary Accounts***. In limited circumstances, Portfolio Managers may provide to a third party for which they provide non-discretionary advisory services the same model portfolio used to manage certain of the Portfolio Managers' clients' accounts. In those cases where Portfolio Managers are implementing the model results for only a portion of the assets affected (for example, only the assets over which Portfolio Managers have discretionary management authority) and therefore, they cannot apply their internal trade allocation procedures, Portfolio Managers will (i) use reasonable efforts to agree on procedures with such non-discretionary clients designed to prevent one group of clients from receiving preferential trading treatment over another group, or (ii) determine that, due to the nature of the assets to be traded or the market on which they are traded, no client would likely be adversely affected if such procedures are not established.

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to Performance-Based Fees When Engaging in Side-by-Side Management***. Portfolio Managers manage accounts that are charged a performance-based fee and other accounts that are charged a different type of fee, such as a flat asset-based fee. Portfolio Managers have a financial incentive to favor accounts with performance-based fees because they (and the Sub-Adviser's employees and supervised persons) may have an opportunity to earn greater fees on such accounts as compared to client accounts without performance-based fees. Thus, Portfolio Managers have an incentive to direct their best investment ideas to client accounts that pay performance-based fees, and to allocate, aggregate, or sequence trades in favor of such accounts. Portfolio Managers also have an incentive to give accounts with performance-based fees better execution and better brokerage commissions*.*

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to Accounts with Different Strategies***. Portfolio Managers manage numerous accounts with a variety of strategies, which may present conflicts of interest. For example, a long/short position in two client accounts simultaneously can result in a loss to one client based on a decision to take a gain in the other. Taking concurrent conflicting positions in certain derivative instruments can likewise cause a loss to one client and a gain to another. Portfolio Managers may also face conflicts of interest when they have uncovered option strategies and significant positions in illiquid investments in side-by-side accounts.

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to the Management of Multiple Client Accounts***. Portfolio Managers perform investment advisory services for various clients. Portfolio Managers may give advice and take action in the performance of their duties with respect to any of their other clients which may differ from the advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken, with respect to another client. Portfolio Managers have no obligation to purchase or sell for a client any security or other property which they purchase or sell for their own account or for the account of any other client if they believe it is undesirable or impractical to take such action. Portfolio Managers may give advice or take action in the performance of their duties with respect to any of their clients which may differ from the advice given, or the timing or nature of action taken, by their affiliates on behalf of their clients.

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to Investment in Affiliated Accounts***. To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Portfolio Managers may decide to invest some or all of their temporary investments in money market or similar accounts advised or managed by a Sub-Adviser affiliate. In addition, the Portfolio Managers may invest client accounts in affiliated pooled vehicles. The Portfolio Managers have an incentive to allocate investments to these types of affiliated accounts in order to generate additional fees for themselves or their affiliates. In certain instances, Portfolio Managers may enter into revenue sharing arrangements with affiliates where they may receive a portion of the fee, or bill the full fee to the client and reimburse the affiliate. Portfolio Managers may also enter into wholesale arrangements with affiliates where they receive only a portion of the client fee. For certain accounts with affiliates, some of the fees, such as custody fees, may be waived or rebated.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to the Discretion to Redeem from and Invest in Pooled Investment Vehicles***. The Portfolio Managers' clients may give them discretion to allocate client assets to, and/or redeem client assets from, certain pooled investment vehicles they manage or sub-advise. Sometimes, such discretionary authority is restricted by asset allocation parameters which may limit a Portfolio Manager's discretion to allocate to a percentage range of the value of a client's account. When a client grants a Portfolio Manager that discretion, a conflict could arise with respect to such client, and also with respect to other investors in such pooled investment vehicle. The Portfolio Managers may, for example, have an incentive to maintain a larger percentage of a client's assets in a fund in order for such assets to act as seed capital, to increase the fund's assets under management and thus, to make investment by other investors more attractive, or to maintain the continuity of a performance record if the client is the sole remaining investor. Likewise, as the manager or sub-adviser, they will have information that investors will not have about the investments held by a fund and about other investors' intentions to invest or redeem. Such information could potentially be used to favor one investor over another.

***Conflicts of Interest Relating to "Proprietary Accounts."*** The Portfolio Managers and the Sub-Adviser's existing and future employees may from time to time invest in products managed by the Sub-Adviser and they or related persons may establish "seeded" funds or accounts for the purpose of developing new investment strategies and products (collectively, "Proprietary Accounts"). Investments by the Sub-Adviser or its employees in Proprietary Accounts that invest in the same securities as other client accounts may create conflicts of interest. Portfolio Managers have an incentive to favor these Proprietary Accounts by directing their best investment ideas to these accounts or allocating, aggregating, or sequencing trades in favor of such accounts, to the disadvantage of other accounts. Portfolio Managers also have an incentive to dedicate more time and attention to their Proprietary Accounts and to give them better execution and brokerage commissions than their other client accounts. The Portfolio Managers may also waive fees for Proprietary Accounts or for certain affiliated persons who invest in such Proprietary Accounts.

***Valuations***. A majority of the Sub-Adviser's fees are based on the valuations provided by clients' custodians or pooled accounts' administrators. However, a conflict of interest may arise in overseeing the valuation of investments in the limited situations where the Sub-Adviser is involved in the determination of the valuation of an investment. In such circumstances, the Sub-Adviser requires, to the extent possible, pricing from an independent third-party pricing vendor. If vendor pricing is unavailable, the Sub-Adviser then looks to other observable inputs for the valuations. In the event that a vendor price or other observable inputs are unavailable or deemed unreliable, the Sub-Adviser has established a Securities Pricing Committee to make a reasonable determination of a security's fair value.

***Other Conflicts of Interest***. As noted previously, Portfolio Managers manage numerous accounts with a variety of interests. This necessarily creates potential conflicts of interest for the Portfolio Managers. For example, Portfolio Managers may cause multiple accounts to invest in the same investment. Such accounts may have conflicting interests and objectives in connection with such investment, including differing views on the operations or activities of the portfolio company, the targeted returns for the transaction, and the timeframe for and method of exiting the investment. Conflicts may also arise in cases where multiple Sub-Adviser and/or affiliate client accounts are invested in different parts of an issuer's capital structure. For example, one of the Portfolio Manager's client accounts could acquire debt obligations of a company while an affiliate's client account acquires an equity investment. In negotiating the terms and conditions of any such investments, Portfolio Managers may find that the interests of the debt-holding client accounts and the equity-holding client accounts may conflict. If that issuer encounters financial problems, decisions over the terms of the workout could raise conflicts of interest (including, for example, conflicts over proposed waivers and amendments to debt covenants). For example, debt holding accounts may be better served by a liquidation of an issuer in which it could be paid in full, while equity holding accounts might prefer a reorganization of the issuer that would have the potential to retain value for the equity holders. As another example, holders of an issuer's senior securities may be able to act to direct cash flows away from junior security holders, and both the junior and senior security holders may be the Sub-Adviser's client accounts. Any of the foregoing conflicts of interest will be discussed and resolved on a case-by-case basis. Any such discussions will factor in the interests of the relevant parties and applicable laws.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

***Addressing Conflicts of Interest***. Portfolio Managers have a fiduciary duty to manage all client accounts in a fair and equitable manner. To accomplish this, the Sub-Adviser has adopted various policies and procedures (including some or all of the following policies: trading operations, best execution, trade order aggregation and allocation, short sales, cross-trading, code of conduct, personal securities trading, and purchases of securities from affiliated underwriters). These procedures are intended to help employees identify and mitigate potential side-by-side conflicts of interest such as those described above. The Sub-Adviser has also developed a conflicts matrix listing potential side-by-side conflicts, the compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate such potential conflicts of interest and the corresponding compliance testing program established with the goal of confirming the Sub-Adviser's adherence to such policies and procedures.

***Codes of Ethics***. The Trust and the Advisers have each adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, where applicable. Each Code of Ethics permits personnel subject to that Code of Ethics to invest in securities for their personal investment accounts, subject to certain limitations, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. Each Code of Ethics is on public file with, and is available from, the EDGAR Database on the SEC's internet site at http://www.sec.gov, and copies of these codes of ethics may be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following email address: publicinfo@sec.gov. The Distributor relies on the principal underwriters exception under Rule 17j-1(c)(3), specifically where the Distributor is not affiliated with the Trust or the Advisers, and no officer, director, or general partner of the Distributor serves as an officer, director, or general partner of the Trust or the Advisers.

***Administrator, Custodian, Transfer Agent, and Securities Lending Agent***. BNY serves as administrator, custodian, transfer agent, and securities lending agent for the Fund. BNY's principal address is 240 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10286. Pursuant to the Fund Administration and Accounting Agreement between the Trust and BNY, BNY provides certain administrative, valuation, tax, financial reporting, and other related services for the maintenance and operations of the Trust and the Fund. Pursuant to the Custody Agreement between the Trust and BNY, BNY serves as the primary custodian for the Fund's assets, including assets held outside the United States, and provides certain other fund accounting and related services. BNY is required, upon the instruction of the Fund, to deliver securities held by BNY and to make payments for securities purchased by the Fund. Pursuant to a Foreign Custody Manager Agreement, BNY is authorized to appoint certain foreign custodians and foreign custody managers for Fund investments held outside the United States.

Pursuant to the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement with the Trust, BNY serves as transfer agent for the authorized and issued shares of beneficial interest for the Fund, and as dividend disbursing agent of the Trust. As compensation for the foregoing services, BNY receives certain out-of-pocket costs, transaction fees, and asset-based fees which are accrued daily and paid monthly.

BNY also serves as the Fund's securities lending agent pursuant to the securities lending agreement described below. As compensation for providing securities lending services, BNY receives a portion of the revenue generated from the Fund's securities lending activities. With respect to the foregoing agreements, the Trust has agreed to a limitation of liability for BNY and/or to indemnify BNY for certain liabilities.

***Securities Lending Activities.*** BNY serves as securities lending agent to the Trust. As securities lending agent, BNY is responsible for the implementation and administration of the securities lending program pursuant to the Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement"). BNY acts as agent to the Trust to lend available securities with any person on its list of approved borrowers, including BNY and any affiliate thereof. BNY determines whether a loan shall be made and negotiates and establishes the terms and conditions of the loan with the borrower. BNY ensures that all substitute interest, dividends, and other distributions paid with respect to loan securities is credited to the Fund's account on the date such amounts are delivered by the borrower to BNY. BNY receives and holds, on the Fund's behalf, collateral from borrowers to secure obligations of borrowers with respect to any loan of available securities. BNY marks loaned securities and collateral to their market value each business day based upon the market value of the collateral and loaned securities at the close of business employing the most recently available pricing information and receives and delivers collateral to maintain the value of the collateral at no less than 100% of the market value (plus accrued interest) of the loaned securities. At the termination of the loan, BNY returns the collateral to the borrower upon the return of the loaned securities to BNY. BNY invests cash collateral in accordance with the Securities Lending Agreement. BNY maintains such records as are reasonably necessary to account for loans that are made and the income derived therefrom and makes available to the Fund a monthly statement describing the loans made, and the income derived from the loans, during the period. BNY performs compliance monitoring and testing of the securities lending program.

***Distributor***. Foreside Fund Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC (d/b/a ACA Group), serves as Distributor for the Trust and its principal address is 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, Maine 04101. The Distributor has entered into a Distribution Agreement with the Trust pursuant to which it distributes shares of the Fund.

Shares are continuously offered for sale by the Fund through the Distributor only in Creation Unit Aggregations, as described in the Prospectus and below in the Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations section. Shares in less than Creation Unit Aggregations are not distributed by the Distributor. The Distributor will deliver the Prospectus and, upon request, this SAI to persons purchasing Creation Unit Aggregations and will maintain records of both orders placed with it and confirmations of acceptance furnished by it. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"). The Distributor is not affiliated with WisdomTree, WisdomTree Asset Management, or any stock exchange.

The Distributor may also enter into agreements with securities dealers who will solicit purchases of Creation Unit Aggregations of shares. Such securities dealers may also be Authorized Participants (as defined below) or DTC Participants (as defined below).

The Distribution Agreement, with respect to the Fund, continues from year to year provided such continuance is approved annually (i) by vote of the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The Distribution Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, as to the Fund, (i) by vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or (ii) by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund, or by the Distributor, on at least sixty (60) days prior notice. The Distribution Agreement will terminate automatically without the payment of any penalty in the event of its "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act).

***Counsel.*** Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, with offices located at 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20004, serves as legal counsel to the Trust.

***Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.*** Ernst & Young LLP, with offices located at 1 Manhattan West, 395 9th Avenue, New York, New York 10001, serves as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Trust.

***Intermediary Compensation***. WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates, out of their own resources and not out of Fund assets (*i.e.*, without additional cost to the Fund or its shareholders), may pay or otherwise assist certain broker-dealers, registered investment advisers, banks, other financial intermediaries and platforms ("Intermediaries") for certain activities and/or services related to the Fund, other WisdomTree Funds and/or model portfolios that include WisdomTree Funds, including for making WisdomTree Funds available such as without a commission or transaction fee (or to otherwise offset such commissions or fees), for participation in activities that are designed to make Intermediaries and investors more knowledgeable about exchange-traded products, including the Fund, for other activities, such as marketing and educational training or support (such as through conferences, webinars, and printed communications), for data, for platform development and/or access, for technology support, for co-marketing and cross-promotional efforts, or to otherwise facilitate education, relationships and/or investment. Payments made pursuant to such arrangements are expected to vary in any year, can be different for different Intermediaries and third parties, and can be subject to certain minimum payment levels. Any such payments or other consideration are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fees and expenses sections of the Fund's Prospectus and they do not change the price paid by investors for the purchase of the Fund's shares or the amount received by a shareholder as proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares. Information regarding certain Intermediaries receiving such payments can be found by visiting www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

WisdomTree Asset Management periodically assesses the advisability of continuing to make these payments. Payments to an Intermediary may be significant to the Intermediary, and amounts that Intermediaries pay to your adviser, broker, or other investment professional, if any, may also be significant to such adviser, broker, or investment professional. Because an Intermediary may make decisions about what investment options it will make available or recommend, and what services to provide in connection with various products, based on payments it receives or is eligible to receive, such payments create conflicts of interest between the Intermediary and its clients. For example, these financial incentives may cause the Intermediary to recommend the Fund over other investments. The same conflict of interest exists with respect to your financial adviser, broker, or investment professionals if he or she receives similar payments from his or her Intermediary firm.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates intend to engage with, and make payments to, other Intermediaries and third parties in the future. Please contact your adviser, broker, other investment professional, or other type of Intermediary and ask whether they have any such arrangements with WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates and/or to receive more information regarding any payments such firm may receive. Any payments made by WisdomTree Asset Management or its affiliates to an Intermediary may create the incentive for an Intermediary to encourage customers to buy shares of WisdomTree Funds.

If you have any additional questions, please call 1-866-909-9473.

**BROKERAGE TRANSACTIONS**

The Sub-Adviser assumes general supervision over placing orders on behalf of the Fund for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities. In selecting the brokers or dealers for any transaction in portfolio securities, the Sub-Adviser's policy is to make such selection based on factors deemed relevant, including but not limited to, the breadth of the market in the security; the price of the security; the reasonableness of the commission or mark-up or mark-down, if any; execution capability; settlement capability; back office efficiency; and the financial condition of the broker or dealer, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions paid is evaluated by the Sub-Adviser based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by other institutional investors for comparable services. Brokers may also be selected because of their ability to handle special or difficult executions, such as being involved in large block trades, less liquid or foreign securities, broad distributions, or other circumstances. The Sub-Adviser does not consider the provision or value of research, products, or services a broker or dealer may provide, if any, as a factor in the selection of a broker or dealer or the determination of the reasonableness of commissions paid in connection with portfolio transactions. The Trust has adopted policies and procedures that prohibit the consideration of sales of the Fund's shares as a factor in the selection of a broker or a dealer to execute its portfolio transactions. To the extent creation or redemption transactions are conducted on a cash or "cash in lieu" basis, the Fund may contemporaneously transact with broker-dealers for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities in connection with such transactions (see "Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations" herein). Such orders may be placed with an Authorized Participant in its capacity as broker-dealer or with an affiliated broker-dealer of such Authorized Participant.

**Brokerage Commissions** 

The Fund is new and, therefore, did not pay any brokerage commissions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

**Affiliated Brokers** 

The Fund is new and, therefore, did not pay any commissions to any affiliated brokers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

**Regular Broker-Dealers** 

The Fund is new and, therefore, did not acquire securities of its regular brokers or dealers (as defined in the 1940 Act) or of their parents during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

**Portfolio Turnover** 

The portfolio turnover rate for the Fund (when available) is disclosed in the Fund's Prospectus. Portfolio turnover may vary from year to year, as well as within a year. High turnover rates are likely to result in comparatively greater brokerage expenses and may result in a substantial amount of distributions from the Fund to be taxed as ordinary income which may limit the tax efficiency of the Fund. The overall reasonableness of brokerage commissions is evaluated by the Sub-Adviser based upon its knowledge of available information as to the general level of commissions paid by the other institutional investors for comparable services.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund is new and, therefore, did not have a portfolio turnover rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUST**

***Shares.*** The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust on December 15, 2005, and consists of multiple series or "funds." The Fund issues shares of beneficial interest, with $0.001 par value. The Board may establish additional funds. The Trust is registered with the SEC as an open-end management investment company.

Each share issued by the Fund has a pro rata interest in the assets of the Fund. Shares have no preemptive, exchange, subscription, or conversion rights, and are freely transferable. Each share is entitled to participate equally in dividends and distributions declared by the Board with respect to the Fund, and in the net distributable assets of the Fund on liquidation.

Each share has one vote with respect to matters upon which a shareholder vote is required consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Shares of all funds within the Trust vote together as a single class except that if the matter being voted on affects only a particular fund or if a matter affects a particular fund differently from other funds, that fund will vote separately on such matter.

Under Delaware law, the Trust is not required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless required to do so under the 1940 Act. The policy of the Trust is not to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless required to do so under the 1940 Act. All shares (regardless of the fund) have non-cumulative voting rights for the Board. Under Delaware law, Trustees of the Trust may be removed by vote of the shareholders.

Following the creation of the initial Creation Unit Aggregation(s) of shares of the Fund and immediately prior to the commencement of trading in the Fund's shares, a holder of shares may be a "control person" of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act. The Fund cannot accurately predict the length of time for which one or more shareholders may remain a control person or persons of the Fund.

Shareholders may make inquiries by writing to the Trust, c/o Foreside Fund Services, LLC, 190 Middle Street, Suite 301, Portland, Maine 04101.

Absent an applicable exemption or other relief from the SEC or its staff, beneficial owners of more than 5% of the shares of the Fund may be subject to the reporting provisions of Section 13 of the Exchange Act and the SEC's rules promulgated thereunder. In addition, absent an applicable exemption or other relief from the SEC staff, officers and Trustees of the Fund and beneficial owners of 10% of the shares of the Fund ("Insiders") may be subject to the insider reporting, short-swing profit, and short-sale provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the SEC's rules promulgated thereunder. Beneficial owners and Insiders should consult with their own legal counsel concerning their obligations under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act.

***Termination of the Trust or the Fund.*** The Trust or the Fund may be terminated by a majority vote of the Board or the affirmative vote of a super-majority of the holders of the Trust or the Fund entitled to vote on termination. Although the shares are not automatically redeemable upon the occurrence of any specific event, the Trust's organizational documents provide that the Board will have the unrestricted power to alter the number of shares in a Creation Unit Aggregation. In the event of a termination of the Trust or the Fund, the Board, in its sole discretion, could determine to permit the shares to be redeemable in aggregations smaller than Creation Unit Aggregations or to be individually redeemable. In such circumstances, the Trust may make redemptions in-kind, for cash, or for a combination of cash and securities.

***Role of the Depositary Trust Company ("DTC").*** DTC acts as securities depository for the shares of the Trust. Shares of the Fund are represented by securities registered in the name of DTC or its nominee and deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

DTC, a limited-purpose trust company, was created to hold securities of its participants ("DTC Participants") and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among the DTC Participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the DTC Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities' certificates. DTC Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations, some of which (and/or their representatives) own DTC. More specifically, DTC is owned by a number of DTC Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and FINRA. Access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants").

Beneficial ownership of shares is limited to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants, and persons holding interests through DTC Participants and Indirect Participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in shares (owners of such beneficial interests are referred to herein as "Beneficial Owners") is shown on, and the transfer of ownership is effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to DTC Participants) and on the records of DTC Participants (with respect to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners that are not DTC Participants). Beneficial Owners will receive from or through the DTC Participant a written confirmation relating to their purchase of shares. No Beneficial Owner shall have the right to receive a certificate representing such shares.

Conveyance of all notices, statements and other communications to Beneficial Owners is effected as follows. Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement between the Trust and DTC, DTC is required to make available to the Trust upon request and for a fee to be charged to the Trust a listing of the shares of the Fund held by each DTC Participant. The Trust shall inquire of each such DTC Participant as to the number of Beneficial Owners holding shares, directly or indirectly, through such DTC Participant. The Trust shall provide each such DTC Participant with copies of such notice, statement, or other communication, in such form and number and at such place as such DTC Participant may reasonably request, in order that such notice, statement, or communication may be transmitted by such DTC Participant, directly or indirectly, to such Beneficial Owners. In addition, the Trust shall pay to each such DTC Participant a fair and reasonable amount as reimbursement for the expenses attendant to such transmittal, all subject to applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The foregoing processes may be conducted by the Trust via a third party.

Share distributions shall be made to DTC or its nominee, Cede & Co., as the registered holder of all shares of the Trust. DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any such distributions, shall immediately credit DTC Participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in shares of the Fund as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. Payments by DTC Participants to Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners of shares held through such DTC Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in a "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participants.

The Trust has no responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or notices to Beneficial Owners, or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in such shares, or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and the DTC Participants or the relationship between such DTC Participants and the Indirect Participants and Beneficial Owners owning through such DTC Participants. DTC may decide to discontinue its service with respect to shares of the Trust at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Trust and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. Under such circumstances, the Trust shall take action to find a replacement for DTC to perform its functions at a comparable cost.

**CREATION AND REDEMPTION OF CREATION UNIT AGGREGATIONS**

***Creation****.* The Trust issues and sells shares of the Fund only in Creation Unit Aggregations on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without a sales load, at the NAV next determined after receipt, on any Business Day, of an order in proper form.

***Fund Deposit*.** The consideration for purchase of Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a portfolio of securities (the "Deposit Securities") and/or an amount of cash denominated in U.S. dollars (the "Cash Component") computed as described below. Together, the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component constitute the "Fund Deposit," which represents the minimum initial and subsequent investment amount for a Creation Unit Aggregation of the Fund.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund or the Advisers may permit or require the submission of a basket of securities and other instruments, or cash denominated in U.S. dollars that differs from the composition of the published basket(s). The Fund or the Advisers may permit or require the consideration for Creation Unit Aggregations to consist solely of cash. The Fund or the Advisers reserve the right to permit or require the substitution of an amount of cash denominated in U.S. dollars (*i.e.*, a "cash in lieu" amount) to be added, at its discretion, to the Cash Component to replace any Deposit Security. For example, cash may be substituted to replace any Deposit Security that may not be available in sufficient quantity for delivery or that may not be eligible for transfer through the systems of DTC or the Clearing Process (discussed below). The Trust or the Advisers reserve the right to permit or require a "cash in lieu" amount where the delivery of the Deposit Security by the Authorized Participant (as described below) would be prohibited or restricted under applicable securities laws, or in certain other situations at the sole discretion of the Trust.

The portion of the Cash Component that does not serve to replace a Deposit Security is sometimes also referred to as the "Balancing Amount." The Balancing Amount is an amount equal to the difference between the NAV of the shares (per Creation Unit Aggregation) and the value of Deposit Securities. If the Balancing Amount is a positive number, the Authorized Participant will deliver the Balancing Amount. If the Balancing Amount is a negative number, the Authorized Participant will receive the Balancing Amount. The Balancing Amount does not include any stamp duty tax or other similar fees and expenses payable upon transfer of beneficial ownership of the Deposit Securities. These are the sole responsibility of the Authorized Participant.

The Fund, through the NSCC, makes available on each Business Day, immediately prior to the opening of business on the Listing Exchange (currently 9:30 a.m., Eastern time), the list of the names and the required number of shares of each Deposit Security and/or applicable Cash Component that may be included in the current Fund Deposit (based on information at the end of the previous Business Day) for the Fund.

Such Deposit Securities are applicable, subject to any adjustments as described herein, in order to effect creations of Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund until such time as the next or otherwise announced composition of the Deposit Securities is made available.

The identity and number of shares of the Deposit Securities required for a Fund Deposit for the Fund changes from time to time based on changes to the Index and various factors.

***Procedures for Creation of Creation Unit Aggregations.*** To be eligible to place orders with the Distributor and to create a Creation Unit Aggregation of the Fund, an entity must be a (i) "Participating Party," *i.e.*, a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the NSCC (the "Clearing Process"), a clearing agency that is registered with the SEC; or (ii) DTC Participant. In each case, such entity also must have executed an agreement with the Distributor with respect to creations and redemptions of Creation Unit Aggregations (a "Participant Agreement"). A Participating Party or DTC Participant that has entered a Participant Agreement is referred to as an "Authorized Participant." Investors should contact the Distributor for the names of Authorized Participants that have signed a Participant Agreement. All shares of the Fund, however created, will be entered on the records of DTC in the name of Cede & Co. for the account of a DTC Participant.

All orders to create shares must be placed for one or more Creation Unit Aggregations. All orders to create Creation Unit Aggregations must be received by the Distributor by the designated closing time, which is no later than the closing time of the regular trading session on the Listing Exchange ("Closing Time") (ordinarily 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on the date such orders are placed in order to receive that day's NAV. All orders must be received in proper form. The date on which an order to create Creation Unit Aggregations is placed is referred to as the "Transmittal Date." Orders must be transmitted by an Authorized Participant by telephone, online portal, or other transmission method acceptable to BNY and the Distributor pursuant to procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement, as described below, which procedures may change from time to time without notice at the discretion of the Trust. Economic or market disruptions or changes, or telephone or other communication failure, may impede the ability to reach BNY and the Distributor or an Authorized Participant. On days when the Listing Exchange or U.S. or non-U.S. markets close earlier than normal, the Fund may require purchase orders to be placed earlier in the day. All questions as to the number of Deposit Securities and/or Cash Component to be delivered, and the validity, form, and eligibility (including time of receipt) for the deposit of any tendered securities, will be determined by the Trust or Advisers, whose determination shall be final and binding.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

All orders to create Creation Unit Aggregations through an Authorized Participant shall be placed with an Authorized Participant, in the form required by such Authorized Participant. In addition, the Authorized Participant may require an investor to make certain representations or enter into agreements with respect to the order, *e.g.*, to provide for payments of cash, when required. Investors should be aware that their particular broker may not have executed a Participant Agreement and, in that case, orders to create Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund have to be placed by each investor's broker through an Authorized Participant that has executed a Participant Agreement. In such cases, there may be additional charges to such investor. At any given time, there may be only a limited number of broker-dealers that have executed a Participant Agreement and only a small number of such Authorized Participants may have international capabilities.

Those placing orders for Creation Unit Aggregations through the Clearing Process should afford sufficient time to permit proper submission of the order to the Distributor prior to the Closing Time on the Transmittal Date. Orders for Creation Unit Aggregations that are effected outside the Clearing Process are likely to require transmittal by the DTC Participant earlier on the Transmittal Date than orders effected using the Clearing Process. Those persons placing orders outside the Clearing Process should ascertain the deadlines applicable to DTC and the Federal Reserve Bank wire system by contacting the operations department of the broker or depository institution effectuating such transfer of Deposit Securities and the Cash Component.

***Placement of Creation Orders Using the Clearing Process.*** Fund Deposits made through the Clearing Process must be delivered through a Participating Party that has executed a Participant Agreement. The Participant Agreement authorizes the Distributor or BNY to transmit through BNY to NSCC, on behalf of the Participating Party, such trade instructions as are necessary to effect the Participating Party's creation order. Pursuant to such trade instructions to NSCC, the Participating Party agrees to deliver the requisite Deposit Securities and the Cash Component to the Trust, together with such additional information as may be required by the Distributor. An order to create Creation Unit Aggregations through the Clearing Process is deemed received by the Distributor on the Transmittal Date if: (i) such order is received by the Distributor not later than the Closing Time on such Transmittal Date; and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed.

***Placement of Creation Orders Outside the Clearing Process.*** Fund Deposits made outside the Clearing Process must be delivered through a DTC Participant that has executed a Participant Agreement. A DTC Participant who wishes to place an order creating Creation Unit Aggregations to be effected outside the Clearing Process does not need to be a Participating Party, but such orders must state that the DTC Participant is not using the Clearing Process and that the creation of Creation Unit Aggregations will instead be effected through a transfer of securities and cash directly through DTC. The Fund Deposit transfer must be ordered by the DTC Participant on the Transmittal Date in a timely fashion so as to ensure the delivery of the requisite number of Deposit Securities through DTC to the account of the Fund by no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the "Settlement Date." The Settlement Date is typically the first Business Day following the Transmittal Date. The Fund reserves the right to settle transactions on a basis other than "T" plus one Business Day (*i.e.*, days on which the NYSE is open) ("T+1"). In certain cases, Authorized Participants will create and redeem Creation Unit Aggregations of the same Fund on the same trade date. In these instances, the Trust reserves the right to settle these transactions on a net basis.

On days when the Listing Exchange or U.S. markets close earlier than normal, the Fund may require purchase orders to be placed earlier in the day. All questions as to the number of Deposit Securities and/or Cash Component to be delivered, and the validity, form, and eligibility (including time of receipt) for the deposit of any tendered securities, will be determined by the Trust or the Advisers, whose determination shall be final and binding. The amount of cash equal to the Cash Component must be transferred directly to BNY through the Federal Reserve Bank wire transfer system in a timely manner so as to be received by BNY no later than 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Settlement Date. An order to create Creation Unit Aggregations outside the Clearing Process is deemed received by the Distributor on the Transmittal Date if: (i) such order is received by the Distributor not later than the Closing Time on such Transmittal Date; and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed. However, if BNY does not receive both the required Deposit Securities and the Cash Component by the specified time on the Settlement Date, the Trust may cancel or revoke acceptance of such order. Upon written notice to the Distributor, such canceled or revoked order may be resubmitted the following Business Day using a Fund Deposit as newly constituted to reflect the then-current NAV of the Fund. The delivery of Creation Unit Aggregations so created generally will occur no later than the Settlement Date.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Creation Unit Aggregations may be created in advance of receipt by the Trust of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities as described below. In these circumstances, the initial deposit will have a value greater than the NAV of the shares on the date the order is placed in proper form since, in addition to available Deposit Securities, U.S. cash must be deposited in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Component, plus (ii) generally between 102%-110%, as directed by the Trust or Advisers, which the Trust or Advisers may change from time to time, of the market value of the undelivered Deposit Securities (the "Additional Cash Deposit") with the Fund pending delivery of any missing Deposit Securities.

If an Authorized Participant determines to post an Additional Cash Deposit as collateral for any undelivered Deposit Securities, the Authorized Participant must deposit with BNY the appropriate amount of federal funds by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time (or such other time as specified by the Trust), on the Settlement Date. If the Authorized Participant does not place its purchase order by the closing time or BNY does not receive federal funds in the appropriate amount by such time, then the order may be deemed to be rejected and the Authorized Participant shall be liable to the Fund for losses, if any, resulting therefrom. An additional amount of cash shall be required to be deposited with BNY, pending delivery of the missing Deposit Securities to the extent necessary to maintain the Additional Cash Deposit with the Trust in an amount generally between 102%-110%, as directed by the Trust or the Advisers, which the Trust or the Advisers may change from time to time, of the daily marked-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities. To the extent that missing Deposit Securities are not received by the specified time on the Settlement Date, or in the event a marked-to-market payment is not made within one Business Day following notification by the Distributor that such a payment is required, the Trust may use the Additional Cash Deposit to purchase the missing Deposit Securities. The Trust also requires delivery of Deposit Securities and/or an Additional Cash Deposit prior to settlement date by the Authorized Participant in relation to certain international markets.

The Authorized Participant will be liable to the Trust for the costs incurred by the Trust in connection with any such purchases. These costs will be deemed to include the amount by which the actual purchase price of the Deposit Securities exceeds the market value of such Deposit Securities on the Transmittal Date plus the brokerage and related transaction costs associated with such purchases. The Trust will return any unused portion of the Additional Cash Deposit once all of the missing Deposit Securities have been properly received by BNY or purchased by the Trust and deposited into the Trust. In addition, a Transaction Fee, as listed below, will be charged in all cases. The delivery of Creation Unit Aggregations so created generally will occur no later than the Settlement Date. In no event will an Authorized Participant receive or be entitled to interest or other consideration associated with or in relation to the Additional Cash Deposit.

***Cash Purchases.*** When, in the sole discretion of the Trust or the Advisers, cash purchases of Creation Unit Aggregations of shares are available or specified for the Fund, such purchases shall be effected in essentially the same manner as in-kind purchases thereof. In the case of a cash purchase, the Authorized Participant must pay the cash equivalent of the Deposit Securities it would otherwise be required to provide through an in-kind purchase, plus the same Cash Component required to be paid by an in-kind purchaser. In addition, to offset brokerage and other costs associated with using cash to purchase the requisite Deposit Securities, the Authorized Participant must pay the Transaction Fees required by the Fund. If the Authorized Participant acts as a broker for the Fund in connection with the purchase of Deposit Securities, the Authorized Participant will also be required to pay certain brokerage commissions, taxes, and transaction and market impact costs as discussed under the heading "Brokerage Transactions" herein.

***Acceptance of Orders for Creation Unit Aggregations.*** The Trust reserves the right to reject an order for Creation Unit Aggregations in respect of the Fund at its discretion, including, without limitation, if (a) the order is not in proper form or a Fund Deposit delivered does not consist of the securities that the Custodian specified; (b) the investor(s), upon obtaining the Shares ordered, would own 80% or more of the currently outstanding Shares of the Fund; (c) the Deposit Securities or Deposit Cash, as applicable delivered are not as disseminated through the facilities of the NSCC for that date by the Custodian, as described above; (d) the acceptance of a Fund Deposit would, in the opinion of counsel, be unlawful; (e) the acceptance or receipt of the order for a Creation Unit Aggregation would, in the opinion of counsel to the Trust, be unlawful; or (f) in the event that circumstances outside the control of the Trust, the Custodian, the Transfer Agent, the Distributor, and/or the Adviser make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process orders for Creation Unit Aggregations. Examples of such circumstances include acts of God or public service or utility problems such as fires, floods, extreme weather conditions, and power outages resulting in telephone, telecopy and computer failures; market conditions or activities causing trading halts; systems failures involving computer or other information systems affecting the Trust, the Custodian, the Transfer Agent, the Adviser, the Distributor, DTC, NSCC, Federal Reserve System, or any other participant in the creation process; and similar extraordinary events. The Distributor shall communicate to the Authorized Participant its rejection of the order. The Trust, the Transfer Agent, the Custodian, and the Distributor are under no duty, however, to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the delivery of Fund Deposits nor shall either of them incur any liability for the failure to give any such notification. The Trust, the Transfer Agent, the Custodian, and the Distributor shall not be liable for the rejection of any purchase order for Creation Unit Aggregations. Given the importance of the ongoing issuance of Creation Unit Aggregations to maintaining a market price that is at or close to the underlying NAV of the Fund, the Trust does not intend to suspend acceptance of orders for Creation Unit Aggregations.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

All questions as to the number of shares of each security in the Deposit Securities and the validity, form, eligibility, and acceptance for deposit of any securities to be delivered shall be determined by the Trust, and the Trust's determination shall be final and binding.

***Creation/Redemption Transaction Fee.*** The Fund imposes a "Transaction Fee" or "CU Fee" on Authorized Participants purchasing or redeeming Creation Unit Aggregations. The purpose of the Transaction Fee is to protect the existing shareholders of the Fund from the dilutive costs associated with the purchase and redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations. Where the Fund permits cash creations (or redemptions) or cash in lieu of depositing one or more Deposit Securities, the purchaser (or redeemer) may be assessed a higher Transaction Fee to offset the transaction cost to the Fund of buying (or selling) those particular Deposit Securities. Transaction Fees for the Fund will differ from Transaction Fees for other WisdomTree Funds, depending on the transaction expenses related to the Fund's portfolio securities, and will be limited to amounts that have been determined by WisdomTree Asset Management to be appropriate. The maximum Transaction Fee, as set forth in the table below for the Fund, may be charged in cases where the Fund permits cash or cash in lieu of Deposit Securities. Authorized Participants purchasing or redeeming through the DTC process generally will pay a higher Transaction Fee than will Authorized Participants doing so through the NSCC process. Also, Authorized Participants who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services, in addition to the Transaction Fee imposed by the Fund.

The table below sets forth the standard and maximum creation and redemption Transaction Fees for the Fund. These fees may be changed by the Trust.

\* The Fund may charge, either in lieu of or in addition to the Transaction Fees, in the sole discretion of the Trust or as determined by the Adviser, a variable fee for creations and redemptions in order to cover certain brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact, and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transaction, up to any applicable legal limits. The Adviser may pay out of its own resources and not out of Fund assets, such Transaction Fees or variable fees from time to time in its sole discretion. Any such fees and/or payments by the Adviser may impact bid/ask spreads.

***Placement of Redemption Orders Using the Clearing Process.*** Orders to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations through the Clearing Process must be delivered through a Participating Party that has executed the Participant Agreement. Except as described herein, an order to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations using the Clearing Process is deemed received by the Trust on the Transmittal Date if: (i) such order is received by BNY (in its capacity as Transfer Agent) not later than the Closing Time on such Transmittal Date, and (ii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed. Such order will be effected based on the NAV of the Fund as next determined. The consideration for redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations of the Fund generally consists of (i) a portfolio of securities (the "Fund Securities") and/or (ii) an amount of cash denominated in U.S. dollars (the "Cash Redemption Amount") as described below. The requisite Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount generally will be transferred by the first NSCC Business Day following the date on which such request for redemption is deemed received.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

***Placement of Redemption Orders Outside the Clearing Process.*** Orders to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations outside the Clearing Process must be delivered through a DTC Participant that has executed the Participant Agreement. An order to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations outside the Clearing Process is deemed received by the Trust on the Transmittal Date if: (i) such order is received by BNY (in its capacity as Transfer Agent) not later than the Closing Time on such Transmittal Date; (ii) such order is accompanied or followed by the requisite number of shares of the Fund specified in such order, which delivery must be made through DTC to BNY no later than instructed, which is typically one day after Transmittal Date (presuming T+1 settlement); and (iii) all other procedures set forth in the Participant Agreement are properly followed. After the Trust has deemed an order for redemption outside the Clearing Process received, the Trust will initiate procedures to transfer the requisite Fund Securities which are expected to be delivered within one Business Day and the Cash Redemption Amount to the Authorized Participant on behalf of the redeeming Beneficial Owner by the Settlement Date. In certain cases, Authorized Participants will redeem and create Creation Unit Aggregations of the same Fund on the same trade date. In these instances, the Trust reserves the right to settle these transactions on a net basis.

If the requisite number of shares of the Fund is not delivered as described above or an Additional Cash Deposit is not made, as applicable, in the sole discretion of the Trust or the Advisers, in no event will an Authorized Participant receive or be entitled to interest or other consideration associated with or in relation to the Additional Cash Deposit, the Fund may reject or revoke acceptance of the redemption request because the Authorized Participant has not satisfied all of the settlement requirements.

The current procedures for collateralization of missing shares require, among other things, that any Additional Cash Deposit shall be in the form of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds and shall be held by BNY and marked-to-market daily, and that the fees of BNY and any sub-custodians in respect of the delivery, maintenance and redelivery of the Additional Cash Deposit shall be payable by the Authorized Participant. The Authorized Participant's agreement will permit the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, to purchase the missing shares or acquire the Deposit Securities and the Cash Component underlying such shares at any time and will subject the Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost to the Trust of purchasing such shares, Deposit Securities or Cash Component and the value of the collateral.

The calculation of the value of the Fund Securities and the Cash Redemption Amount to be delivered upon redemption will be made by BNY according to the procedures set forth under "Determination of NAV" computed on the Business Day on which a redemption order is deemed received by the Trust.

The Fund or the Advisers may also, in their sole discretion, upon request of an Authorized Participant, provide such redeemer a portfolio of securities that differs from the exact composition of the Fund Securities but does not differ in NAV.

Redemptions of shares for Fund Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the Fund (whether or not it otherwise permits cash redemptions) reserves the right to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations for cash to the extent that the Trust could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the Fund Securities under such laws. An Authorized Participant or an investor for which it is acting subject to a legal restriction with respect to a particular security included in the Fund Securities applicable to the redemption of a Creation Unit Aggregation may be paid an equivalent amount of cash. The Authorized Participant may request the redeeming Beneficial Owner of the shares to complete an order form or to enter into agreements with respect to such matters as compensating cash payment.

Because the portfolio securities of the Fund may trade on the relevant exchange(s) on days that the Listing Exchange for the Fund is closed or that are otherwise not Business Days for the Fund, stockholders may not be able to redeem their shares of the Fund, or to purchase and sell shares of the Fund on the Listing Exchange for the Fund, on days when the NAV of the Fund could be significantly affected by events in the relevant foreign markets.

 ****

***Cash Redemptions.*** The Fund may pay out the proceeds of redemptions of Creation Unit Aggregations solely in cash or through any combination of cash, securities, or other instruments. In addition, an investor may request a redemption in cash that the Fund may, in its sole discretion, permit. In either case, the investor will receive a cash payment equal to the NAV of its shares based on the NAV of shares of the Fund next determined after the redemption request is received in proper form (minus a redemption transaction fee and additional charge for requested cash redemptions specified above, to offset the Trust's brokerage and other transaction costs associated with the disposition of Fund Securities). Proceeds will be paid to the Authorized Participant redeeming shares on behalf of the redeeming investor as soon as practicable after the date of redemption. If the Authorized Participant acts as a broker for the Fund in connection with the sale of Fund Securities, the Authorized Participant will also be required to pay certain brokerage commissions, taxes, and transaction and market impact costs as discussed under the heading "Brokerage Transactions" herein.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Redemptions of shares for Fund Securities will be subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the Fund (whether or not it otherwise permits cash redemptions) reserves the right to redeem Creation Unit Aggregations for cash to the extent that the Trust could not lawfully deliver specific Fund Securities upon redemptions or could not do so without first registering the Fund Securities under such laws.

***In-Kind Redemptions*.** The ability of the Trust to effect in-kind creations and redemptions is subject, among other things, to the condition that, within the time period from the date of the order to the date of delivery of the securities, there are no days that are holidays in the applicable market. For every occurrence of one or more intervening holidays in the applicable foreign market that are not holidays observed in the U.S. equity market, the redemption settlement cycle may be extended by the number of such intervening holidays. In addition to holidays, other unforeseeable market closings due to emergencies may also prevent the Trust from delivering securities within the normal settlement period. The Fund will not suspend or postpone redemption beyond seven days, except as permitted under Section 22(e) of the 1940 Act. Section 22(e) provides that the right of redemption may be suspended or the date of payment postponed with respect to the Fund (1) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday closings); (2) for any period during which trading on the NYSE is suspended or restricted; (3) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal of the shares of the Fund's portfolio securities or determination of its NAV is not reasonably practicable; or (4) in such other circumstance as is permitted by the SEC.

**REGULAR HOLIDAYS AND OTHER SETTLEMENT MATTERS** 

The Fund generally intends to effect deliveries of Creation Unit Aggregations and portfolio securities on a basis of T+1. The Fund may effect deliveries of Creation Unit Aggregations and portfolio securities on a basis other than T+1 in order to accommodate local holiday schedules, to account for different treatment among foreign and U.S. markets of security delivery practices and/or dividend record dates and ex-dividend dates, or under certain other circumstances. The ability of the Trust to effect in-kind creations and redemptions within one Business Day of receipt of an order in good form is subject, among other things, to the condition that, within the time period from the date of the order to the date of delivery of the securities, there are no days that are holidays in the applicable foreign market. For every occurrence of one or more intervening holidays in the applicable foreign market that are not holidays observed in the U.S. equity market, the redemption settlement cycle will be extended by the number of such intervening holidays. New or special holidays, treatment by market participants of certain days as "informal holidays" (*e.g.*, days on which no or limited securities transactions occur, as a result of substantially shortened trading hours), the elimination of existing holidays or changes in local securities delivery practices (including lengthening settlement cycles, which may also occur in connection with a security sale and its settlement, with limitations or delays in the settlement itself, and/or the convertibility or repatriation of the local proceeds associated therewith), could impede the Fund's ability to satisfy redemption requests in a timely manner. In addition, other unforeseeable closings or changes in a foreign market due to emergencies may also prevent the Trust from delivering redemption proceeds within the normal settlement period or in a timely manner.

The securities delivery cycles currently practicable for transferring portfolio securities to redeeming investors, coupled with foreign market holiday schedules, will require a delivery process longer than seven calendar days for some securities, in certain circumstances.

**TAXES** 

The following discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of investing in the Fund is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder ("Treasury Regulations"), and other applicable authority, all as in effect as of the date of the filing of this SAI. These authorities are subject to change by legislative or administrative action, possibly with retroactive effect. The following discussion is only a summary of some of the important U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investments in the Fund. There may be other tax considerations applicable to particular shareholders. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular situation and the possible application of foreign, state, and local tax laws.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

***Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company.*** The Fund intends to elect to be treated, and intends to qualify each year, as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded RICs and their shareholders, the Fund must, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) derive at least 90% of its gross income each year from (i) dividends, interest, payments with respect
 to certain securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including
 but not limited to gains from options, futures, or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock,
 securities, or currencies, and (ii) net income derived from interests in "qualified publicly traded partnerships" (as
 defined below) (the "90% Test");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the
 market value of the Fund's total assets consists of cash and cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other RICs and
 other securities, with investments in such other securities limited with respect to any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of
 the value of the Fund's total assets and not greater than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not
 more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets is invested, including through corporations in which the Fund owns a 20% or
 more voting stock interest, in (1) the securities (other than those of the U.S. government or other RICs) of any one issuer or two
 or more issuers that are controlled by the Fund and that are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses or (2) the
 securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) distribute with respect to each taxable year an amount equal to or greater than the sum of 90% of its investment
 company taxable income (as that term is defined in the Code without regard to the deduction for dividends paid – generally taxable
 ordinary income and the excess, if any, of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses) and 90% of its net tax-exempt
 interest income.

In general, for purposes of the 90% Test described in (a) above, income derived from a partnership will be treated as qualifying income only to the extent such income is attributable to items of income of the partnership that would be qualifying income if realized directly by the Fund. However, 100% of the net income derived from an interest in a "qualified publicly traded partnership" (generally, a partnership (i) interests in which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof and (ii) that derives less than 90% of its income from the qualifying income described in clause (a)(i) of the description of the 90% Test applicable to RICs, above) will be treated as qualifying income. To the extent the Fund makes investments that may generate income that is not qualifying income, including certain derivatives, the Fund will seek to restrict the resulting income from such investments so that the Fund's non-qualifying income does not exceed 10% of its gross income.

***Taxation of the Fund.*** If the Fund qualifies for treatment as a RIC, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on income and gains that are distributed in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of dividends.

If, for any taxable year, the Fund was to fail to qualify as a RIC or was to fail to meet the distribution requirement described above, it would be taxed in the same manner as an ordinary corporation and distributions to its shareholders would not be deductible by the Fund in computing its taxable income. In addition, the Fund's distributions, to the extent derived from the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits, including any distributions of net long-term capital gains, would be taxable to shareholders as dividend income for federal income tax purposes. However, such dividends would be eligible, subject to any generally applicable limitations, (i) to be treated as qualified dividend income in the case of shareholders taxed as individuals and (ii) for the dividends received deduction in the case of corporate shareholders. Moreover, the Fund would be required to pay out its earnings and profits accumulated in that year in order to qualify for treatment as a RIC in a subsequent year. Under certain circumstances, the Fund may be able to cure a failure to qualify as a RIC, but in order to do so the Fund may incur significant Fund-level taxes and may be forced to dispose of certain assets. If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC for a period greater than two taxable years, the Fund would generally be required to recognize any net built-in gains with respect to certain of its assets upon a disposition of such assets within five years of qualifying as a RIC in a subsequent year.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund intends to distribute at least annually to its shareholders substantially all of its investment company taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction) and its net capital gain (the excess of the Fund's net long-term capital gain over its net short-term capital loss). Investment income that is retained by the Fund will generally be subject to tax at the regular 21% corporate rate. If the Fund retains any net capital gain, that gain will be subject to tax at the 21% corporate rate, but the Fund may designate the retained amount as undistributed capital gains in a notice to its shareholders who (i) will be required to include in income for federal income tax purposes, as long-term capital gain, their shares of such undistributed amount, (ii) will be deemed to have paid their proportionate shares of the tax paid by the Fund on such undistributed amount against their federal income tax liabilities, if any, and (iii) will be entitled to claim refunds on a properly filed U.S. tax returns to the extent the credit exceeds such liabilities. For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of shares owned by a shareholder of the Fund will be increased by an amount equal to the difference between the amount of undistributed capital gains included in the shareholder's gross income and the tax deemed paid by the shareholder.

If the Fund fails to distribute in a calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of 98% of its ordinary income for such year and 98.2% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period ending October 31 of such year, plus any retained amount from the prior year, the Fund will be subject to a non-deductible 4% excise tax on the undistributed amount. For these purposes, the Fund will be treated as having distributed any amount on which it has been subject to corporate income tax for the taxable year ending within the calendar year. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends and distributions in the amounts and at the times necessary to avoid the application of the 4% excise tax, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so. For example, the Fund may receive delayed or corrected tax reporting statements from its investments that cause the Fund to accrue additional income and gains after the Fund has already made its excise tax distributions for the year. In such a situation, the Fund may incur an excise tax liability resulting from such delayed receipt of such tax information statements.

The Fund may elect to treat part or all of any "qualified late year loss" as if it had been incurred in the succeeding taxable year in determining the Fund's taxable income, net capital gain, net short-term capital gain, and earnings and profits. A "qualified late year loss" generally includes net capital loss, net long-term capital loss, or net short-term capital loss incurred after October 31 of the current taxable year, and certain other late-year losses.

The treatment of capital loss carryovers for the Fund is similar to the rules that apply to capital loss carryovers of individuals, which provide that such losses are carried over indefinitely. If the Fund has a "net capital loss" (that is, capital losses in excess of capital gains), the excess of the Fund's net short-term capital losses over its net long-term capital gains is treated as a short-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year, and the excess (if any) of the Fund's net long-term capital losses over its net short-term capital gains is treated as a long-term capital loss arising on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. In addition, the carryover of capital losses may be limited under the general loss limitation rules if the Fund experiences an ownership change as defined in the Code.

***Fund Distributions.*** Distributions are generally taxable whether shareholders receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares. Moreover, distributions on the Fund's shares are generally subject to federal income tax as described herein to the extent they do not exceed the Fund's realized income and gains, even though such distributions may economically represent a return of a particular shareholder's investment. Investors may therefore wish to avoid purchasing shares at a time when the Fund's NAV reflects gains that are either unrealized, or realized but not distributed. Realized income and gains must generally be distributed even when the Fund's NAV also reflects unrealized losses.

Dividends and other distributions by the Fund are generally treated under the Code as received by the shareholders at the time the dividend or distribution is made. However, if any dividend or distribution is declared by the Fund in October, November, or December of any calendar year and payable to its shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month but is actually paid during the following January, such dividend or distribution will be deemed to have been received by each shareholder on December 31 of the year in which the dividend was declared.

Distributions by the Fund of net short-term capital gains are generally taxable as ordinary income. Taxes on distributions of capital gains are determined by how long the Fund owned the assets that generated those gains, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her Fund shares. Sales of assets held by the Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by the Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses. Distributions from the Fund's net capital gain that are properly reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends ("Capital Gain Dividends") will be taxable as long-term capital gains. For individuals, long-term capital gains are subject to tax at reduced maximum tax rates. Distributions of gains from the sale of investments that the Fund owned for one year or less will be taxable as ordinary income.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

For non-corporate shareholders, distributions of investment income reported by the Fund as derived from "qualified dividend income" will be taxed at the rates applicable to long-term capital gain, provided holding period and other requirements are met at both the shareholder and Fund level. In order for some portion of the dividends received by the Fund shareholder to be "qualified dividend income," the Fund making the distribution must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to some portion of the dividend-paying stocks in its portfolio and the shareholder must meet holding period and other requirements with respect to the Fund's shares. A dividend will not be treated as qualified dividend income (at either the Fund or shareholder level) (1) if the dividend is received with respect to any share of stock held for fewer than 61 days during the 121-day period beginning on the date that is 60 days before the date on which such share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend (or, in the case of certain preferred stock, 91 days during the 181-day period beginning 90 days before the ex-dividend date), (2) to the extent that the recipient is under an obligation (whether pursuant to a short sale or otherwise) to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property, (3) if the recipient elects to have the dividend income treated as investment income for purposes of the limitation on deductibility of investment interest, or (4) if the dividend is received from a foreign corporation that is (a) not eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive income tax treaty with the United States (with the exception of dividends paid on stock of such a foreign corporation that is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States) or (b) treated as a passive foreign investment company. Dividends received by the Fund from an underlying fund taxable as a RIC may be treated as qualified dividend income generally only to the extent so reported by such underlying fund. Certain of the trading strategies of the Fund may limit its ability to make distributions eligible for the reduced tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income.

Certain dividends received by the Fund on stock of U.S. corporations (generally, dividends received by the Fund in respect of any share of stock (1) as to which the Fund has met certain holding period requirements and (2) that is held in an unleveraged position) may be eligible for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporate shareholders under the Code, provided such dividends also are appropriately reported as eligible for the dividends received deduction by the Fund. In order to qualify for the dividends received deduction, corporate shareholders must also meet minimum holding period requirements with respect to the Fund shares, taking into account any holding period reductions from certain hedging or other transactions or positions that diminish their risk of loss with respect to the Fund shares. The investment strategies of the Fund may significantly limit its ability to distribute dividends eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.

To the extent that the Fund makes a distribution of income received by the Fund in lieu of dividends (a "substitute payment") with respect to securities on loan pursuant to a securities lending transaction, such income will not constitute qualified dividend income to individual shareholders and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders.

Dividends and distributions from the Fund and capital gain on the sale of Fund shares are generally taken into account in determining a shareholder's "net investment income" for purposes of the net investment income tax applicable to certain individuals, estates and trusts.

A RIC that receives business interest income may pass through its net business interest income for purposes of the tax rules applicable to the interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Code. A RIC's total "Section 163(j) Interest Dividend" for a tax year is limited to the excess of the RIC's business interest income over the sum of its business interest expense and its other deductions properly allocable to its business interest income. A RIC may, in its discretion, designate all or a portion of ordinary dividends as Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, which would allow the recipient shareholder to treat the designated portion of such dividends as interest income for purposes of determining such shareholder's interest expense deduction limitation under Section 163(j). This can potentially increase the amount of a shareholder's interest expense deductible under Section 163(j). In general, to be eligible to treat a Section 163(j) Interest Dividend as interest income, you must have held your shares in the Fund for more than 180 days during the 361-day period beginning on the date that is 180 days before the date on which the share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, if so designated by the Fund, will be reported to your financial intermediary or otherwise in accordance with the requirements specified by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

If the Fund makes distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits in any taxable year, the excess distribution to each shareholder will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's tax basis in its shares, and will reduce the shareholder's tax basis in its shares. After the shareholder's basis has been reduced to zero, any such distributions will result in a capital gain, assuming the shareholder holds his or her shares as capital assets. A reduction in a shareholder's tax basis in its shares, will reduce any loss or increase any gain on a subsequent taxable disposition by the shareholder of its shares.

***Sale or Exchange of Shares.*** A sale or exchange of shares in the Fund may give rise to a gain or loss. For tax purposes, an exchange of a shareholder's Fund shares for shares of a different fund is the same as a sale. In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the shares have been held for more than 12 months and the shares are held as a capital asset. Otherwise, the gain or loss on the taxable disposition of shares will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss. However, any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares held for six months or less will be treated as long-term, rather than short-term, to the extent of any long-term capital gain distributions received (or deemed received) by the shareholder with respect to the shares. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable disposition of shares will be disallowed if substantially identical shares of the Fund are purchased within 30 days before or after the disposition. In such a case, the basis of the newly purchased shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss.

***Backup Withholding.*** The Fund (or financial intermediaries, such as brokers, through which a shareholder holds Fund shares) generally is required to withhold and to remit to the U.S. Treasury a percentage of the taxable distributions and sale or redemption proceeds paid to any shareholder who fails to properly furnish a correct taxpayer identification number, who has under-reported dividend or interest income, or who fails to certify that he, she, or it is not subject to such withholding. The backup withholding tax rate is 24%. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld may be credited against the shareholder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the appropriate information is furnished to the IRS.

***Federal Tax Treatment of Certain Fund Investments.*** Transactions by the Fund in options, futures contracts, hedging transactions, forward contracts, swap agreements, and straddles may be subject to various special and complex tax rules, including mark-to-market, constructive-sale, straddle, wash-sale, and short-sale rules. These rules could affect the Fund's ability to qualify as a RIC, affect whether gains and losses recognized by the Fund are treated as ordinary income or capital gain, accelerate the recognition of income to the Fund, or defer the Fund's ability to recognize losses. These rules may in turn affect the amount, timing, or character of the income distributed to shareholders by the Fund and may require the Fund to sell securities to mitigate the effect of these rules and prevent disqualification of the Fund as a RIC at a time when the Adviser might not otherwise have chosen to do so.

Certain derivative investments by the Fund, such as exchange-traded products and OTC derivatives, may not produce qualifying income for purposes of the 90% Test described above, which must be met in order for the Fund to maintain its status as a RIC under the Code. In addition, the determination of the value and the identity of the issuer of such derivative investments are often unclear for purposes of the Asset Test described above. The Fund intends to carefully monitor such investments to ensure that any non-qualifying income does not exceed permissible limits and to ensure that it is adequately diversified under the Asset Test. The Fund, however, may not be able to accurately predict the non-qualifying income from these investments and there are no assurances that the IRS will agree with the Fund's determination under the Asset Test with respect to such derivatives. Failure of the Asset Test might also result from a determination by the IRS that financial instruments in which the Fund invests are not securities.

The Fund is required, for federal income tax purposes, to mark to market and recognize as income for each taxable year its net unrealized gains and losses as of the end of such year on certain regulated futures contracts, foreign currency contracts and options under Code Section 1256 ("Section 1256 Contracts") in addition to the gains and losses actually realized with respect to such contracts during the year. Gain or loss from Section 1256 Contracts that are required to be marked to market annually will generally be 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gain or loss. Application of this rule may alter the timing and character of distributions to shareholders.

***Foreign Investments.*** Income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries (including, for example, dividends or interest on stock or securities of non-U.S. issuers) may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Tax treaties between such countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's assets at the close of any taxable year consists of stock or securities of foreign corporations, which for this purpose may include obligations of foreign governmental issuers, the Fund may elect, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to treat any foreign income or withholding taxes paid by the Fund as paid by its shareholders. For any year that the Fund is eligible for and makes such an election, each shareholder of the Fund will be required to include in income an amount equal to his or her allocable share of qualified foreign income taxes paid by the Fund, and shareholders will be entitled, subject to certain holding period requirements and other limitations, to credit their portions of these amounts against their U.S. federal income tax due, if any, or to deduct their portions from their U.S. taxable income, if any. No deductions for foreign taxes paid by the Fund may be claimed, however, by non-corporate shareholders who do not itemize deductions. No deduction for such taxes will be permitted to individuals in computing their alternative minimum tax liability. Foreign taxes paid by the Fund will reduce the return from the Fund's investments. Under certain circumstances, if the Fund receives a refund of foreign taxes paid in respect of a prior year, the value of Fund shares could be affected or any foreign tax credits or deductions passed through to shareholders in respect of the Fund's foreign taxes for the current year could be reduced.

If the Fund holds shares in a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC"), it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any "excess distribution" or gain from the disposition of such shares even if such income is distributed as a taxable dividend by the Fund to its shareholders. Additional charges in the nature of interest may be imposed on the Fund in respect of deferred taxes arising from such distributions or gains.

The Fund may be eligible to treat a PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") under the Code in which case, in lieu of the foregoing requirements, the Fund will be required to include in income each year a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the QEF, even if not distributed to the Fund, and such amounts will be subject to the 90% and excise tax distribution requirements described above. Such amounts included in income each year by the Fund will be "qualifying income," even if not distributed to the Fund, to the extent such income is derived with respect to the Fund's business of investing in stock, securities, or currencies. In order to make the QEF election, the Fund would be required to obtain certain annual information from the PFICs in which it invests, which may be difficult or impossible to obtain. Alternatively, the Fund may make a mark-to-market election that will result in the Fund being treated as if it had sold and repurchased its PFIC stock at the end of each year. In such case, the Fund would report any gains resulting from such deemed sales as ordinary income and would deduct any losses resulting from such deemed sales as ordinary losses to the extent of previously recognized gains. The election must be made separately for each PFIC owned by the Fund and, once made, is effective for all subsequent taxable years, unless revoked with the consent of IRS. By making the election, the Fund could potentially ameliorate the adverse tax consequences with respect to its ownership of shares in a PFIC, but in any particular year may be required to recognize income in excess of the distributions it receives from PFICs and its proceeds from dispositions of PFIC stock. The Fund may have to distribute this excess income to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement and to avoid imposition of the 4% excise tax. In order to distribute this income and avoid a tax at the Fund level, the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio securities that it might otherwise have continued to hold, potentially resulting in additional taxable gain or loss.

In general, a foreign corporation that does not conduct a U.S. trade or business is nonetheless subject to tax at a flat rate of 30%, generally payable through withholding, on the gross amount of certain U.S.-source income that is not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. Income subject to such a flat tax includes dividends and certain interest income from U.S. sources.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

The Fund's shares held in a tax-qualified retirement account will generally not be subject to federal taxation on income and capital gains distributions from the Fund until a shareholder begins receiving payments from their retirement account. Because each shareholder's tax situation is different, shareholders should consult their tax advisor about the tax implications of an investment in the Fund.

***Non-U.S. Shareholders.*** In general, dividends other than Capital Gain Dividends paid by the Fund to a shareholder that is not a "U.S. person" within the meaning of the Code are subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) on distributions derived from taxable ordinary income. The Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an "interest related dividend" or a "short term capital gain dividend," which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Short term capital gain dividends received by a nonresident alien individual who is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year are not exempt from this 30% withholding tax.

A beneficial holder of shares who is a non-U.S. person is not, in general, subject to U.S. federal income tax on gains (and is not allowed a U.S. income tax deduction for losses) realized on a sale of shares of the Fund or on Capital Gain Dividends unless (i) such gain or dividend is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business carried on by such holder within the United States or (ii) in the case of an individual holder, the holder is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the year of the sale or the receipt of the Capital Gain Dividend and certain other conditions are met.

Unless certain non-U.S. entities that hold Fund shares comply with IRS requirements that generally require them to report information regarding U.S. persons investing in, or holding accounts with, such entities, a 30% withholding tax may apply to Fund distributions payable to such entities. A non-U.S. shareholder may be exempt from the withholding described in this paragraph under an applicable intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and a foreign government, provided that the shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of the agreement.

Under legislation generally known as "FATCA" (the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), the Fund is required to withhold 30% of certain ordinary dividends it pays to shareholders that fail to meet prescribed information reporting or certification requirements. In general, no such withholding will be required with respect to a U.S. person or non-U.S. person that timely provides the certifications required by the Fund or its agent on a valid IRS Form W-9 or applicable series of IRS Form W-8, respectively. Shareholders potentially subject to withholding include foreign financial institutions ("FFIs"), such as non-U.S. investment funds, and non-financial foreign entities ("NFFEs"). To avoid withholding under FATCA, an FFI generally must enter into an information sharing agreement with the IRS in which it agrees to report certain identifying information (including name, address, and taxpayer identification number) with respect to its U.S. account holders (which, in the case of an entity shareholder, may include its direct and indirect U.S. owners), and an NFFE generally must identify and provide other required information to the Fund or other withholding agent regarding its U.S. owners, if any. Such non-U.S. shareholders may also fall into certain exempt, excepted, or deemed compliant categories as established by regulations and other guidance. A non-U.S. shareholder resident doing business in a country that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. to implement FATCA will be exempt from FATCA withholding provided that the shareholder and the applicable foreign government comply with the terms of the agreement.

In order for a non-U.S. investor to qualify for an exemption from backup withholding, described above, the non-U.S. investor must comply with special certification and filing requirements. Non-U.S. investors in the Fund should consult their tax advisors in this regard. A beneficial holder of shares who is a non-U.S. person may be subject to state and local tax and to the U.S. federal estate tax in addition to the federal income tax consequences referred to above. If a shareholder is eligible for the benefits of a tax treaty, any income or gain effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis only if it also is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the shareholder in the United States.

***Creation and Redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations.*** An Authorized Participant having the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes that exchanges securities for Creation Unit Aggregations generally will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the market value of the Creation Unit Aggregations at the time of the exchange and any cash received by the Authorized Participant in the exchange and (ii) the sum of the exchanger's aggregate basis in the securities or non-U.S. currency surrendered and any cash paid for such Creation Unit Aggregations. All or a portion of any gain or loss recognized by an Authorized Participant exchanging a currency other than its functional currency for Creation Unit Aggregations may be treated as ordinary income or loss. A person who redeems Creation Unit Aggregations will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger's basis in the Creation Unit Aggregations and the sum of the aggregate U.S. dollar market value of any securities or non-U.S. currency received plus the amount of any cash received for such Creation Unit Aggregations. The IRS, however, may assert that a loss that is realized by an Authorized Participant upon an exchange of securities or non-U.S. currency for Creation Unit Aggregations may not be currently deducted, under the rules governing "wash sales" (for an Authorized Participant that does not mark-to-market its holdings), or on the basis that there has been no significant change in economic position. All or some portion of any capital gain or loss realized upon the creation of Creation Unit Aggregations in exchange for securities will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if securities exchanged for such Creation Unit Aggregations have been held for more than one year.

A person subject to U.S. federal income tax with the U.S. dollar as its functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes who receives non-U.S. currency upon a redemption of Creation Unit Aggregations and does not immediately convert the non-U.S. currency into U.S. dollars may, upon a later conversion of the non-U.S. currency into U.S. dollars, or upon the use of the non-U.S. currency to pay expenses or acquire assets, recognize as ordinary gains or losses any gains or losses resulting from fluctuations in the value of the non-U.S. currency relative to the U.S. dollar since the date of the redemption.

Persons exchanging securities or non-U.S. currency for Creation Unit Aggregations should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax treatment of any creation or redemption transaction and whether the wash sales rules apply and when a loss might be deductible.

***Section 351.*** The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has the right to reject an order for Creation Unit Aggregations if the purchaser (or any group of purchasers) would, upon obtaining the shares so ordered, own 80% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund and if, pursuant to Section 351 of the Code, the Fund would have a basis in the securities different from the market value of such securities on the date of deposit. The Trust also has the right to require information necessary to determine beneficial share ownership for purposes of the 80% determination. If the Fund does issue Creation Unit Aggregations to a purchaser (or a group of purchasers) that would, upon obtaining the Creation Unit Aggregations so ordered, own 80% or more of the outstanding shares, the purchaser (or a group of purchasers) will generally not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of securities for Creation Unit Aggregations.

***Certain Reporting Treasury Regulations.*** Under Treasury Regulations, generally, if a shareholder recognizes a loss of $2 million or more for an individual shareholder or $10 million or more for a corporate shareholder (or certain greater amounts over a combination of years), the shareholder must file with the IRS a disclosure statement on IRS Form 8886. Direct shareholders of portfolio securities are in many cases excepted from this reporting requirement, but under current guidance shareholders of a RIC are not excepted. Significant penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with the reporting Treasury Regulations. The fact that a loss is reportable under these Treasury Regulations does not affect the legal determination of whether the taxpayer's treatment of the loss is proper. Shareholders should consult their tax advisors to determine the applicability of these Treasury Regulations in light of their individual circumstances.

***Cost Basis Reporting.*** The cost basis of shares acquired by purchase will generally be based on the amount paid for the shares and then may be subsequently adjusted for other applicable transactions as required by the Code. The difference between the selling price and the cost basis of shares generally determines the amount of the capital gain or loss realized on the sale or exchange of shares. Contact the broker through whom you purchased your shares to obtain information with respect to the available cost basis reporting methods and elections for your account.

***General Considerations.*** The federal income tax discussion set forth above is for general information only. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the specific federal income tax consequences of purchasing, holding, and disposing of shares of the Fund, as well as the effect of state, local, and foreign tax law and any proposed tax law changes.

**DETERMINATION OF NAV** 

The NAV of the Fund's shares is calculated each day the Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the Listing Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the "NAV Calculation Time"). NAV per share is calculated by dividing the Fund's net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Fund's assets are comprised of its portfolio securities and other investments and assets, including cash and net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains that have previously been earned but not yet distributed. As a result, when a shareholder purchases shares of the Fund, part of the NAV is often comprised of such income and gains prior to the purchase, which are included in the purchase price paid by the shareholder. Further, any payment of an income dividend or distribution of capital gains will result in a decrease in the Fund's NAV in the amount of the payment of the income dividend or capital gains distribution (*i.e.*, the NAV as of the ex-dividend date, which is the first date following the declaration of a dividend and/or distribution on which the purchaser of shares is not entitled to receive the payment, excludes the amount of the dividend and/or distribution to be paid).

In calculating the Fund's NAV, the Fund generally values: (i) equity securities (including common stocks and preferred stock) traded on any recognized U.S. exchange at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded; (ii) unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price; (iii) fixed-income securities at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers; (iv) money market funds at their NAV per share; and (v) derivatives investments at fair value using a variety of information (e.g., futures contracts are generally fair valued based on the last sale price). U.S. fixed income assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. The values of foreign securities generally are determined at the close of such foreign markets or the NAV Calculation Time, if earlier. Investments quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars at the prevailing currency exchange rates. If the Fund holds securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or days when the Fund does not price its shares, the Fund's NAV will reflect the foreign market changes at the next NAV Calculation Time. Similarly, if the Fund holds securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges that are closed while U.S. markets are open, the Fund's NAV will reflect the fair value of those securities as determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined below). In addition, the Fund may invest in affiliated ETFs which are valued at their last sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.

Pursuant to Board-approved valuation procedures established by the Trust and the Adviser, the Board has appointed the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to perform all fair valuations of the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Fund's portfolio investments. These procedures address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and the methodologies to be used for determining the fair value of investments, as well as the use and oversight of third-party pricing services for fair valuation. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser is responsible for the establishment and application, in a consistent manner, of appropriate methodologies for determining the fair value of investments, periodically reviewing the selected methodologies used for continuing appropriateness and accuracy, and making any changes or adjustments to the methodologies as appropriate.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

Fair value pricing is used by the Valuation Designee when reliable market quotations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values and when the instrument to be priced is not a security. Fund holdings that may be valued using fair value pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations or whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by "significant events." An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before the Fund's next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of the Fund's investment (*e.g.*, government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair value pricing is employed by the Valuation Designee, the prices of securities used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

The sale price the Fund could receive for a security or other asset may differ from the Fund's valuation of the security or other asset, particularly for securities or other assets that trade in low volume or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. The use of fair valuation in pricing a security involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and, therefore, is susceptible to the unavoidable risk that the valuation may be higher or lower than the price at which the security might actually trade if a reliable market price were readily available. In addition, particularly for the Fund's foreign securities or asset holdings, the value of the securities or other assets in the Fund's portfolio may change on days or during time periods when shareholders will not be able to purchase or sell the Fund's shares. As a result, the price received upon the sale of an investment may be less than the value ascribed by the Fund, and the Fund could realize a greater than expected loss or lesser than expected gain upon the sale of the investment. The Fund's ability to value its investment may also be impacted by technological issues, pricing methodology issues, and/or errors by pricing services or other third-party service providers.

Fund shares are purchased or sold on a national securities exchange at market prices, which may be higher or lower than the NAV of the Fund's shares. No secondary sales will be made to brokers or dealers at a concession by the Distributor or by the Fund. Purchases and sales of shares in the secondary market, which will not involve the Fund, will be subject to customary brokerage commissions and charges. Transactions in Fund shares will be priced at NAV only if you purchase or redeem shares directly from the Fund in Creation Unit Aggregations. Recent information regarding the Fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid/ask spreads is available on the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

**DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS** 

The Fund intends to pay out dividends, if any, quarterly, but in any event no less frequently than annually. Nonetheless, the Fund might not make a dividend payment quarterly.

The Fund intends to distribute its net realized capital gains, if any, to investors annually. On occasion, the Fund may be required or determine to make one or more supplemental distributions of its net realized capital gains during the year. Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole shares of the Fund only if the broker through whom you purchased shares makes such option available. Your broker is responsible for distributing any income and capital gain distributions to you.

The Trust reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

**FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

The audited financial statements, including the financial highlights, appearing in the Fund's Annual Financial Statements and Other Information for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to be filed electronically with the SEC as part of the Fund's Form N-CSR filing, will be incorporated by reference and made part of this SAI when available after the Fund has completed a fiscal year of operations. You may request a copy of the Fund's Annual Financial Statements and Other Information at no charge by calling 866-909-9473 or through the Fund's website at www.wisdomtree.com/investments.

**Item 30.** **Indemnification** 

Reference is made to Article IX of the Registrant's Trust Instrument included as Exhibit (a)(2) to this registration statement with respect to the indemnification of the Registrant's trustees and officers, which is set forth below:

**Section 1. Limitation of Liability.**

All Persons contracting with or having any claim against the Trust or a particular Series shall look only to the assets of the Trust or Assets belonging to such Series, respectively, for payment under such contract or claim; and neither the Trustees nor any of the Trust's officers, employees, or agents, whether past, present, or future, shall be personally liable therefor. Every written instrument or obligation on behalf of the Trust or any Series shall contain a statement to the foregoing effect, but the absence of such statement shall not operate to make any Trustee or officer of the Trust liable thereunder. Provided they have exercised reasonable care and have acted under the reasonable belief that their actions are in the best interest of the Trust, the Trustees and officers of the Trust shall not be responsible or liable for any act or omission or for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee, Investment Adviser, or independent contractor of the Trust, but nothing contained in this Trust Instrument or in the Delaware Act shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust against liability to the Trust or to Shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

**Section 2. Indemnification.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in subsection (b) below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) every Person who is, or has been, a Trustee or an officer, employee, or agent of the Trust ("Covered Person") shall be indemnified by the Trust or the appropriate Series (out of Assets belonging to that Series) to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding in which he becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Covered Person and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement thereof; provided that the transfer agent of the Trust or any Series shall not be considered an agent for these purposes unless expressly deemed to be such by the Trustees in a resolution referring to this Article.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) as used herein, the words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding" shall apply to all claims, actions, suits, or proceedings (civil, criminal, or other, including appeals), actual or threatened, and the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include attorney's fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines, penalties, and other liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) who has been adjudicated by a court or body before which the proceeding was brought:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in the best interest of the Trust; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) in the event of a settlement, unless there has been a determination that such Covered Person did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office (A) by the court or other body approving the settlement, (B) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), or (C) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now or hereafter be entitled, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of a Covered Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, expenses in connection with the preparation and presentation of a defense to any claim, action, suit, or proceeding of the character described in subsection (a) of this Section shall be paid by the Trust or applicable Series from time to time prior to final disposition thereof on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be paid over by him to the Trust or applicable Series if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Section, provided that either (i) such Covered Person has provided appropriate security for such undertaking, (ii) the Trust is insured against losses arising out of any such advance payments, or (iii) either a majority of the Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor parties to the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, has determined, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry) that there is reason to believe that such Covered Person will not be disqualified from indemnification under this Section.

[**Table of Contents**](#toc2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Any repeal or modification of this Article IX by the Shareholders, or adoption or modification of any other provision of this Trust Instrument or the By-laws inconsistent with this Article, shall be prospective only, to the extent that such repeal, modification, or adoption would, if applied retrospectively, adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any Covered Person or indemnification available to any Covered Person with respect to any act or omission that occurred prior to such repeal, modification, or adoption.

Reference is made to Article VI of the Registrant's By-Laws included as Exhibit (b) to this registration statement with respect to the indemnification of the Registrant's trustees and officers, which is set forth below:

**Section 6.2. Limitation of Liability.**

The Declaration refers to the Trustees as Trustees, but not as individuals or personally; and no Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be held to any personal liability, nor shall resort be had to their private property for the satisfaction of any obligation or claim or otherwise in connection with the affairs of the Trust; provided, that nothing contained in the Declaration or the By-Laws shall protect any Trustee or officer of the Trust from any liability to the Trust or its Shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Trust, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Trust has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Trust of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Trust in connection with the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding or payment pursuant to any insurance policy) is asserted against the Trust by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Trust will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 **Methodology Guide for US Dividend Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index ("DI"), WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index **(**"LargeCap Dividend Index"), WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Index ("MidCap Dividend Index"),WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Index ("SmallCap Dividend Index"), WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Index ("High Dividend Index"), WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index ("Quality Dividend Growth Index") and WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Index ("SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Index") (collectively, the "Domestic Dividend Indexes") were developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WT") to define the dividend-paying segments of the U.S. stock market and to serve as performance benchmarks for equity income investors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The DI measures
 the performance of investable U.S.-based companies that pay regular cash dividends on shares
 of common stock. All of the other Domestic Dividend Indexes, defined below, are derived from
 the DI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The LargeCap Dividend
 Index is comprised of dividend-paying companies from the large-capitalization segment of
 the DI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The MidCap Dividend
 Index is comprised of dividend-paying companies from the mid-capitalization segment of the
 DI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The SmallCap Dividend
 Index is comprised of dividend-paying companies from the small-capitalization segment of
 the DI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The High Dividend
 Index is comprised of the high-yielding companies within the DI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Quality Dividend
 Growth Index is comprised of dividend-paying stocks with growth characteristics.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The SmallCap Quality
 Dividend Growth Index is comprised of dividend-paying companies from the small-capitalization
 segment of the DI with growth characteristics.

Each Index is reconstituted annually, at which time each component's weight is adjusted, if necessary, to reflect its dividend-weighting in the Index. Dividend weighting is defined as each component's projected cash dividends to be paid over the coming year divided by the sum of the projected cash dividends to be paid by all the components in the Index over the same period. This quotient is the percentage weight assigned to each component in the Index at the annual reconstitution. Projected cash dividends to be paid is calculated by multiplying a company's indicated annual dividend per share by common shares outstanding. Each Index is calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested in the components of the Index. Each Index is calculated using available primary market prices.

**Page 5 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Indexes are overseen by the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than three members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Index. WisdomTree designed this methodology to achieve the Index's objective. The primary function of the Committee is to seek to ensure the Index methodology is implemented correctly. In such role, the Index Committee selects all constituents meeting the eligibility criteria described herein in its discretion. In addition, any changes to or deviations from this methodology are intended to enable the Index to continue to achieve its objective and will be made in the sole judgment and discretion of the Index Committee.

The Committee meetings generally will be held at a semi-annual cadence or as needed in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index or as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may be changed from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes, a company must list its shares on a U.S. stock exchange, conduct its Primary Business Activities<sup>1</sup> in the United States and pay regular cash dividends on shares of its common stock in the 12 months preceding the annual reconstitution, which takes place in December. Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $100 million by the "Screening Date" (i.e., after the close of trading on the last trading day in November) and shares of such companies must have had a median daily trading dollar volume of at least $100,000 for the three months preceding the Screening Date.

<sup>1</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 6 of **192**

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes. ADRs, GDRs, EDRs, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, and Business Development Companies (BDCs), preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible for inclusion in the Indexes.<sup>2</sup> The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), is also not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

In addition, companies that fall within the bottom decile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes. The composite risk factor score is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below.

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

Companies that fall within the top 5% ranked by dividend yield and also the bottom ½ of the composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Base Date and Base Value

Indexes covering entire regions were established with a base value of 300 on May 31, 2006. Market-cap segment and high dividend indexes were established with a base value of 200 on May 31, 2006.

The WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index and WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Index were established with a base value of 200 on April 11, 2013.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Domestic Dividend Indexes:

![](h23_formulap7.jpg)

<sup>2</sup> Beginning with the December 2006 reconstitution, Mortgage REITs will no longer be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree Domestic and International Dividend Indexes.

**Page 7 of **192**

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

D = Divisor

The Domestic Dividend Indexes are calculated whenever the US exchanges are open for trading.

If trading is suspended while one of the exchanges is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The price Index is updated on a real time basis, while the total return Index is calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis. Price index values are calculated and disseminated every 15 seconds to the Securities Industry Automation Corporation (SIAC) so that such Index Values can print to the Consolidated Tape.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Domestic Dividend Indexes are modified capitalization-weighted Indexes that employ a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that dividends play in the total return of the Indexes. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is equal to the dollar value of the company's cash dividends to be paid in the coming year based on the company's indicated annual dividend per share. To calculate the weighting factor – Cash Dividends to be paid – indicated annual dividend per share is multiplied by common shares outstanding.<sup>3</sup> Thus, each component's weight in the Index at the "U.S. Weighting Date" (defined below) reflects its share of the total Dividend Stream projected to be paid in the coming year by all of the component companies in the Index. The dividend stream will be adjusted for constituents with dividend yields greater than 12% at the screening date. The dividend stream of these capped securities will be their market cap multiplied by 12%.

For the size segment dividend indexes (total, large, mid and small caps) and high dividend cuts of the market, companies that fall within the top two deciles of the composite risk factor will have their dividend stream multiplied by 1.5 while all other dividends will remain unadjusted.

Companies will be weighted in the index based on this adjusted dividend stream.

<sup>3</sup> Special Dividends are not included in the computation of Index weights.

**Page 8 of **192**

The U.S. Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "U.S. Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of the Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and the weights of all other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The capping rules described below are applied concurrently and, in a manner, designed to seek to minimize deviation from a component's initial or intended weighting in an Index.

The following capping rule applies to all Domestic Dividend Indexes, unless specified otherwise below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 the components assigned to any sector (except the Real Estate sector) achieve an aggregate
 weight greater than 25% of an Index, the aggregate weight of the component companies will
 be reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date. The Real Estate sector will be capped
 at 10%.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index the following caps apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Real Estate sector
 will be capped at 5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a component company's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted
 version of the Index exceed 3x or fall below 0.33x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 3x or 0.33x thresholds, respectively.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index the following caps apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a security's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version
 of the index reach above 3x or fall below 0.33x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 3x or 0.33x thresholds, respectively.

**Page 9 of **192**

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Index and the U.S. SmallCap Dividend Index the following caps apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a security's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version
 of the index reach above 2.5x or fall below 0.4x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 2.5x or 0.4x thresholds, respectively.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Index the following caps apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual component is capped at 5% on the annual rebalance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a security's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version
 of the index reach above 3x or fall below 0.33x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 3x or 0.33x thresholds, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sector exposures will
 be capped at the lesser of 25% or 3x their weight in a market capitalization version of the
 initial universe of eligible securities prior to the final selection of highest dividend
 yielding companies as detailed in section 5.5 below. The Real Estate sector will be capped
 at 5%.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index, the following capping rules are applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 8% on the annual rebalance prior to
 the introduction of sector caps and the weights of all other components will be adjusted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a security's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version
 of the index reach above 3x or fall below 0.33x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 3x or 0.33x thresholds, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sector exposures will
 be capped at the lesser of 20% or 2x their weight in a market capitalization version of the
 initial universe of eligible securities prior to the final selection of 300 companies as
 detailed in section 5.6 below. The Information Technology sector will be capped at 30%. The
 Real Estate sector will be capped at 10%.

**Page 10 of **192**

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Index the following caps apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 2% on the annual rebalance and the weights of all
 other components will be adjusted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a security's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version
 of the index reach above 2.5x or fall below 0.4x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 2.5x or 0.4x thresholds, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any sector
 achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the Index, weight of companies will be reduced
 to 25% as of the annual Screening Date. Real Estate sector will be capped at 10%.

The weights of individual components or groups of components may fluctuate above or below the specified caps during the year intra annual rebalance dates. The weights will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all Indexes after the capping rules described above have been applied:

A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index. The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor

/ $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the holding, sector and country weights above the specified caps.

**Page 11 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. Special dividends are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, each class of share will be included in any broad-based Index, provided that dividends are paid on that share of stock. In the event such a component company qualified for inclusion in the "High Dividend" cut from these broad-based Indexes, only the share class of that company with the highest dividend yield would be selected for inclusion. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index. For all Mid and Small cap cuts, if a security has multiple listed share classes and the total market capitalization of the listed share classes is greater than largest market capitalization cutoff of that index, the security would not be eligible for that index. At least one share class will be eligible for inclusion in either large, mid or small size cut based on total market value of the company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spin-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Domestic Dividend Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Domestic Dividend Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate action. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 12 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Domestic Dividend Indexes are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first trading day following the "U.S. Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index and the WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index:

The DI will check for dividend initiators on a quarterly basis (following the close of trading in February, May and August), in addition to the annual screening in November. If initiators are within the 300 largest component companies by market capitalization, they will be added to the Indexes within the first 8 trading days of the following month. Added components will be weighted as specified in section 2.4. with weights of existing components adjusted proportionally.

In the case of the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index:

Dividend initiators to be included in the DI on a quarterly basis, will be ranked using the criteria specified in section 5.6. Companies that rank in the top 300 by this criteria will be added to the Index within the first 8 trading days of the following month. Added components will be weighted as specified in section 2.4. with weights of existing components adjusted proportionally.

No additions are made to any of the remaining Domestic Dividend Indexes between annual reconstitutions.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that cancels its dividend payment is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>4</sup> A component company that is no longer primarily listed in the U.S. or that no longer conducts its Primary Business Activities in the U.S. will be removed from the Index and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Component companies that reclassify their shares (e.g., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

<sup>4</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree Indexes immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 13 of **192**

Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company and pay a regular cash dividend, it will be ineligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes until the next annual reconstitution, provided it meets all other Index eligibility requirements. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same Indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO), pay a regular cash dividend, and meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in a Domestic Dividend Index at the next annual reconstitution of such Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, move their Primary Business Activities outside of the U.S. or that cancel their dividends in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the U.S. reconstitution date are not included in the Domestic Dividend Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

**Page 14 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters for the Domestic Dividend Indexes</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1. Selection parameters for the **WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index** are defined in 3.1. Companies that pass this selection criteria as of the Screening Date
 are included in the DI. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined
 in section 3.4. and annual reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section
 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.2. The **WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Dividend Index** is created
 by selecting the 300 largest component companies of the DI by market capitalization. The
 component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4, and annual
 reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.3. The **WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Dividend Index** is created based
 on a defined percentage of the remaining market capitalization of the DI, once the 300 largest
 companies by market capitalization have been removed. The companies that comprise the top
 75% of the remaining market capitalization are selected for inclusion in the MidCap Dividend
 Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4.,
 and annual reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.4. The **WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Index** is created
 based on a defined percentage of the remaining market capitalization of the DI, once the
 300 largest companies by market capitalization have been removed. The companies that comprise
 the bottom 25% of the remaining market capitalization are selected for inclusion in the SmallCap
 Dividend Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section
 3.4., and annual reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.5. The **WisdomTree U.S. High Dividend Index** is comprised of
 the highest-yielding companies within the DI. On the Screening Date, companies within the
 DI with market capitalizations of at least $200 million and median daily dollar volumes of
 at least $200,000 for the prior three months are eligible for inclusion. Component companies
 are split into Real Estate and ex-Real Estate groups according to their GICS sector classification
 and then ranked by indicated annual dividend yield within those two groups. Companies that
 rank in the top 30% by indicated annual dividend yield are selected for inclusion. To be
 deleted from the Index, companies must rank outside of the top 35% by dividend yield. The
 component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and annual
 reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

**Page 15 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.6. The **WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Index** is created
 as a subset of the DI. On the Screening Date, companies within the DI with market capitalizations
 of at least $2 billion and an earnings yield greater than the dividend yield are eligible
 for inclusion. Eligible companies are ranked on a composite score of two fundamental factors:
 growth and quality, which are equally weighted. The growth factor is determined by a company's
 ranking based on a 50% weight in its median analyst earnings growth forecast, a 25% weight
 in its trailing 5-year earnings growth and a 25% weight in its trailing 5-year sales growth.
 The quality factor is determined by a company's ranking based on 50% its historical
 three-year average return on equity and 50% its historical three-year average return on assets.
 Companies with negative equity and therefore undefined return on equity will be given a median
 score as long as they've shown dividend growth over the past 5 years. Companies that
 rank in the top 250 companies by this combined ranking will be selected for inclusion, the
 number of securities will be further reduced to 200 removing the smallest 50 by initial weighting
 as defined in section 3.4. Eligible companies for the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend
 Growth Index must not be a member of the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.7. The **WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Dividend Growth Index** is created as a subset of the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Index (WTSDI). On the
 Screening Date, companies with earnings yield greater than the dividend yield are eligible
 for inclusion. These companies are ranked using a weighted combination of three ranking factors:
 50% weighted to the rank of medium-term estimated earnings growth, 25% weighted to the rank
 of the historical three-year average return on equity, and 25% weighted to rank of the historical
 three-year average return on assets. Companies with negative equity and therefore undefined
 return on equity will be given a median score as long as they've shown dividend growth
 over the past 5 years. Companies that rank in the top 50% by this combined ranking will be
 selected for inclusion. Companies that lack medium-term earnings growth estimates will be
 eligible for the Index but their composite rank for ultimate selection in the index will
 be the average ranks of their Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA).

 **Methodology Guide for Core Equity Methodology** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Index **(**"LargeCap Index"), WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Index ("MidCap Index") and WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Index ("SmallCap Index") (collectively, the "Core Equity Indexes") were developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WT") to define the universe of profitable companies in the U.S. stock market.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The LargeCap Index
 is comprised of companies with positive earnings from the large-capitalization segment of
 the investment universe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The MidCap Index
 is comprised of companies with positive earnings from the mid-capitalization segment of the
 investment universe.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The SmallCap Index
 is comprised of companies with positive earnings from the small-capitalization segment of
 the investment universe.

Each Index is reconstituted annually, at which time each component's weight is adjusted, if necessary, to reflect its share of the Earnings Stream during the prior four fiscal quarters. The Earnings Stream is defined as cumulative earnings over the prior four fiscal quarters for each component in the Index. The percentage weight assigned to each component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is calculated by dividing the cumulative earnings each component company has generated in its last four reported fiscal quarters by the sum of all the earnings generated by all the component companies in the Index over the same period. Each Index is calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested in the components of the Index. Each Index is calculated using available primary market prices.

**Page 17 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The WisdomTree Core Equity Indexes are overseen by the WisdomTree
 Core Equity Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of
 WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of
 not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect
 to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The
 primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly
 and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined
 by the Committee. Furthermore, the Committee may determine to rebalance each Index more frequently
 in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from underlying earnings,
 or other similar circumstances.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on an annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index, and may be held more frequently as circumstances require.

The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Core Equity Indexes, a company must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent, must list its shares on a U.S. stock exchange, conduct its Primary Business Activities<sup>5</sup> in the United States and have positive cumulative earnings over the four fiscal quarters preceding the annual reconstitution, which takes place in December.

Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $100 million by the "Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November); shares of such companies need to have had a median daily trading dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Screening Date; and component companies need to have had a P/E ratio of at least 2 as of the Screening Date.

<sup>5</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 18 of **192**

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks and holding companies are eligible for inclusion in the Core Equity Indexes. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, and Business Development Companies (BDCs), preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), is also not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

In addition, companies that fall within the bottom decile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion in the Core Equity Indexes. The composite risk factor is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below.

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Index, the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Index and the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Index were established with a base value of 200 on January 31, 2007.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Core Equity Indexes:

![](h23_formulap19.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

D = Divisor

The Core Equity Indexes are calculated every weekday.

**Page 19 of **192**

If trading is suspended while one of the exchanges is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The price Index is updated on a real time basis, while the total return Index is calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis. Price index values are calculated and disseminated every 15 seconds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Core Equity Indexes are modified capitalization-weighted Indexes that employ a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that earnings play in the total return of the Indexes. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is based on the companies' earnings stream during the last four fiscal quarters. To calculate the weighting factor – Earnings Stream – WisdomTree uses cumulative earnings generated over the prior four reported quarters, as of November 30<sup>th</sup> of each year. Thus, each component's weight in the Index at the "U.S. Weighting Date" (defined below) reflects its share of the total Earnings Stream recorded over the prior four quarters by all of the component companies in the Index. The U.S. Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "U.S. Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of the Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and the weights of all other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The capping rules described below are applied concurrently and, in a manner, designed to seek to minimize deviation from a component's initial or intended weighting in an Index.

**Page 20 of **192**

The following capping rule applies to all Core Equity Indexes, unless specified otherwise below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any sector
 achieve a weight that is more than 5% above or below the weight of the sector in a market
 capitalization weighted version of the index, the weight of the companies will be reduced
 or increased to meet the +/-5% threshold, respectively.

Should the ratio of a component company's initial weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted version of the index exceed 3x or fall below 0.33x, the weight of the company will be reduced or increased to meet the 3x or 0.33x thresholds, respectively. The weights may fluctuate above the specified caps during the year but will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all Indexes after the capping rules described above have been applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A further volume
 screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three
 months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) is greater than $200
 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200
 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index.
 The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to
 its volume factor dividend by $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In the event a
 security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three
 months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced
 such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor
 / $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the sector
 weights above the specified caps.

**Page 21 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the most liquid share class, based on the average daily trading volume as described in section 2.1, will be included in the index. Conversion of a share class in the Index into another share class not in the Index results in the conversion of the share class being phased out into the surviving share class. For all Mid and Small cap cuts, if a security has multiple listed share classes and the total market capitalization of the listed share classes is greater than largest market capitalization cutoff of that index, the security would not be eligible for that index. At least one share class will be eligible for inclusion in either large, mid or small size cut based on total market value of the company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Core Equity Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in earnings between reconstitutions, restatements of earnings between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Core Equity Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate action, or when the Index Calculation Agent typically applies such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Core Equity Indexes are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first business day following the "U.S. Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates. No additions are made to any of the Core Equity Indexes between annual reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies, defined below.

**Page 22 of **192**

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. A component company that is no longer primarily listed in the U.S. or that no longer conducts its Primary Business Activities in the U.S. will be removed from the Index and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Component companies that reclassify their shares (e.g., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Core Equity Index that its parent company is in until the next annual reconstitution. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and have positive cumulative earnings after four fiscal quarters of operations and meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in a Core Equity Index at the next annual reconstitution of such Index.

Index Divisor Adjustments

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

**Page 23 of **192**

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, move their Primary Business Activities outside of the U.S. or that cancel their dividends in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the U.S. reconstitution date are not included in the Core Equity Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

 **Methodology Guide for U.S. Multifactor Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree U.S. Multifactor Index [referred to as "the Index"] was developed by WisdomTree, Inc. (WT). WisdomTree U.S. Multifactor Index is comprised of 200 U.S. companies with the highest composite scores based on two fundamental factors, value and quality measures, and two technical factors, momentum and correlation.

The Index is reconstituted on a quarterly basis (following the close of trading on the eighth business day in March, June, September and December).

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent, must list shares on a U.S. stock exchange, conduct its Primary Business Activities<sup>6</sup> in the United States. Companies must have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in February, May, August, November). Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, and Business Development Companies (BDCs), preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. Companies that have pending acquisitions or mergers are excluded from the initial universe. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), is also not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

<sup>6</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 25 of **192**

Top 800 companies by market capitalization that meet the selection criteria are assigned a score for each of the following factors. Factors are equal-weighted at 25%.

1) Value Factor – determined by fundamental valuation ratios, i.e. sales to price, book to price, earnings to price, estimated earnings to price, EBITDA to enterprise value, operating cash flow to price. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

3) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

4) Low Correlation Factor – incorporates diversification potential of stocks that are less correlated to the market over historical periods (6 and 12 months).

The score for each factor is used to calculate an overall factor score that is used to rank and select the top 25% for inclusion into the Index. The highest ranking multifactor scoring companies will be selected, subject to maximum and minimum constraints on number of components within a sector in seeking sector diversification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree U.S. Multifactor Index was established with a base value of 200 on June 9, 2017.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the U.S. Multifactor Index:

![](h23_formulap26.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

**Page 26 of **192**

The Index is calculated whenever the U.S. stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The price Index and total return Indexes are calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Weighting

The WisdomTree U.S. Multifactor Index is weighted by a combination of the company overall factor score and inverse volatility over the prior 12 months.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of the third business day of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the eighth business day of the rebalance month.

The Index will be modified should the following occur. Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following capping rules are applied in this order:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 4% on the quarterly rebalance prior to the introduction
 of sector caps and the weights of all other components will be adjusted proportionally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sectors are weighted
 to be sector neutral relative to the sector weights in the starting universe.

**Page 27 of **192**

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied after the capping rules above have been applied:

A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index. The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor

/ $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the holding, sector and country weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 28 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Indexes are made at the reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the eighth business day in March, June, September and December. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Indexes are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>7</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in the Index at the next reconstitution.

<sup>7</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree indexes immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 29 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of the U.S. in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the WisdomTree U.S. Multifactor Index are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 2.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

At the International Reconstitution Date each year, the International Dividend Indexes are reconstituted, with each components' weight adjusted, if necessary, to reflect its dividend-weighting in its respective Index.

All of the International Dividend Indexes are calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested in the components of the Index. The International Dividend Indexes will be calculated using available primary market prices. The International Dividend Indexes are calculated in U.S. dollars.

Hedged Equity Indexes

For U.S. investors, international equity investments include two components of return. The first is the return attributable to stock prices in the non-U.S. market or markets in which an investment is made. The second is the return attributable to the value of non-U.S. currencies in these markets relative to U.S. dollar. Hedged Equity Indexes are designed to remove from index performance the impact of their respective currencies relative to U.S. dollar.

In this sense, the Indexes "hedge" against fluctuations in the relative value of non-

U.S. currencies against the U.S. dollar. The Indexes are designed to have higher returns than their equivalent non-currency hedged indexes when the U.S. Dollar is going up in value relative to foreign currencies. Conversely, the Indexes are designed to have lower returns than their equivalent non-hedged indexes when the U.S. dollar is falling in value relative to foreign currencies (e.g., Euro is rising relative to U.S. dollar). Calculation of the Indexes is discussed in section 2.3.

Dynamic Hedged Equity Indexes

The Dynamic Hedged Equity Indexes described above are designed to add a dynamic currency hedge that ranges from 0 to 100% for each currrency.

**Page 33 of **192**

On a monthly basis the hedge ratio for any individual currency can be adjusted to either 0.00%, 16.7%, 33.3%, 50%, 66.67%, 83.3%, or 100% and are determined by the following signals<sup>10</sup>:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Momentum:** 16.7%
 of the total hedge ratio is determined by momentum. When the one-month average of the currency's
 spot price versus U.S. dollar is weaker than that of the three-month (i.e. the targeted currency
 is depreciating), the hedge ratio of 16.7% is applied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Interest Rate Differentials:** 16.7% of the total hedge ratio is determined by measuring the difference
 in interest rates, as implied in one month FX forwards, between each currency and U.S. dollar.
 If the implied interest rate in the United States is higher than that within the targeted
 currency, a further 16.7% hedge ratio is applied for that currency on this signal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Low Volatility:** 16.7% of the total hedge ratio is determined by a volatility signal that provides unhedged
 exposure to the lowest volatility currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o The
 full 16.7% hedge ratio for this signal is applied for the top two thirds currencies with
 the highest 24-month return volatilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o There
 is no hedge ratio applied for the remaining currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Time-series momentum:** 50% of the total hedge ratio for all currencies is determined by the overall
 broad trend in the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o A
 hedge ratio of 0% is applied to all currencies if the weighted average momentum of all currencies
 is below 33% (i.e. less than 33% of the weight of the Index has a Momentum hedge signal).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o A
 hedge ratio of 50% is applied to all currencies if the weighted average momentum of all currencies
 is above 66%. (i.e. more than 66% of the weight of the Index has a Momentum hedge signal)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o A
 hedge ratio of 25% is applied to all currencies otherwise.

When the dynamic hedges are added, the Indexes are designed to have higher (or similar subject to costs) returns than their equivalent non-currency hedged indexes when U.S. Dollar is going up in value relative to foreign currencies. Conversely, the Indexes are designed to have lower (or similar subject to costs) returns than their equivalent non-hedged indexes when U.S. dollar is falling in value relative to foreign currencies (e.g., foreign currencies are rising relative to U.S. dollar). Calculation of the Indexes is discussed in section 2.3.

<sup>10</sup> Israeli Shekels (ILS) and Singapore Dollars (SGD) are hedged at 50% and Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) hedged at 0% on a monthly basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the above mentioned International Dividend Indexes, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must meet the minimum liquidity requirements established by WT. To be included in any of the International Dividend Indexes, shares of such component securities must have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the "International Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September).

In addition, companies that fall within the bottom decile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes. The composite risk factor score is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below.

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

Companies that fall within the top 5% ranked by dividend yield and also the bottom ½ of the composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion.

The score for each factor is used to calculate an overall factor score, i.e. composite risk score, that is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion.

WisdomTree applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) as determined by the third party independent calculation agent and a data point referred to as "Degree of Open Freedom" (DOF) or by WisdomTree based generally on the guiding principles set forth below. The first test of a stock's investability is determining whether the market is open to foreign institutions. The third-party calculation agent determines the extent to which and the mechanisms foreign institutions can use to buy and sell shares on local exchanges and repatriate capital, capital gains, and dividend income without undue constraint. Once determined that a market is open to foreign investors, the third-party calculation agent then investigates each security that may be a candidate for inclusion. Each class of share is reviewed to determine whether there are any corporate bylaw, corporate charter, or industry limitations on foreign ownership of the stock. The DOF is the variable that ranges from zero to one and indicates the amount of the security foreigners may legally own (0.00 indicates that none of the stock is legally available, 1.00 indicates that 100% of the shares are available). Any company with a DOF of 0 will not be eligible for the WisdomTree Indexes.

ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The selection and weighting methodology for the WisdomTree Dynamic International Equity Index is identical to the selection and weighting methodology used for the WisdomTree International Equity Index.

 <u>WisdomTree International High Dividend Index</u>

The WisdomTree International High Dividend Index comprises high dividend yielding stocks from the WisdomTree International Equity Index. In addition to being a member of this Index, companies must also have market capitalizations of at least $200 million at the International Screening Date and median daily dollar volumes of at least $200,000 for the three months prior to the International Screening Date, ranked by dividend yield.

 <u>WisdomTree True Developed International Index</u>

The WisdomTree True Developed International Index is derived by i) selecting the 300 largest companies by market capitalization from the WisdomTree International Equity Index and ii) those companies from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index with Primary Business Activities<sup>11</sup> in South Korea, Poland, and Taiwan, whose market capitalization exceeds the smallest company selected from the WisdomTree International Equity Index.

 <u>WisdomTree International MidCap Dividend Index</u>

The WisdomTree International MidCap Dividend Index is derived from the WisdomTree International Equity Index using the same selection methodology previously described for the domestic midcap dividend index.

 <u>WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index</u>

The WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index is derived from the WisdomTree International Equity Index using the same selection methodology previously described for the domestic smallcap dividend index. The selection and weighting methodology for the WisdomTree Dynamic International SmallCap Equity Index is identical to the selection and weighting methodology used for the WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index.

 <u>WisdomTree International Quality Dividend Growth Index</u>

WisdomTree International Quality Dividend Growth Index is derived from the WisdomTree International Equity Index. Component companies must list their shares on one of the major stock exchanges in Europe (*i.e.,* Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, on the major stock exchanges in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore or Israel. Companies that conduct their Primary Business Activities in Europe, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, or Singapore and have paid at least $5 million in gross cash dividends on shares of their common stock in the annual cycle prior to the annual reconstitution. Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $1 billion on the International Screening Date, earnings yield greater than the dividend yield and shares of such companies must have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the International Screening Date. Eligible companies for the WisdomTree International Quality Dividend Growth Index must not be a member of the WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Index.

<sup>11</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 37 of **192**

Eligible companies are ranked using a weighted combination of three factors: 50% weighted to the rank of medium-term estimated earnings growth, 25% weighted to the rank of the historical three-year average return on equity, and 25% weighted to the rank of the historical three-year average return on assets. Companies with negative equity and therefore undefined return on equity will be given a median score as long as they've shown dividend growth over the past 5 years. Companies classified in the Banks Industry will be ranked using a weighted combination of two factors: 50% weighted to the rank of medium-term estimated earnings growth, and 50% historical three-year average return on equity; the highest ranking 20% from the European and ex-European regions will be selected for inclusion. The rest of the 300 companies to be included will be selected by their combined ranking. Companies that lack medium-term earnings growth estimates will be eligible for the Index but their composite rank for ultimate selection in the index will be the average ranks of their Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Assets (ROA) for the purposes of stock ranking criteria. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.

In the case of Australia, gross dividends do not reflect the franking credit for Australian investors. The currency rate used to translate the dividends to U.S. dollars is the exchange rate on the screening date. Shares outstanding for the total dividend calculation are based on the shares outstanding at the time of each dividend payment.

Liquidity and market cap screens are based on the shares outstanding of the security in question for each company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the International Dividend Indexes:

![](h23_formulap43.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security I vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

 **Hedged Equity Indexes** 

The total returns for the Indexes are calculated once a day on a daily basis to remove the impact of currency and uses a WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate to do so.

**Page 43 of **192**

 **Dynamic Hedged Equity Indexes** 

The Indexes use quantitative signals to determine hedge ratios on the currency exposure on a monthly basis. Hedge ratios are varied each month between 0% and 100%. The hedged indexes—when hedge ratios are 100% — are designed to approximate the investable return available to

U.S. based investors that seek to neutralize currency fluctuations as a source of the international index returns.

Starting from the month end of April 2015, all WisdomTree Currency-Hedged Indices will be calculated using forward amounts and foreign currency weights determined one business day prior to the month end—in accordance with the standard currency hedged calculations of WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent. The precise calculation for the daily hedged currency index equals:

![](h23_formulap44.jpg)

Where Forward Rate = WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar

Spot Rate = Spot Rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar.

For each month *m,* there are *d= 1, 2, 3, ..* D calendar days so *md* is day *d* for month *m* and m0 is one business day prior to the month end of month *m-1.*

 

D=Total # days In Month

md= *d* day of Month *m*

WT_Hedged0 – previous month-end

WT_Unhedged0 – previous month-end

HedgeRet has a hedge ratio applied to it when determining what percentage of the currency is hedged. This is a ratio WisdomTree will send to the calculation agent every month.

**Page 44 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. The International Dividend Indexes are calculated every weekday.
 If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open,
 the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until
 trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing
 price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens,
 its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index
 values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The price
 and total return Indexes are calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 45 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. Weighting

The International Dividend Indexes are modified capitalization-weighted indices that employ a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that dividends play in the total return of the Indexes. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar value of the company's annual gross dividend per share by the number of common shares outstanding for that company, "The Cash Dividend Factor." <sup>15</sup> The Cash Dividend Factor is calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the International Weighting Date, is equal to its Cash Dividend Factor divided by the sum of all Cash Dividend Factors for all the components in that Index. The dividend stream will be adjusted for constituents with dividend yields greater than 12% at the screening date. The dividend stream of these capped securities will be their market cap multiplied by 12%. The International Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "International Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

For the size segment dividend indexes (total, large, mid and small caps) and high dividend cuts of the market, companies that fall within the top two deciles of the composite risk factor will have their dividend stream multiplied by 1.5 while all other dividends will remain unadjusted.

Companies will be weighted in the index based on this adjusted dividend stream.

All Indexes will be modified should the following occur. Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and the weight of all other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

<sup>15</sup> Special Dividends are not included in the computation of Index weights.

**Page 46 of **192**

The capping rules described below are applied concurrently and, in a manner, designed to seek to minimize deviation from a component's initial or intended weighting in an Index.

The following capping rule applies to all International Dividend Indexes, unless specified otherwise below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any country
 achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the indexes, the weight of companies will
 be reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the Indexes, weight of companies
 will be reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date. Real Estate sector will be capped
 at 15%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a component company's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted
 version of the Index exceed 5x or fall below 0.20x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 5x or 0.20x thresholds, respectively.

For the International Equity Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Financials sector
 will be capped at 20%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 weighted average WisdomTree Style Score of the Index should be at least 15 (see Appendix
 A for details).

For the International High Dividend Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 5% on the annual rebalance, prior to the implementation
 of the sector and country caps, and the weights of all other components will be adjusted.

**Page 47 of **192**

For the International Quality Dividend Growth Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Country exposures
 will be adjusted to remain within +/- 5% of the market capitalization weight of the initial
 universe of eligible securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sector exposures will
 be adjusted to remain within +/- 10% of the market capitalization weight of the initial universe
 of eligible securities.

For the Europe Equity Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 5% on the annual rebalance prior to the introduction
 of country and sector caps.

For the Europe SmallCap Equity Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 of any individual security is capped at 2% on the annual rebalance prior to the introduction
 of country and sector caps.

For the Europe SmallCap Dividend Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any country
 achieve a weight equal to or greater than 30% of the indexes, the weight of companies will
 be reduced to 30% as of the annual Screening Date.

For the Japan Dividend Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 5% on the annual rebalance, prior
 to the implementation of the sector caps, and the weights of all other components will be
 adjusted.

**Page 48 of **192**

For the Japan SmallCap Dividend Index and Japan SmallCap Equity Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 2% on the annual rebalance, prior
 to the implementation of the sector caps, and the weights of all other components will be
 adjusted.

For the Europe Quality Dividend Growth Index, the following capping rules apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 5% on the annual rebalance, prior
 to the implementation of the sector caps, and the weights of all other components will be
 adjusted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Country exposures
 will be adjusted to remain within +/- 5% of the market capitalization weight of the initial
 universe of eligible securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Sector exposures will
 be adjusted to remain within +/- 10% of the market capitalization weight of the initial universe
 of eligible securities.

The weights of individual components or groups of components may fluctuate above or below the specified caps during the year intra annual rebalance dates. The weights will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all Indexes after the capping rules described above have been applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A further volume screen
 requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months
 preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200
 million to be eligible for each index. In the case of the Japan SmallCap Dividend Index and
 Japan SmallCap Equity Index, the calculated volume factor shall be greater than $100 million.
 If a security's volume factor falls below $200 million or $100 million for the Japan
 SmallCap Dividend Index and the Japan SmallCap Equity Index at the annual screening, but
 is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index. The securities' weight will
 be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400
 million.

**Page 49 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In the event a security
 has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months
 / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that
 weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400
 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the holdings, sector
 and country weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· For the Europe SmallCap
 Dividend Index, in the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume
 traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $200 million,
 its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment
 x calculated volume factor / $200 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause
 an increase in the holdings, sector and country weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index.<sup>16</sup> However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 Multiple Share Classes

<sup>16</sup> For the International total return indexes, where information is available about both gross and net dividends, the Indexes assume re-investment of net dividends.

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, each class of share will be included in any broad-based Index, provided that dividends are paid on that share of stock. In the event such a component company qualified for inclusion in the "High Dividend" or Dividend ex-Financial select cuts from these broad-based Indexes, only the share class of that company with the highest dividend yield would be selected for inclusion. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index. For all Mid and Small cap cuts, if a security has multiple listed share classes and the total market capitalization of the listed share classes is greater than largest market capitalization cutoff of that index, the security would not be eligible for that index. At least one share class will be eligible for inclusion in either large, mid or small size cut based on total market value of the company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the International Dividend Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the International Dividend Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions.

Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the International Dividend Indexes are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first day following the closing of trading on the International Reconstitution Date. No additions are made to any of the International Dividend Indexes between annual reconstitutions.

**Page 51 of **192**

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that cancels its dividend payment is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>17</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company and pay a regular cash dividend, it will be ineligible for inclusion in the International Dividend Indexes until the next annual reconstitution, provided it meets all other Index eligibility requirements. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO), pay a regular cash dividend, and meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in an International Dividend Index at the next annual reconstitution.

Index Divisor Adjustments

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

<sup>17</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree indexes immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 52 of **192**

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country or that cancel their dividends in the intervening weeks between the International Screening Date and the International Reconstitution Date are not included in the International Dividend Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Selection Parameters for International Dividend Indexes</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Selection parameters for the WisdomTree International Dividend
 Indexes are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass the selection criteria as of the
 International Screening Date are included in Indexes. The component companies are assigned
 weights in the Indexes as defined in section 2.4., and annual reconstitution of the Indexes
 takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

 **Methodology Guide for Emerging Market Dividend Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT) created a family of international indexes that track the performance of dividend-paying companies in emerging markets presently consisting of the: WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index ("EMDI"), the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Index ("EMDI HDI"), and the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index ("EMSC").

The emerging market indexes described above are referred to collectively as the "Emerging Market Dividend Indexes."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The WisdomTree
 Emerging Markets Dividend Index measures the stock performance of companies that pay regular
 cash dividends on shares of common stock with market capitalizations of at least $200 million
 at the Emerging Market Screening Date and median daily dollar volumes of at least $200,000
 for each of the six months prior to the Emerging Markets Screening Date and that conduct
 their Primary Business Activities<sup>18</sup> in the following 18 emerging market nations:
 Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico,
 Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia ("Emerging
 Market Countries"). Securities must have positive earnings over the past year and have
 paid at least $5 million in gross cash dividends on shares of their common stock in the annual
 cycle prior to the annual reconstitution in October. In the case of China, only companies
 that are incorporated or domiciled in China and that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange
 are eligible for inclusion. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction
 limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Local exchange shares
 are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Russia, which include only
 American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Passive foreign
 investment companies (PFICs) are excluded, as are limited partnerships, limited liability
 companies, royalty trusts, preferred stock, rights, and other derivative securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The WisdomTree
 Emerging Markets High Dividend Index is a fundamentally weighted index that measures the
 performance of high dividend yield stocks within the emerging markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The WisdomTree
 Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index is a fundamentally weighted index that measures
 the performance of primarily small cap stocks selected from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets
 Dividend Index. Companies are weighted in the Index based on annual cash dividends paid.

<sup>18</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 54 of **192**

In October of each year, the Emerging Market Dividend Indexes are reconstituted, with each components' weight adjusted, if necessary, to reflect its dividend-weighting in its respective Index.

Each Index is calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested in the components of the Index. Each Index is calculated using available primary market prices. Each Index is calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the above mentioned Emerging Market Dividend Indexes, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must meet the minimal liquidity requirements established by WT. To be included in any of the Emerging Market indexes, shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the "Emerging Market Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September).

In the case of EMDI, EMDI HDI, and EMSC component companies must have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudia Arabia. Securities must conduct their Primary Business Activities in one of these Emerging Market Countries and have paid at least $5 million in gross cash dividends on shares of their common stock in the annual cycle prior to the annual reconstitution in October. In the case of China, only companies that are incorporated or domiciled in China and that trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are eligible for inclusion. In addition, approximately 100 largest Chinese domestic listed companies by dividend market capitalization that are part of the connect program and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion in the Emerging Markets Dividend Index. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Local exchange shares are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Russia, which include only American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).

**Page 55 of **192**

Securities must have a market capitalization of at least $200 million on the "Emerging Market Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September) and securities need to have had a median daily trading dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Emerging Market Screening Date. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs or GDRs are eligible in Russia but no other country. Security types that are excluded from the index are: Limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights.

In addition, companies that fall within the bottom decile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion in the Emerging Markets Dividend Indexes. The composite risk factor score is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below.

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

Companies that fall within the top 5% ranked by dividend yield and also the bottom ½ of the composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion.

The screening and weighting for the eligible Chinese domestic listed companies will follow the same logic but will be done separately from the rest of the eligible companies. Chinese domestic listed companies that don't have enough data to compute a composite risk score will still be eligible for inclusion if they meet other screens but will receive a median score for weighting purposes.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Index is derived from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index. Companies are ranked by dividend yield as of the index measurement date. Companies ranking in the top 30% by highest dividend yield are selected for new additions to the index. In addition, approximately 100 Chinese domestic listed companies by highest dividend yield that are part of the connect program and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion.

To be deleted from the index, companies must rank outside of the top 35% by dividend yield.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index is derived from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index. New additions to the index are those companies that rank in the bottom 10% of total market capitalization of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index as of the Emerging Market Screening Date. In addition, approximately 100 largest Chinese domestic listed companies that are part of the connect program and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion based on bottom 10% market capitalization cutoff of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index without A shares. To be deleted from the index, companies must rank outside of the bottom 13% of total market capitalization of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index as of the Emerging Market Screening Date.

**Page 56 of **192**

WisdomTree applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors), as determined by the third party independent calculation agent, and a data point referred to as "Degree of Open Freedom" (DOF) or by WisdomTree based generally on the guiding principles set forth below. The first test of a stock's investability is determining whether the market is open to foreign institutions. The third-party independent calculation agent determines the extent to which and the mechanisms foreign institutions can use to buy and sell shares on local exchanges and repatriate capital, capital gains, and dividend income without undue constraint. Once determined that a market is open to foreign investors, the third-party independent calculation agent then investigates each security that may be a candidate for inclusion. Each class of share is reviewed to determine whether there are any corporate bylaw, corporate charter, or industry limitations on foreign ownership of the stock. The DOF is the variable that ranges from zero to one and indicates the amount of the security foreigners may legally own (0.00 indicates that none of the stock is legally available, 1.00 indicates that 100% of the shares are available). Any company with a DOF of 0 will not be eligible for the WisdomTree Indexes.

For purposes of both selection and weighting the following definitions would apply:

Gross Cash Dividends are based on dividends paid over latest annual cycle as determined by the ex-date of the dividends. The currency rate used to translate the dividends to U.S. dollars is the exchange rate on the screening date. Shares outstanding for the total dividend calculation are based on the shares outstanding at the time of each dividend payment.

Liquidity and market cap screens are based on the shares outstanding of the security in question for each company.

**Page 57 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. Base Date and Base Value

A base value for the WisdomTree Emerging Market Dividend Index was set at 300 on the close of trading on May 31, 2007. A base value for the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend Index was set at 200 at the close of trading on May 31, 2007. A base value for the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index was set at 100 at the close of trading on May 31, 2007.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Emerging Markets Indexes:

![](h23_formulap58.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD,

Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Emerging Market Dividend Indexes are calculated every weekday. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4. Weighting

The Emerging Market Dividend Indexes are modified capitalization-weighted indices that employ a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that dividends play in the total return of the Indexes.

The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar value of the security's annual dividend per share by the number of common shares outstanding for that security, "The Cash Dividend Factor." The Cash Dividend Factor includes multiplying the same two factors above by a third factor developed by Standard & Poor's called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the dividends generated of each company by factors that impose restrictions on shares available to be purchased. The Cash Dividend Factor is calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the International Weighting Date, is equal to its Cash Dividend Factor divided by the sum of all Cash Dividend Factors for all the components in that Index. The dividend stream will be adjusted for constituents with dividend yields greater than 12% at the screening date. The dividend stream of these capped securities will be their market cap multiplied by 12%.

**Page 58 of **192**

For the size segment dividend indexes (total, large, mid and small caps) and high dividend cuts of the market, companies that fall within the top two deciles of the composite risk factor will have their dividend stream multiplied by 1.5 while all other dividends will remain unadjusted.

Companies will be weighted in the index based on this adjusted dividend stream.

With the objective of managing turnover for the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index, current constituents whose initial weight at rebalance is within +/- 0.20% of their current Index weight, will not be adjusted and will maintain their current weight at rebalance.

The Emerging Market Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date.

New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

All Indexes will be modified should the following occur. Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and all other components in the Index will be rebalanced.

Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced proportionately so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and all other components in the Index will be rebalanced in proportion to their index weightings before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The capping rules described below are applied concurrently and, in a manner, designed to seek to minimize deviation from a component's initial or intended weighting in an Index.

The following capping rule applies to the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Indexes, unless specified otherwise below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any country
 achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the index, the weight of companies will
 be reduced to 25% as of the annual Emerging Market Screening Date. Chinese domestic stock
 market exposure will be treated separately and will be capped at 5%.

**Page 59 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should any sector
 achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the index, the weight of companies will
 be reduced to 25% as of the annual Emerging Market Screening Date. Real Estate sector will
 be capped at 15%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should the ratio of
 a component company's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization weighted
 version of the Index exceed 10x or fall below 0.1x, the weight of the company will be reduced
 or increased to meet the 10x or 0.1x thresholds, respectively.

For the Emerging Markets High Dividend Index the following capping rules are applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The maximum weight
 in the top held security will be capped at 5% prior to the implementation of the sector and
 country caps.

The weights of individual components or groups of components may fluctuate above or below the specified caps during the year intra annual rebalance dates. The weights will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all Indexes after the capping rules described above have been applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A further volume screen
 requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months
 preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200
 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200
 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index.
 The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to
 its volume factor divided by $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In the event a security
 has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months
 / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that
 weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400
 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the sector and
 country weights above the specified caps.

**Page 60 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5. Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends from non-operating income require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, each class of share will be included in any broad-based Index, provided that dividends are paid on that share of stock and that the stock passes all other inclusion requirements. In the event such a component company qualified for inclusion in the "High Dividend" cut from these broad-based Indexes, the share class of that company with the greater liquidity, based on the average daily trading volume as described in section 2.1, would be selected for inclusion. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index. For the Small cap cuts, if a security has multiple listed share classes and the total market capitalization of the listed share classes is greater than largest market capitalization cutoff of that index, the security would not be eligible for that index. For Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index, the market capitalization of Chinese domestic listed equities will be considered for companies with multiple share classes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, corporate restructurings, spin-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the component companies in the Emerging Market Dividend Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, require index divisor adjustments as well. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 61 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Emerging Market Dividend Indexes are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first trading day following the "Emerging Market and Global Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates. No additions are made to any of the Emerging Market Dividend Indexes between annual reconstitutions.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that cancels its dividend payment is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a company moves their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country, it will be removed from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company and pay a regular cash dividend, it will be ineligible for inclusion in the Emerging Market Indexes until the next annual reconstitution, provided it meets all other Index eligibility requirements. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO), and that pay a regular cash dividend, and that meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in an Emerging Market Index at the next annual reconstitution of such Index

**Page 62 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Corporate actions may affect the share capital of component stocks and therefore trigger increases or decreases in the Index value. To avoid distortion, the divisor is adjusted accordingly. Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country or that cancel their dividends in the intervening weeks between the Emerging Markets Screening Date and the Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date are not included in the Emerging Market Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters for Emerging Market Indexes</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1 Selection parameters for the **WisdomTreeSM Emerging Markets Dividend Index** are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass this
 selection criteria as of the Emerging Market Screening Date are included in the Index. The
 component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 2.4., and annual
 reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.2 Selection parameters for the **WisdomTreeSM Emerging Markets High Dividend Index** are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass
 this selection criteria as of the Emerging Market Screening Date are included in the Index.
 A company will only be deleted from the index if its dividend yield ranking falls outside
 of the top 35% of companies. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as
 defined in section 2.4., and annual reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in
 section 3.1.

 **Methodology Guide for ex-State-Owned Enterprises Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT) has created the WisdomTree Emerging Markets–ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index, the WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index, and the WisdomTree True Emerging Markets Index [referred to as "the Indexes"].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 WisdomTree Emerging Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index is comprised of emerging market
 stocks that are not state-owned enterprises. State owned enterprises are defined as government
 ownership of more than 20% of a company's shares outstanding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index is derived from the WisdomTree Emerging
 Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index and is comprised of Chinese companies that are not
 state owned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 WisdomTree True Emerging Markets Index is derived from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets ex-State-Owned
 Enterprises Index and is comprised emerging market stocks that are not listed or incorporated
 in China, Taiwan or Korea and that are not state owned.

The Indexes are modified float-adjusted market capitalization weighted and are reconstituted annually in October of each year. "Float-adjusted" means that the share amounts used in calculating the Indexes reflect only shares available to investors.

Each of the Indexes is calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the components of the Indexes. Each The Indexes is are calculated using available primary market prices. The Indexes are calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree Emerging Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent, must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>19</sup> and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudia Arabia. Companies that are domiciled or incorporated in China and trading primarily on a U.S. stozck exchange are also eligible for inclusion. In addition, one hundred largest Chinese domestic companies by float adjusted market capitalization that are part of the connect program and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion<sup>20</sup>. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. In all other cases, local exchange shares are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Argentina and Russia, which includes only American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Limited partnerships are excluded, as are limited liability companies, royalty trusts, preferred stock, rights, and other derivative securities.

<sup>19</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>20</sup> Chinese domestic listed equities were added during the special reconstitution in August 2017, in lieu of the annual reconstitution in October

**Page 65 of **192**

To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index, component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities in China and have their shares listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Companies that conduct their Primary Business Activities in China and trading primarily on a U.S. stock exchange are also eligible for inclusion. In addition, one hundred largest Chinese domestic companies by float adjusted market capitalization that are part of the connect program and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion.

To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree True Emerging Markets Index component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudia Arabia. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. In all other cases, local exchange shares are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Argentina and Russia, which includes only American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Limited partnerships are excluded, as are limited liability companies, royalty trusts, preferred stock, rights, and other derivative securities.

To be eligible for inclusion in the Indexes, component companies must meet the minimum liquidity requirements established by WT. To be included in the Indexes, shares of such component securities need to have a float-adjusted market capitalization of at least $1 billion as of the Index "Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September). Companies must have an average daily trading volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the Index Screening Date and trading of at least either 250,000 shares per month or $25 million notional for each of the six months preceding the Index Screening Date.

**Page 66 of **192**

WT applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors), as determined by the third party independent calculation agent, and a data point referred to as "Degree of Open Freedom" (DOF) or by WT based generally on the guiding principles set forth below. The first test of a stock's investability is determining whether the market is open to foreign institutions. The third party independent calculation agent determines the extent to which and the mechanisms foreign institutions can use to buy and sell shares on local exchanges and repatriate capital, capital gains, and dividend income without undue constraint. Once determined that a market is open to foreign investors, the third party independent calculation agent then investigates each security that may be a candidate for inclusion. Each class of share is reviewed to determine whether there are any corporate bylaw, corporate charter, or industry limitations on foreign ownership of the stock. The DOF is the variable that ranges from zero to one and indicates the amount of the security foreigners may legally own (0.00 indicates that none of the stock is legally available, 1.00 indicates that 100% of the shares are available). Any company with a DOF of 0 will not be eligible for the Indexes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Base Date and Base Value

WisdomTree Emerging Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index was established with a base value of 200 on August 15, 2014. The first annual reconstitution took place in 2015.

WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index was established with a base value of 200 on March 31, 2015.

WisdomTree True Emerging Markets Index was established with a base value of 200 on May 2, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Indexes:

![](h23_formulap67.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

**Page 67 of **192**

The Indexes are calculated every weekday. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Indexes. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The Price and total return Indexes are calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Weighting

The companies in the Indexes are weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. "Float-adjusted" means that the share amounts used in calculating the Index reflect only shares available to investors. Shares held by control groups, public companies and government agencies are excluded. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is derived by multiplying the company's market capitalization by a second factor developed by Standard & Poor's called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the market capitalization of each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased. This "Float-adjusted Factor" is calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the Weighting Date, is equal to its Float-adjusted Factor divided by the sum of all Float-adjusted Factors for all the components in that Index. The Emerging Market Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

All Indexes will be modified should the following occur. Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and the weights of all other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally. For the WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index, should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 20% of the Index, its weighting will be reduced at the close of the current calendar quarter to the initial 10% cap, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced.

**Page 68 of **192**

Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following capping and weight re-distribution rules are applied in this order:

WisdomTree Emerging Markets ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 country weights after the State-Owned Enterprises have been removed will be adjusted by a
 Country Factor such that the float-adjusted market capitalization weights equal the float-adjusted
 market capitalization of the universe prior to the State-Owned Enterprises being removed.
 The Country Factor of the universe prior to the removal of State-Owned Enterprises is calculated
 including 10% of China A shares' float-adjusted market capitalization. The maximum
 Country Factor is set at 3.0, or no country's weight can be increased more than 3x
 after state owned enterprises have been removed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· After
 the previous country adjustment is implemented, should any sector have a weight that is 3%
 higher or lower than its original starting universe float-adjusted market capitalization
 weight, its weight will be adjusted by a factor to 3% higher or lower than its original starting
 universe weight.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Chinese
 domestic stock market exposure will be capped at 7.5% and any additional weight will be distributed
 proportionally among China H shares.

WisdomTree China ex-State-Owned Enterprises Index

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight in the top held security will be capped at 10% prior to the implementation
 of the sector caps. Security caps are implemented at a company level, not share class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Chinese domestic stock
 market exposure will be capped at 33%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 30% of the Indexes, weight of companies
 will be proportionally reduced to 30% as of the annual Screening Date.

**Page 69 of **192**

Should any sector or domestic market exposure exceed their initial cap by more than 5%, the said capping rule will be reapplied at the end of the process.

WisdomTree True Emerging Markets Index

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any country achieve a weight equal to or greater than 35% of the index, the weight of companies
 will be reduced to 35% as of the annual Screening Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight in the top held security will be capped at 5%. Security caps are implemented
 at a company level, not share class.

The weights of individual components or groups of components may fluctuate above or below the specified caps during the year intra annual rebalance dates. The weights will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all the Indexes after the capping rules described above top holding, country and sector caps have been applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume
 for three months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be
 greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor
 falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will
 remain in the Index. The security's weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment
 factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In
 the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the
 preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight
 will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated
 volume factor / $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase
 in the sector and country weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index.<sup>21</sup> However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

<sup>21</sup> For the International total return indexes, where information is available about both gross and net dividends, the Indexes assume re-investment of net dividends.

**Page 70 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, each class of share will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, and increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

IWF Changes

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) The timing of adjustments to share counts or investable weight factors depends on the event causing the change, the public availability of source data, local market practices, and whether the change is larger than 5% of the float-adjusted share count.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2) Changes of less than 5% of the float-adjusted shares are accumulated and made quarterly on the third Friday of March, June, September and December.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) Changes to the Index constituent's float-adjusted shares of 5% or more:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Changes
 due to mergers or acquisitions of publicly held companies are implemented when the transaction
 occurs, even if both of the companies are not in the same headline index, and regardless
 of the size of the change. The share change is applied so that it coincides with the deletion
 date of the target company if both the acquirer and the target are in the same Index.

**Page 71 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Changes
 due to secondary public offerings (also known as placements), tender offers, Dutch auctions,
 exchange offers, bought deal equity offerings, or prospectus offerings are done as soon as
 reasonably possible after the data are verified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Other
 changes of 5% or more (for example, due to company stock repurchases, private placements,
 redemptions, exercise of options, warrants, conversion of preferred stock, notes, debt, equity
 participations, at-the-market stock offerings or other recapitalizations) are made weekly.

If a 5% or more change in shares outstanding causes a company's IWF to change by 5 percentage points or more, the IWF is updated at the same time as the share change. IWF changes resulting from partial tender offers are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Exception: when total shares outstanding increase by more than 5%, but the new share issuance is directed to a strategic or major shareholder, it implies that there is no change in float-adjusted shares. However, in such instances, total shares outstanding and resulting IWF change will be implemented regardless of whether the float-adjusted shares change by more than 5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first trading day following the "Emerging Market and Global Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates. No additions are made to the Indexes between annual reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain

spin-off companies, defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>22</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

<sup>22</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree indexes immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WTI reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 72 of **192**

WT applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) as determined by WT, generally based on the principles set forth above describing index eligibility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it will be ineligible for inclusion in the indexes that its parent company is in until the next annual reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same Indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components will be adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and meet all other eligibility requirements may be considered for inclusion in the Indexes at the next annual reconstitution.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy or re-incorporate outside of a defined domicile in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

**Page 73 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Indexes are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass this selection criterion as of the Screening Date are included in the Indexes. The component companies are assigned weights in the Indexes as defined in section 2.4., and annual reconstitution of the Indexes takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

 **METHODOLOGY GUIDE FOR INDIA EARNINGS INDEX**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

Wisdomtree, Inc. (WT) has created indexes that track the performance of earnings-generating companies in emerging markets, presently consisting of the WisdomTree India Earnings Index ("IEI"). The WisdomTree India Earnings Index measures the stock performance of companies incorporated in India that pass WT's selection, liquidity and market capitalization requirements. The IEI is reconstituted annually on the "India Reconstitution Date", with each components' weight adjusted based on the earnings generated by each component company, adjusted for an investable weighting factor that takes into account shares available to be purchased by foreign investors.

The India Earnings Index is calculated to seek to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested in the components of the Index. The IEI is calculated using available primary market prices. The IEI is calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The WisdomTree India Earnings Index
 is overseen by the WisdomTree India Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing
 index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee
 will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad
 decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration
 of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented
 correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as
 determined by the Committee. Furthermore, the Committee may determine to rebalance the Index
 more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from underlying
 earnings, or other similar circumstances.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on an annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index, and may be held more frequently as circumstances require.

The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the IEI, component companies must be covered by WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent and must meet the minimal liquidity requirements established by WT. To be included in the IEI, shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the "Screening Date" for the India Earnings Index (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November).

**Page 75 of **192**

Eligible component companies must have their shares listed on the Bombay (Mumbai) Stock Exchange, must be incorporated in India and have earned at least $5 million in the 12 months prior to the annual reconstitution in November. Only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Companies need to have a market capitalization of at least $200 million on the "Indian Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November); shares of such companies need to have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Indian Screening Date; components need to have had a P/E ratio of at least 2 as of the Indian Screening Date. Common stocks, tracking stocks and holding companies, including real estate holding companies, are eligible for inclusion. Security types that are excluded from the index are: limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies (PFICS), ADRs, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Base Date and Base Value

The base value for the IEI was set at 200, as of November 30, 2007.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the India Earnings Index:

![](h23_formulap76.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Index is calculated every weekday. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 76 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. Weighting

The IEI is a modified capitalization-weighted index that employs a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that earnings play in the total return of the Index. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is based on reported net income in the most recent 12 months prior to the annual reconstitution. The reported net income number is then multiplied by a second factor developed by the third party independent calculation agent called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the earnings generated for each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased. This "Earnings Factor" is then calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the "India Weighting Date" (defined below) for the India Earnings Index, is equal to its Earnings Factor divided by the sum of all Earnings Factors for all the components in that Index. The Weighting Date for the India Earnings Index is when component weights are set, it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New Component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "India Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

The Index will be modified should the following occur. Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced.

Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced proportionately so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced in proportion to their index weightings before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following capping rules are applied:

1) Should any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the Index, weight of companies will be proportionally reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date.

**Page 77 of **192**

2) A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date/ weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index. The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

3) In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the sector weights above the specified caps.

The weights may fluctuate above the specified caps during the year but will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5. Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends from non-operating income require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6. Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple share classes of common stock, the most liquid share class will be included in the Index. Conversion of a share class into another share class not in the Index results in the conversion of the share class being phased out into the surviving share class.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, corporate restructurings, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the component companies in IEI. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in earnings between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies of the IEI. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, may require index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions, or when the Index Calculation Agent typically applies such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 78 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the IEI are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading the day following the "India Reconstitution Date". No additions are made to the IEI between annual reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain Spin-Off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a company re-incorporates outside of a defined domicile it is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company it is allowed to stay in the IEI until the next annual reconstitution. The weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next annual reconstitution to be included in the IEI.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed or that re-incorporate outside of a defined domicile in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date for the India Earnings Index are not included in the IEI, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters for the WisdomTree India Earnings Index</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.1 Selection parameters for the **WisdomTree India Earnings Index** are defined in section 3.1 Companies that pass this selection criterion
 as of the Screening Date for the India Earnings Index are included in the Index. The component
 companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and annual reconstitution
 of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **METHODOLOGY GUIDE FOR INDIA EQUITY INDEX**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree India Equity Index [referred to as "IEQ"] was developed by WisdomTree, Inc. (WT). The WisdomTree India Equity Index measures the stock performance of the 75 largest companies incorporated in India that pass WT's selection, liquidity and market capitalization requirements. The IEQ is reconstituted annually on the "India Reconstitution Date", with each components' weight adjusted based on its float-adjusted market capitalization, adjusted for an investable weighting factor that takes into account shares available to be purchased by foreign investors.

The India Equity Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The IEQ is calculated using primary market prices. The IEQ is calculated in U.S. dollars. The WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Index [referred to as "IEH"] is designed to remove from index performance the impact of changes to the value of Indian Rupee relative to U.S. dollar.

The Index is reconstituted on an annual basis<sup>23</sup>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. The WisdomTree India Equity and
 WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Indexes are overseen by the WisdomTree India Index Committee
 (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"),
 ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible
 for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation
 and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the
 Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index
 composition shall be as determined by the Committee. Furthermore, the Committee may determine
 to rebalance each Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in
 exposure away from certain sectors, or other similar circumstances.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on an annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index, and may be held more frequently as circumstances require.

The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions.

<sup>23</sup> Annual rebalance commencing September 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the IEQ, component companies must be covered by WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent and must meet the minimal liquidity requirements established by WT. To be included in the IEQ, shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the "Screening Date" for the India Equity Index (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November).

Eligible component companies must have their shares listed on the Bombay (Mumbai) Stock Exchange and must be incorporated in India. Only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Companies need to have a market capitalization of at least $200 million on the "Indian Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November); shares of such companies need to have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Indian Screening Date. Common stocks, tracking stocks and holding companies, including real estate holding companies, are eligible for inclusion.

Security types that are excluded from the index are: limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies (PFICS), ADRs, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights.

The top 75 companies by market capitalization that meet the selection criteria are selected as Index constituents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree India Equity Index and WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Index were established with a base value of 200 on February 29, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the WisdomTree India Equity Index:

![](h23_formulap82.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

**Page 82 of **192**

The WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Index is designed to approximate the investable return available to U.S. based investors that seek to neutralize fluctuations on the Indian Rupee (INR). The total returns for the Index is calculated once a day on a daily basis to remove the impact of currency and uses a WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate to do so.

The WisdomTree India Hedged Equity Index will be calculated using forward amounts and foreign currency weights determined one business day prior to the month end—in accordance with the standard currency hedged calculations of WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent. The precise calculation for the daily hedged currency index equals:

![](h23_formulap83.jpg)

Where Forward Rate = WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar

Spot Rate = Spot Rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar.

For each month *m,* there are *d= 1, 2, 3, ..* D calendar days so *md* is day *d* for month *m* and *m0* is one business day prior to the month end of month *m-1.*

 

D=Total # days In Month

md= *d* day of Month *m*

WT_Hedged0 – previous month-end

WT_Unhedged0 – previous month-end

The Indexes are calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 83 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4. Weighting

The WisdomTree India Equity Index is weighted by float-adjusted market capitalization. "Float-adjusted" means that the share amounts used in calculating the Index reflect only shares available to investors. Shares held by control groups, public companies and government agencies are excluded. The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is derived by multiplying the company's market capitalization by a second factor developed by Standard & Poor's called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the market capitalization of each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased. This "Float-adjusted Factor" is calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the "India Weighting Date" (defined below), is equal to its Float-adjusted Factor divided by the sum of all Float-adjusted Factors for all the components in that Index. The India Weighting Date is when component weights are set and it occurs after the close of trading on the relevant date. The changes take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "India Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 10% on the annual rebalance and the
 weights of all other components will be adjusted proportionally.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 30% of the Index's, weight of
 companies will be proportionally reduced to 30%.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied:

A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date/ weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will remain in the Index. The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

**Page 84 of **192**

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase in the sector weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, corporate restructurings, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the component companies in IEQ. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies of the IEQ. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, may require index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions, or when the Index Calculation Agent typically applies such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 85 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the IEQ are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading the day following the "India Reconstitution Date". No additions are made to the IEQ between annual reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain Spin-Off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a company re-incorporates outside of a defined domicile it is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company it is allowed to stay in the IEQ until the next annual reconstitution. The weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next annual reconstitution to be included in the IEQ.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

**Page 86 of **192**

Companies that are acquired, de-listed or that re-incorporate outside of a defined domicile in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date for the India Equity Index are not included in the IEQ, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the WisdomTree India Equity Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass this selection criterion as of the Screening Date for the India Equity Index are included in the Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4, and annual reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **Methodology Guide for Global Dividend Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree Global Dividend Indexes were developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WT") to measure the performance of dividend-paying stocks in the global markets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Global Dividend
 Index comprises companies included in the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index, which measures the performance
of dividend paying companies in the United States; and the WisdomTree Global ex-U.S. Dividend Index, which measures the performance of
dividend-paying companies in developed and emerging markets outside the U.S.

The Global High Dividend Index comprises high dividend yielding stocks from the WisdomTree Global Dividend Index. In addition to being a member of this Index, companies must also have a market capitalization of at least $2 billion as of the Screening Date (defined below) to be eligible for the Index. Each Index is reconstituted annually, at which time each component's weight is adjusted to reflect its dividend-weighting in the Index. Dividend weighting is generally defined as each component's cash dividends paid in the prior annual cycle divided by the sum of the cash dividends paid by all the components in the Index over the same period. This quotient is the percentage weight assigned to each component in the Index at the annual reconstitution. Each of the Indexes is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Indexes. The Indexes are calculated using primary market prices.

For U.S. investors, international equity investments include two components of return. The first is the return attributable to stock prices in the non-U.S. market or markets in which an investment is made. The second is the return attributable to the value of non-U.S. currencies in these markets relative to U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be included in the WisdomTree Global Dividend Index, companies must be included in one of the following WisdomTree indexes:

1) The WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index: (United States)

2) The WisdomTree Global ex-U.S. Dividend Index: (Developed World, outside the U.S., and Emerging Markets)

**Page 88 of **192**

The selection methodologies for these indexes are listed below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a. <u>WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Index:</u> 

To be eligible for inclusion in the Domestic Dividend Indexes, a company must list its shares on a U.S. stock exchange, conduct its Primary Business Activities<sup>24</sup> in the United States and pay regular cash dividends on shares of its common stock. Companies need to have a market capitalization of at least $100 million by the "Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in November) and shares of such companies need to have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the Screening Date. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are excluded, as are limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, and Business Development Companies (BDCs). Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.<sup>25</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b. <u>WisdomTree Global ex-U.S. Dividend Index:</u> 

In the developed world, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent and must list their shares on one of the stock exchanges in Europe (*i.e.,* Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, or on stock exchanges in Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. Companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities in Europe, Israel, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada and have paid at least $5 million in gross cash dividends on shares of their common stock in the annual cycle prior to the annual reconstitution. Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $100 million on the "Global Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September) and shares of such companies must have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the Global Screening Date. Shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the Global Screening Date. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.

<sup>24</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>25</sup> Mortgage REITs are not eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree Domestic and International Dividend Indexes.

**Page 89 of **192**

In the developing world, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent and must have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudia Arabia. Securities must conduct their Primary Business Activities in one of these Emerging Market Countries and have positive earnings over the past year. In the case of China, companies that are incorporated or domiciled in China and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are eligible for inclusion. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Companies must have paid at least $5 million in gross cash dividends on shares of their common stock in the annual cycle prior to the annual reconstitution in October. Securities need to have a market capitalization of at least $200 million on the "Global Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in September) and securities need to have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Global Screening Date. Shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the Global Screening Date. Local exchange shares are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Russia, which include only American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs or GDRs are eligible in Russia but no other country. Security types that are excluded from the index are: Limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights.

In addition, companies that fall within the bottom decile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion in the Global Dividend Index. The composite risk factor score is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Indexes. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below.

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

Companies that fall within the top 5% ranked by dividend yield and also the bottom ½ of the composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion.

**Page 90 of **192**

WisdomTree applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors), as determined by the third party independent calculation agent, and a data point referred to as "Degree of Open Freedom" (DOF) or by WisdomTree based generally on the guiding principles set forth below. The first test of a stock's investability is determining whether the market is open to foreign institutions. The third party independent calculation agent determines the extent to which and the mechanisms foreign institutions can use to buy and sell shares on local exchanges and repatriate capital, capital gains, and dividend income without undue constraint. Once determined that a market is open to foreign investors, the calculation agent then investigates each security that may be a candidate for inclusion. Each class of share is reviewed to determine whether there are any corporate bylaw, corporate charter, or industry limitations on foreign ownership of the stock. The DOF is the variable that ranges from zero to one and indicates the amount of the security foreigners may legally own (0.00 indicates that none of the stock is legally available, 1.00 indicates that 100% of the shares are available). Any company with a DOF of 0 will not be eligible for the WisdomTree Indexes.

 <u>WisdomTree Global High Dividend Index</u>

The Global High Dividend Index comprises high dividend yielding stocks from the WisdomTree Global Dividend Index. In addition to being a member of this Index, companies must also have a market capitalization of at least $2 billion as of the Screening Date (defined below) to be eligible for inclusion. The resulting universe of companies after the market cap screen is applied is ranked by dividend yield and the top 30% of companies from each region, i.e. the U.S., developed and emerging markets, ranked by highest dividend yield, are selected as additions to the Index.

To be deleted from the index, companies must rank outside of the top 35% by dividend yield. The selection and weighting methodology for the WisdomTree Global Hedged High Dividend Index is identical to the selection and weighting methodology used for the WisdomTree Global High Dividend Index.

For purposes of both selection and weighting the following definitions apply: Gross Cash Dividends are generally based on dividends paid over latest annual cycle as determined by the ex-date of the dividends. In the case of Australia, gross dividends do not reflect the franking credit for Australian investors. The currency rate used to translate the dividends to U.S. dollars is the exchange rate on the screening date. Shares outstanding for the total dividend calculation are based on the shares outstanding at the time of each dividend payment. Liquidity and market cap screens are based on the shares outstanding of the security in question for each company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2. Base Date and Base Value

Index <u> Base Date </u> <u> Base Value </u> <br> <u> WisdomTree Global Dividend Index </u> <u> 6/30/2008 </u> <u> 300 </u> <br> <u> WisdomTree Global High Dividend Index </u> <u> 11/30/2007 </u> <u> 200 </u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3. Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Indexes:

![](h23_formulap92.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Global Dividend Indexes are calculated every weekday. If trading is suspended while one of the exchanges is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Indexes. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The total return Indexes are calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Weighting

The Global Dividend Indexes are modified capitalization-weighted Indexes that employ a transparent weighting formula to magnify the effect that dividends play in the total return of the Indexes.

The initial weight of a component in the Index at the annual reconstitution is derived by multiplying the U.S. dollar value of the security's annual dividend per share by the number of common shares outstanding for that security, "The Cash Dividend Factor." For securities listed in the United States and Canada, their indicated dividend per share is multiplied by the number of common shares outstanding to determine "The Cash Dividend Factor." For Emerging Markets securities, the "Cash Dividend Factor" includes multiplying the same two factors above by a third factor developed by Standard & Poor's called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the dividends generated of each company by factors that impose restrictions on shares available to be purchased. The Cash Dividend Factor is calculated for every component in the Index and then summed. Each component's weight, at the Weighting Date, is equal to its Cash Dividend Factor divided by the sum of all Cash Dividend Factors for all the components in that Index. The Global Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs immediately after the close of trading on the relevant date. New components and component weights take effect before the opening of trading the day following the "Global Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

**Page 92 of **192**

WisdomTree Indexes will apply a dividend stream adjustment for constituents with dividend yields greater than 12% at the screening date. The dividend stream of these capped securities will be their market cap multiplied by 12%.

For the size segment dividend indexes (total, large, mid and small caps) and high dividend cuts of the market, companies that fall within the top two deciles of the composite risk factor will have their dividend stream multiplied by 1.5 while all other dividends will remain unadjusted.

Companies will be weighted in the index based on this adjusted dividend stream.

Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of the Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and all other components in the Index will be rebalanced. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following capping rules are applied to all WisdomTree Global Dividend Indexes unless otherwise specified:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 the ratio of a component company's weight relative to its weight in a market capitalization
 weighted version of the Index exceed 5x or fall below 0.20x, the weight of the company will
 be reduced or increased to meet the 5x or 0.20x thresholds, respectively.

**Page 93 of **192**

The following capping rules are applied to the WisdomTree Global Dividend Index:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the Indexes, weight of companies
 will be reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date. Real Estate sector will be capped
 at 15%.

The following capping rules are applied to the WisdomTree Global High Dividend Index:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Individual
 company weights start out with the Cash Dividend Factor described in weighting section 2.4
 above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 regional weights will be adjusted by a Regional Factor such that the regional weights are
 equal to the float-adjusted market capitalization weight of the universe of dividend and
 non-dividend payers of the regional allocations of the U.S., developed and emerging markets
 that meet the general liquidity and market cap criteria for the base index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Should
 any sector achieve a weight equal to or greater than 25% of the Indexes, weight of companies
 will be reduced to 25% as of the annual Screening Date. Real Estate sector will be capped
 at 15%.

The weights may fluctuate above the specified caps during the year, but will be reset at each annual rebalance date.

Note: all sector cappings are conducted based on the GICS sector classifications.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied to all the Indexes after country and sector caps have been applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A
 further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume
 for three months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be
 greater than $200 million to be eligible for each index. If a security's volume factor
 falls below $200 million at the annual screening, but is currently in the Index, it will
 remain in the Index. The securities' weight will be adjusted downwards by an adjustment
 factor equal to its volume factor divided by $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· In
 the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the
 preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight
 will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated
 volume factor / $400 million. The implementation of the volume factor may cause an increase
 in the sector and country weights above the specified caps.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, each class of share will be included in the Indexes, provided that dividends are paid on that share of stock and that the stock passes all other inclusion requirements. For the Global High Dividend Index, in the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class of that company with the greater liquidity, based on the average daily trading volume as described in section 2.1, would be selected for inclusion. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index. For the Small cap cuts, if a security has multiple listed share classes and the total market capitalization of the listed share classes is greater than largest market capitalization cutoff of that index, the security would not be eligible for that index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 95 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Indexes are made at the annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first trading day following the "Emerging Market and Global Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates. No additions are made to the Indexes between annual reconstitutions.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that cancels its dividend payment is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>26</sup> A component company that moves its Primary Business Activities outside of the defined countries identified above is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company and pay a regular cash dividend, it is not allowed into the Index until the next annual reconstitution, provided it meets all other Index inclusion requirements. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same Index as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that pay a regular cash dividend and that meet all other inclusion requirements must wait until the next annual reconstitution to be included in the Index.

<sup>26</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree indexes immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 96 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country or that cancel their dividends in the intervening weeks between the Global Screening Date and the reconstitution date are not included in the Indexes, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Selection parameters for the Indexes
 are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass the selection criteria as of the Global Screening
 Date are included in the Indexes. The component companies are assigned weights in the Indexes
 as defined in section 2.4. and annual reconstitution of the Indexes takes effect as defined
 in section 3.1.

 **Methodology Guide for Global ex–US Quality Growth index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree Global ex-US Quality Growth Index ("WTGDXG") was developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WT") to measure the performance of companies that have high profitability and growth characteristics in the emerging and developed markets outside the U.S.

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Indexes. The Indexes are calculated using primary market prices.

The Indexes are reconstituted on a semi-annual basis (following the close of trading on the third Friday in April and before the opening of trading the day following the "Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the Quality Growth Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. (WT). The Committee will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined by the Committee.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on a semi-annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index and may be held more frequently as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions. Furthermore, the Committee may determine to rebalance the Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in underlying constituent market capitalization, or other similar circumstances.

**Page 98 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the WTGDXG, a company must be covered by WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent. In the developed world, component companies must list their shares on one of the stock exchanges in Europe (i.e., Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, or on stock exchanges in Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. Companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>27</sup> in Europe, Israel, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. Companies must have a market capitalization of at least $100 million on the "Screening Date" (after the close of trading on the last trading day in March and September) and shares of such companies must have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the Screening Date. Shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the Screening Date. In the developing world, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent and must have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudia Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, or Turkey. Securities must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>28</sup> in one of these Emerging Market Countries and have positive earnings over the past year. In the case of China, companies that are incorporated or domiciled in China and traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are eligible for inclusion. In India, only securities whose foreign ownership restriction limits have yet to be breached are eligible for inclusion in the index. Securities need to have a market capitalization of at least $200 million on the "Screening Date" and securities need to have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $200,000 for each of the six months preceding the Screening Date. Shares of such component securities need to have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the Screening Date. Local exchange shares are included in the index for all countries with the exception of Russia, which include only American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.

<sup>27</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>28</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 99 of **192**

On the Screening Date, the 300 largest European, 200 largest Developed ex Europe, 450 largest Emerging Markets ex-China A and 50 largest China A shares companies as measured Market Capitalization are eligible for inclusion. Eligible companies are ranked within each region, i.e. Europe, Developed ex Europe, Emerging Markets ex-China A and China A using a weighted combination of two fundamental factors: growth and quality which are equally weighted. The Index is comprised of companies with highest composite scores within each region targeting a total of 200 securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 growth and quality factor scores are determined as follows: The growth factor is determined
 by a company's ranking based on a 50% weight in its median analyst earnings growth forecast,
 a 25% weight in its trailing 5-year EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
 and amortization) growth and a 25% weight in its trailing 5-year sales growth. The quality
 factor is determined by a company's ranking based on a 50% weight to each of its trailing
 3-year average return on equity and trailing 3-year average return on assets. The Index constituents
 are determined by an Index Committee that looks at companies to identify equity stocks on
 the above-referenced measures.

WisdomTree applies a Foreign Investment Screen to exclude companies that are not available to be purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors) or cannot continue to be reasonably purchased or transacted in by foreign investors (or certain segments of foreign investors), as determined by the third party independent calculation agent, and a data point referred to as "Degree of Open Freedom" (DOF) or by WisdomTree based generally on the guiding principles set forth below. The first test of a stock's investability is determining whether the market is open to foreign institutions. The third party independent calculation agent determines the extent to which and the mechanisms foreign institutions can use to buy and sell shares on local exchanges and repatriate capital, capital gains, and dividend income without undue constraint. Once determined that a market is open to foreign investors, the third party independent calculation agent then investigates each security that may be a candidate for inclusion. Each class of share is reviewed to determine whether there are any corporate bylaw, corporate charter, or industry limitations on foreign ownership of the stock. The DOF is the variable that ranges from zero to one and indicates the amount of the security foreigners may legally own (0.00 indicates that none of the stock is legally available, 1.00 indicates that 100% of the shares are available). Any company with a DOF of 0 will not be eligible for the WisdomTree Indexes.

**Page 100 of **192**

Liquidity and market cap screens are based on the shares outstanding of the security in question for each company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on June 30, 2008.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Global ex-US Quality Growth Index:

![](h23_formulap101.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The WTGDXG is calculated every weekday. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Index is a market-capitalization weighted index.

The maximum weight of any individual security is capped at 7.5% during the semi-annual rebalance and the weights of all other components will be adjusted proportionally.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set and it occurs after the close of the second Friday in April and the Emerging Market Weighting Date. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday in April and before the opening of trading the day following the "Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates.

**Page 101 of **192**

Should any company achieve a weighting equal to or greater than 24.0% of its Index, its weighting will be reduced to 20.0% at the close of the current calendar quarter, and the weight of all other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced proportionately so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and all other components in the Index will be rebalanced in proportion to their index weightings before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied:

A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date

/ weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $400 million to be eligible for each index.

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor

/ $400 million.

The weights may fluctuate above the specified caps during the year, but will be reset at each semi-annual rebalance date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends from non-operating income require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

**Page 102 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company additions and deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, corporate restructurings, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits and stock dividends, require changes in the common shares outstanding and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends, require index divisor adjustments as well. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate action. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the WTGDXG are made at the semi-annual reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in April and before the opening of trading the day following the "Emerging Markets Reconstitution Date." Please refer to the Reconstitution Schedule on page 1 for specific dates. No additions are made to the WTGDXG between semi-annual reconstitutions.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a company moves its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country, it is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>29</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

<sup>29</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the WisdomTree index immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 103 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Corporate actions may affect the share capital of component stocks and therefore trigger increases or decreases in the Index value. To avoid distortion, the divisor is adjusted accordingly. Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WisdomTree reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

 **Methodology Guide for Cybersecurity Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree Team8 Cybersecurity Index [referred to as "the Index"] is designed to track the performance of companies primarily involved in providing cyber security-oriented products. The Index was developed by WisdomTree , Inc. ("WT"), in collaboration with third party specialists in the cyber security sector.

The Index is reconstituted on semi-annual basis following the close of trading on the third Friday in March and September.

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent, must list shares on eligible stock exchanges and derive at least 50% of their revenue from providing primarily cyber security oriented products.

In the developed world, component companies must list their shares on one of the stock exchanges in the U.S., Europe (i.e., Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, or on stock exchanges in Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada.

In the developing world, component companies must have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudi Arabia. Securities must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>30</sup> in one of these Emerging Market Countries. In the case of China, companies that are incorporated or domiciled in China and trade on one of the stock exchanges in the developed world are eligible for inclusion. In addition, Chinese domestic listed companies that are part of the connect program<sup>31</sup> and meet index requirements will be selected for inclusion.

<sup>30</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>31</sup> Stock Connect is a unique collaboration between the Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, which allows international and Mainland Chinese investors to trade securities in each other's markets through the trading and clearing facilities of their home exchange. First launched in November 2014, the scheme now covers over 2,000 eligible equities in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

**Page 106 of **192**

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $300 million and a median daily dollar volume greater than $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in February and August).

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), is also not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

 **Growth Score:** 

The index utilizes a "Growth Score" as defined by WT. The "Revenue CAGR" for each company is calculated as the compound average annual revenue growth over the trailing three years. If a security was recently listed or if the data is missing, then 2- or 1-year growth rates will be used.

WT assigns each company the following Growth Scores:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "Growing Fast"
 – companies with a Revenue CAGR of 20% or higher

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "Growing"
 – companies that are not in the index with at least 7% Revenue CAGR, or companies that
 are currently in the index with a Revenue CAGR of 5% or higher.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "N/A"
 - any other company

 **Focus Score:** 

The Index also utilizes a "Focus Score" which is developed by WT in collaboration with third party specialists in the cyber security sector, which captures the perceived degree of a company's overall involvement across development themes in cyber security.

**Page 107 of **192**

Based on the number of Development Themes along which a company scores a "High Exposure" ("Highs"), WT defines a company's Focus Score to be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "Broad Focus"
 if Highs is 3 or above

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "Narrow Focus"
 if Highs is 1 or 2

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· "N/A"
 if Highs is zero

 **Screening Criteria for Growth and Focus Scores** 

Companies being rated as "Growing Fast" or "Growing" in Growth Score and not being rated as "N/A" by Focus Score will be selected for inclusion. This means:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Any
 new company entering the index must have at least 7% Revenue CAGR.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Companies
 that are currently in the index with a Revenue CAGR below 5% will be excluded during the
 rebalance.

Furthermore, if less than 25 companies pass both Growth and Focus screens, the remaining companies from "Broad Focus" and "Narrow Focus" will be ranked by Revenue CAGR. Companies with higher Revenue CAGR will be selected for inclusion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree Team8 Cybersecurity Index was established with a base value of 200 on October 30, 2020.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Cybersecurity Index:

![](h23_formulap108.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both, price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars, and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 108 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Weighting

Companies are assigned a Weight Factor based on their Focus and Growth Scores:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 1.33 for companies
 with scores of "Broad Focus" and "Growing Fast"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 0.75 for companies
 with "Narrow Focus" and "Growing"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 1 for all other companies

Companies are weighted to reflect their proportionate share of the Weighting Factor, subject to the following "5/37.5 rule" and liquidity adjustment:

5%/37.5% rule – the collective weights of companies with over 5% weight is capped at 37.5% at the index rebalance.

Liquidity adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the net total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

**Page 109 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.6 Tax Rates

The WisdomTree Team8 Cybersecurity total return index is calculated on a net basis. Net return indices reflect the return to an investor where dividends are reinvested after the deduction of a withholding tax. The tax rate applied is the rate to non-resident institutions that do not benefit from double taxation treaties and is determined by the independent calculation agent in accordance with their methodology.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in March and September. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below.

**Page 110 of **192**

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>32</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

<sup>32</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the Index immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 111 of **192**

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the WisdomTree Team8 Cybersecurity Index are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 2.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

 **Methodology guide for biorevolution Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree BioRevolution Index [referred to as "the Index"] is designed to track the performance of companies that will be significantly transformed by advancements in genetics and biotechnology. These advancements include, but are not limited to, the application of genetic technologies to prevent and treat disease; the applications of human genetic technologies to new classes of consumer products personalized for each individual; the transformation of agriculture, aquaculture, and food production, creating healthier and more sustainable models for feeding the growing global population; biological re-engineering used to produce an increasing percentage of the physical inputs needed for manufacturing; and/or DNA as a storage solution (collectively, "BioRevolution Activities").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree BioRevolution Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined by the Committee. Furthermore, the Committee may determine to rebalance the Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from certain sectors, or other similar circumstances.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on a quarterly basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index, and may be held more frequently as circumstances require.

The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must list shares on eligible stock exchanges.

**Page 113 of **192**

Component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>33</sup> and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: United States, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. Companies listed in Japan must list their shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $300 million and a median daily dollar volume greater than $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in March and September).

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

Eligible companies must be involved in BioRevolution Activities. The key sectors listed below are used as guidelines to determine if a company is primarily involved in BioRevolution Activities. A company's engagement in these sectors is indicated via applicable language in its Annual Report, 10K or equivalent report, as well as via exposure to relevant industry classifications.

 **Human Health** – the application of genetic technologies to prevent and treat disease, leading to significant enhancements to human health, wellbeing, and longevity; the applications of human genetic technologies to new classes of consumer products personalized for each individual.

 **Agriculture and Food** – the transformation of agriculture, aquaculture, and food production, creating healthier and more sustainable models for feeding the growing global population.

<sup>33</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 114 of **192**

 **Materials, Chemicals, and Energy** – biological re-engineering used to produce an increasing percentage of the physical inputs needed for manufacturing.

 **Biological Machines and Interfaces** – DNA as a storage solution.

Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eligible companies are evaluated by the Committee. Companies that are representative of the aforementioned BioRevolution Activities and sectors are selected for inclusion in the Index by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the BioRevolution Index:

![](h23_formulap115.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both, price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars, and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 115 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Index is a modified equally weighted index. The Committee makes strategic decisions regarding the weight allocated to the selected BioRevolution sectors and stocks based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis following the close of trading on the third Friday in April and October.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the net total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in April and October. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>34</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification. The Committee may remove a company it has determined to be in extreme financial distress if the Committee deems the removal necessary to protect the integrity of the Index. If removed, its weight will be reallocated to the remaining constituents in the Index.

<sup>34</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the Index immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on November 9, 2021.

**Page 122 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Artificial Intelligence & Innovation Index:

![](h23_formulap123.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both, price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars, and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Index is a hierarchical, multi-category, modified equal-weighted index. The Committee makes strategic decisions regarding the weight allocated to each of the Artificial Intelligence Activities and Innovation themes based upon market forecasts, equal weighting the constituent stocks which are selected for inclusion based upon quantitative and qualitative criteria.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

**Page 123 of **192**

The Index is reconstituted on a quarterly basis following the close of trading on the third Friday in February, May, August and November.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the net total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

**Page 124 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in February, May, August and November. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.

Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification. The Committee may remove a company it has determined to be in extreme financial distress if the Committee deems the removal necessary to protect the integrity of the Index. If removed, its weight will be reallocated to the remaining constituents in its Category or Activity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method. Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4, and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **Methodology guide for Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index [referred to as "the Index"] is designed to track the performance of companies primarily involved in Battery and Energy Storage Solutions ("BESS") and Innovation. The Index was developed by WisdomTree, Inc. ("WT"), in collaboration with third party specialists at BESS.

BESS can be defined as technology that captures electrical energy in chemical form. These technologies are positioned to benefit from the fact that both, chemical and electrical energy, have an electron as the carrier, which limits the conversion loss.

Innovation is defined as the introduction of new, creative, or different (i.e., "innovative") technologically enabled products or services with the potential to change the industry landscape.

The Index is reconstituted on semi-annual basis (following the close of trading on the third Friday in May and November).

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent, must list shares on eligible stock exchanges and be classified as a BESS or Innovation company, and derive 50% of revenue from one or more of the Battery Value Chain Activities (as defined below) or Innovation. In the developed world, component companies must list their shares on one of the stock exchanges in the U.S., Europe (i.e., Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, or on stock exchanges in Australia, Israel, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. In the developing world, component companies must have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, or Saudia Arabia. Securities must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>36</sup> in one of these Emerging Market Countries. In the case of China, companies that are incorporated or domiciled in China and trade on one of the stock exchanges in the developed world are eligible for inclusion. In addition, Chinese domestic listed companies that are part of the connect program<sup>37</sup> and meet Index requirements will be selected for inclusion.

<sup>36</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>37</sup> Stock Connect is a unique collaboration between the Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges, which allows international and Mainland Chinese investors to trade securities in each other's markets through the trading and clearing facilities of their home exchange. First launched in November 2014, the scheme now covers over 2,000 eligible equities in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

**Page 127 of **192**

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $250 million and a median daily dollar volume of at least $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in April and October).

If a security was recently listed and does not have 3-months of trading history, the data available since listing will be used to extrapolate a 3-month average daily traded value. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc., ticker WT, is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

The Index classifies the BESS value chain into 4 categories (i.e., Raw Materials, Manufacturing, Enablers and/or Emerging Technology) (collectively, "Battery Value Chain Activities"), partitioned into 12 sectors, which are further divided into 37 sub-sectors<sup>38</sup>.

 **Raw Materials** - companies that focus on raw battery materials mining, such as Lithium, Nickel or extract chemicals for instance Lithium Carbonate, Cobalt Chemicals specifically used for BESS.

 **Manufacturing** - companies that process battery materials, cell, pack and build components such as Anode, Cathode for BESS.

<sup>38</sup> As of January 2022.

**Page 128 of **192**

 **Enablers** - companies that develop the battery building block components for BESS such as grid edge or charging infrastructure.

 **Emerging Technologies** - companies that use new battery storage technologies such as Lithium Air, Hydrogen Fuel Cell or develop new applications for instance wireless charging.

The Index utilizes an intensity rating, developed by WisdomTree in collaboration with third-party specialists at BESS ("Intensity Rating"), which captures the perceived degree of a company's overall involvement across the BESS value chain.

This BESS Intensity Rating is calculated as sub-sector score multiplied by the company revenue exposure score:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Sub-sector
 score: the scores are calculated based on 3 factors with the following weights, Size –10%;
 Exposure – 50%; Growth – 40%:

⮚ Size score: quantitative measure based on the relative value of the market

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Exposure score: quantitative measure based on percentage of demand in BESS as an end-use |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ⮚ | Growth score: qualitative and quantitative measure based on the percentage relative to sub-sector growth |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Company
 revenue exposure score: based on the company's percentage of revenue from each sub-sector

Each company from the universe is also assigned a Composite Risk Score, which is calculated as the average of the below two factor scores:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Quality
 Factor – determined by return on equity, return on assets, gross profits over assets
 and cash flows over assets

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Momentum
 Factor – determined by the stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical
 periods (i.e., 6 and 12 months)

Companies are ranked based on the Intensity Rating and Composite Risk Score, respectively. Stocks that do not fall within the bottom 20% of the Intensity Rating are selected for inclusion, subject to a minimum of 75 stocks. Furthermore, stocks ranked within the top 33.3% of each category will also be included, if those stocks have not been selected in the previous step. Companies that fall within the bottom 10% of the eligible universe based on the Composite Risk Score, will be removed from the selection.

Security additions and deletions are reviewed and rebalanced on semi-annual basis in May and November.

**Page 129 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.2 Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index was established with a base value of 200 on November 19, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index:

![](h23_formulap130.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both, price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars, and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.4 Weighting

The target weight of each category is calculated as the average of the following weights:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Each
 of the 4 categories (i.e., Raw Materials, Manufacturing, Enablers and Emerging Technology)
 is equal-weighted at 25%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;o Each
 category then receives a second weight from the average score of their underlying sub-sectors.

Each company will then be weighted within the category based on the Intensity Rating multiplied by the sub-sector density function: (log(N)+1)/N, where N is the number of selected stocks from its sub-sector.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month.

**Page 130 of **192**

At each rebalance, the maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 3.5% and the minimum weight at 0.15%. Country exposure is capped at 25% except for U.S., which is capped at 50%.

Additionally, the Index is expected to allocate at least 50% of its weight to companies that meet the definition of Battery Value Chain Activities.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following liquidity adjustment factor will be applied:

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the Index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor

/ $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the net total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.8 Tax Rates

The WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation Total Return index is calculated on a net basis. Net return indices reflect the return to an investor where dividends are reinvested after the deduction of a withholding tax. The tax rate applied is the rate to non-resident institutions that do not benefit from double taxation treaties and is determined by the independent index calculation agent in accordance with their methodology.

**Page 131 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in May and November. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>39</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

<sup>39</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the Index immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 132 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

**Page 133 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the WisdomTree Battery Value Chain and Innovation Index are defined in section 2.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 2.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 3.1.

 **Methodology Guide for the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index ("LargeCap Index"), the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Quality Growth Index ("MidCap Index"), and the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Growth Index ("SmallCap Index") [referred to collectively as "the Indexes"] were developed by WisdomTree, Inc. (WT). The Indexes are comprised of companies that have high profitability and growth characteristics.

The Indexes are calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Indexes are calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

The Indexes are reconstituted on a semi-annual basis (following the close of trading on the eighth business day in June and December<sup>40</sup>).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Indexes are overseen by the Quality Growth Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. (WT). The Committee will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Indexes. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined by the Committee.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on a semi-annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Indexes and may be held more frequently as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions. Furthermore, the Committee may determine to rebalance each Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in underlying constituent market capitalization, or other similar circumstances.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Indexes, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third party independent index calculation agent, must list shares on a U.S. stock exchange, conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>41</sup> in the United States.

<sup>40</sup> Semi-annual rebalance commencing November 2022 for the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index and November 2023 for the WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Quality Growth Index and the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Growth Index.

<sup>41</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 135 of **192**

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $100 million and had a median daily dollar volume of at least $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in May and November). Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are excluded, as are limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs), and mortgage REITs. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. Companies that have pending acquisitions or mergers are excluded from the initial universe. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc., ticker WT, is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

Eligible companies are ranked on a composite score of two fundamental factors: growth and quality, which are equally weighted. Each Index is comprised of the companies with the highest composite scores.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 growth and quality factor scores for the LargeCap Index are determined as follows: The growth
 factor is determined by a company's ranking based on a 50% weight in its median analyst earnings
 growth forecast, a 25% weight in its trailing 5-year EBITDA (i.e., earnings before interest,
 taxes, depreciation and amortization) growth and a 25% weight in its trailing 5-year sales
 growth. The quality factor is determined by a company's ranking based on a 50% weight to
 each of its trailing 3-year average return on equity and trailing 3-year average return on
 assets. The Index constituents are determined by an Index Committee that looks at companies
 to identify equity stocks on the above-referenced measures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 growth and quality factor scores for the Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Indexes are determined as
 follows: The growth factor is determined by a company's ranking based on a 40% weight in
 its trailing 3-year earnings growth, a 40% weight in its trailing 3-year sales growth, and
 a 20% weight in its median analyst earnings growth forecast. The quality factor is determined
 by a company's ranking based on a 50% weight to each of its trailing 3-year average return
 on equity and trailing 3-year average return on assets. The Index constituents are
 determined by an Index Committee that looks at companies to identify equity stocks on the
 above-referenced measures.

**Page 136 of **192**

For the Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Indexes, all issuers (including REITs) assigned to the Real Estate sector, Utilities sector, and Banks industry are ineligible. Note: Sectors based on the GICS sector classifications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The WisdomTree U.S. Quality Growth Index was established with a base value of 200 on November 30, 2022.

The WisdomTree U.S. MidCap Quality Growth Index and the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Quality Growth Index were established with a base value of 200 on November 30, 2023.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Indexes:

<u>S</u><u>i{S<sub>i</sub>P<sub>i</sub>E<sub>i</sub>}</u>

D

Si = Number of shares in the index for Security *i*

Pi = Price of Security *i*

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security *i* vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1 <br> D = Divisor

The Indexes are calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars. The price and total return Indexes are calculated and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Indexes are market-capitalization weighted indexes.

The maximum weight of any individual security is capped as follows at the semi-annual rebalance and the weights of all other components will be adjusted proportionally

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· LargeCap Index:
 Individual securities are capped at 15%

**Page 137 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· MidCap
 Index and SmallCap Index: Individual securities are capped at 5%

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set and it occurs after the close of the third business day of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the eighth business day of the rebalance month.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

The following liquidity adjustment factors will be applied:

A further volume screen requires that a calculated volume factor (the median daily dollar volume for three months preceding the Screening Date / weight of security in each index) shall be greater than $400 million to be eligible for each index.

In the event a security has a calculated volume factor (average daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that weight after volume adjustment = weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor

/ $400 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest average daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

**Page 138 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at the reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the eighth business day in June and December. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

**Page 139 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WTI reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move its Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

 **Methodology Guide for New Economy Real Estate Index** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree New Economy Real Estate Index [referred to as "the Index"] is designed to track the performance of global companies from developed markets and involved in new economy real estate industry.

The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis in March and September.

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree New Economy Real Estate Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than 3 members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided that the published Index composition shall be as determined by the Committee.

The Committee meetings will generally be held on a semi-annual basis or such frequency in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index, and may be held more frequently as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed to reflect changes in market conditions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must list shares on eligible stock exchanges.

Component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>42</sup> and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following developed countries: United States, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore or Canada. Companies listed in Japan must list their shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

<sup>42</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 142 of **192**

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $500 million and a median daily dollar volume greater than $1,000,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (after the close of trading on the last trading day in February and August). Companies comprising the Index also will derive at least 50% of their revenues or profits from, or invest at least 50% of their assets in, products or services related to the "new economy" real estate activities, as that term is described below.

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc., ticker WT, is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

Eligible companies must be involved in "new economy" real estate activities. "New economy" real estate activities include companies that are classified as (a) digital and industrial economy infrastructure, and (b) next-generation digital infrastructure, as listed below. The key sectors listed below are used as guidelines to determine if a company is primarily involved in such activities. A company's engagement in these sectors is indicated via applicable language in its company description, Annual Report, 10K or equivalent report, earnings call transcripts, patent submissions, news and press releases, as well as via exposure to relevant industry classifications.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**a.** **Digital and Industrial Economy Infrastructure,** which include but not limit to telecommunication tower sector
 (including cable and fiber assets), data centers, healthcare and life sciences, modern logistics
 and ecommerce, as well as other industrial and specialized infrastructures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**b.** **Next-generation digital infrastructure,** which include but not limit to blockchain-enabled, and digital
 infrastructures hosting cryptocurrency mining, or providing High performance computing
 (HPC) facilities.

**Page 143 of **192**

Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eligible companies are evaluated by the Committee. Companies that are representative of the aforementioned new economy real estate activities and sectors are selected for inclusion in the Index by the Committee, subject to a minimum of 50 stocks. To satisfy this minimum number of components for diversification purposes, companies with lower market capitalization or trading volume than the screening criteria mentioned above may be selected for inclusion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Index:

![](h23_formulap144.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. <br> Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1 <br> D = Divisor

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. dollars.

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both, price and total-return basis, in U.S. dollars, and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 144 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The Index is a modified market capitalization weighted index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The
 Index has target weight allocation for "digital and industrial economy infrastructure"
 and "next-generation digital infrastructure" categories at 90% and 10%, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Within
 each category, companies are weighted by market capitalization, subject to the capping and
 liquidity adjustment criteria described below. The maximum weight of any security from Next-generation
 Digital Infrastructure category will be capped at 2.5%

Capping - at each rebalance, the maximum weight of any single security is capped at 7.5%. In addition, the sum of all securities over 5% shall not exceed 35% at rebalance.

Liquidity adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The Index is reconstituted on a semi-annual basis following the close of trading on the third Friday in March and September.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the net total return index require index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

**Page 145 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments. Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in March and September. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date.<sup>43</sup> Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification. The Committee may remove a company it has determined to be in extreme financial distress if the Committee deems the removal necessary to protect the integrity of the Index. If removed, its weight will be reallocated to the remaining constituents in the Index.

<sup>43</sup> Companies being acquired will be deleted from the Index immediately before the effective date of the acquisition or upon notice of a suspension of trading in the stock of the company that is being acquired. In cases where an effective date is not publicly announced in advance, or where a notice of suspension of trading in connection with an acquisition is not announced in advance, WisdomTree reserves the right to delete the company being acquired based on best available market information.

**Page 146 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Index's market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **Methodology Guide for WisdomTree Opportunities Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT) has created the WisdomTree European Opportunities Equity Index (referred to as "EUOE") and WisdomTree European Opportunities Index (referred to as "EUOP"), WisdomTree Japan Opportunities Equity Index (referred to as "JPOE") and WisdomTree Japan Opportunities Index (referred to as "JPOP"), and WisdomTree GeoAlpha Opportunities Index (referred to as "GEOP") [together referred to as "the Indexes"].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The EUOE and EUOP are designed to track the performance of European companies focused on both value stocks and companies benefiting from geopolitical and global policy shifts. The EUOE and EUOP are calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The EUOE is calculated in U.S. dollars. The EUOP is designed to remove from index performance the impact of changes to the value of foreign currencies relative to U.S. dollar with a hedge ratio ranging from 0 to 100% on a monthly basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The JPOE and JPOP are each designed to track the performance of Japanese companies with a focus on both value stocks and companies benefitting from geopolitical and global policy shifts. The JPOE and JPOP are calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The JPOE is calculated in U.S. dollars. The JPOP is designed to remove from Index performance the impact of changes in the value of the Yen relative to the U.S. dollar with a hedge ratio ranging from 0 to 100% on a monthly basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The GEOP is designed to track the performance of companies primarily benefiting from geopolitical and global policy shifts. The GEOP focuses on the following categories of geopolitical and global policy shifts: Geopolitical Events, Fiscal and Monetary Policy Shifts, Innovations in Technology, and Shifting Consumer Preferences. The GEOP is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated in U.S. dollars using primary market prices

The EUOE, EUOP, JPOE and JPOP Indexes will be reconstituted on a quarterly basis (following the close of trading on the eighth business day in March, June, September and December). The Screening Date for each index will be the last business day in February, May, August and November. The GEOP Index will be reconstituted on a monthly basis. The Screening Date for each index will be the last business day of each month. The Committee may determine to rebalance and/or reconstitute the Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from certain sectors, geopolitical events (such as kinetic conflicts, cyber attacks, and tariffs) or other similar circumstances. Constituent turnover in each Index will be capped at 20% per rebalance.

**Page 148 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Indexes are overseen by the WisdomTree Opportunities Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than three members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Index. WisdomTree designed this methodology to achieve the Index's objective. The primary function of the Committee is to seek to ensure the Index methodology is implemented correctly. In such role, the Index Committee selects all constituents meeting the eligibility criteria described herein in its discretion. In addition, any changes to or deviations from this methodology are intended to enable the Index to continue to achieve its objective and will be made in the sole judgment and discretion of the Index Committee.

The Committee meetings generally will be held at a quarterly cadence or as needed in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index or as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may be changed from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the **EUOE and EUOP**: component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must list shares on eligible stock exchanges. Component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>44</sup> and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, and United Kingdom (collectively, "Europe").

<sup>44</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 149 of **192**

Companies must have a median daily dollar volume greater than $100,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date and trade at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.

Companies in the bottom 15% of this universe by market capitalization are excluded.

The EUOE and EUOP are based on a rules-based methodology overseen and implemented by the WisdomTree European Opportunities Index Committee (the "Index Committee"). The Index Committee will categorize securities into two buckets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 2/3
 of the Index will be allocated to European securities that provide a high "total shareholder
 yield", evidenced by return of capital to shareholders through either dividend distributions
 and/or the repurchase of shares ("buybacks")

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 1/3
 of the Index will be allocated to equities that have exposures to thematic opportunities
 from developments in the geopolitical space, technology trends, and macro-economic conditions.

 <u>Total Shareholder Yield:</u>

The Index selects approximately two-thirds of its securities based on Total Shareholder Yield based on the below process to screen European securities from its eligible universe:

Companies that fall within the bottom quintile of a composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion. The composite risk factor score is used to eliminate potentially higher risk companies that would have otherwise been eligible for inclusion in the Index. The composite risk factor score is an equally weighted score of the two factors described below:

1) Quality Factor – determined by static observations and trends of return on equity (ROE), return on assets (ROA), gross profits over assets and cash flows over assets. Scores are calculated within industry groups.

2) Momentum Factor – determined by stocks' risk adjusted total returns over historical periods (6 and 12 months)

Companies that fall within the top 5% ranked by dividend yield and also the bottom ½ of the composite risk factor score are not eligible for inclusion. Companies are also screened out based on year-over-year changes in the company's share count. Companies that rank in the bottom 50% on changes in share count (greater reduction in shares outstanding earning a higher ranking) are not eligible for inclusion. Rankings are calculated within sector. Companies that rank outside of the top 30% of the eligible universe on shareholder yield are not eligible for inclusion. Rankings are calculated within sector.

**Page 150 of **192**

 <u>Thematic Opportunities:</u>

For companies not selected based on total shareholder yield, the Committee will consider several factors including revenues generated from non-Allied countries<sup>45</sup>, management commentary related to geopolitics, and other qualitative and quantitative factors for inclusion in the Index. As described below, eligible companies must have exposure to geopolitical events, fiscal and monetary policy shifts, innovative solutions, or shifting consumer preferences as determined by the Index Committee.

The key activities listed below are used as guidelines to determine if a company is exposed to geopolitical events and shifts in global policy.

A company's exposure to geopolitical and global policy shifts are indicated via applicable language in its company description, Annual Report, 10K or equivalent report, earnings call transcripts, patent submissions, news and press releases, as well as exposure to relevant industry classifications. These will be assigned to the following categories ("the Categories"):

1) Geopolitical events – Companies positioned to benefit from geopolitical considerations including but not limited to supply chain changes, tax policies, defense spending and alliances, or trade and tariff policies. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 25-50% to this category.

2) Fiscal and monetary policy shifts – Companies better positioned for the raising and lowering of interest rates by central banks, different fiscal spending programs, and currency and policy interventions. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

3) Innovations in Technology – Companies across a range of sectors including but not limited to the Technology and Energy sectors that are participating in innovative<sup>46</sup> solutions. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

<sup>45</sup> Alliances considered include NATO, Major Non-NATO Allies (MNNAs) as designated by the US State Department with Mexico and India included due to their relevance in the geopolitical theme and their inclusion in United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and the Quad. These alliances (collectively "Allies") are integral to the future of geopolitics and the outlook for trade.

<sup>46</sup> Innovation is defined as companies that introduce a new, creative, or different (i.e., "innovative") technologically enabled product or service in seeking to potentially change an industry landscape, as well as companies that service those Innovative technologies, particularly those related to shifts to geopolitics and government policies.

**Page 151 of **192**

4) Shifting Consumer Preferences – Companies positioned to benefit from changes in global consumer habits. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-15% to this category.

Typically, the Index will be comprised of 75-125 securities. The securities in the Index will be weighted according to shareholder yield, liquidity, and market capitalization considerations. The Index generally will be reconstituted on a quarterly basis. The Committee may determine to rebalance and/or reconstitute the Index more frequently in response to volatility in the market, shifts in exposure away from certain sectors, geopolitical events (such as kinetic conflicts, cyber-attacks, and tariffs) or other similar circumstances. Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eligible companies are evaluated by the Committee. Companies that are representative of the aforementioned geopolitical and global policy shifts are selected for inclusion in the Index by the Committee

To be eligible for inclusion in the **JPOE and JPOP**: component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must list shares on eligible stock exchanges. Component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>47</sup>, and have their shares listed, in Japan.

Companies must have a median daily dollar volume greater than $100,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date and trade at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months.

Common stocks, real estate investment trusts ("REITs"), tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion in each Index. ADRs, GDRs, EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivatives, such as warrants and rights, are not eligible for inclusion. Companies with a market capitalization below USD $100 million are excluded.

For each Index, the Committee will categorize eligible securities into one of the four allocation categories described below:

1) 0-45% of the Index will be allocated to securities of Japanese companies that are strategic holdings of Berkshire Hathaway (i.e., companies for which Berkshire Hathaway owns more than 5% of the shares outstanding) on the screening date as evidenced by publicly available regulatory filings.

<sup>47</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 152 of **192**

2) 15-33% of the Index will be allocated to Japanese securities that provide a high "total shareholder yield", as evidenced by high return of capital to shareholders through either dividend distributions or the repurchase of shares ("buybacks") combined with favorable earnings and dividend growth characteristics.

3) 15-33% of the Index will be allocated to Japanese securities classified as "Corporate Governance Improvers", evidenced by low valuation ratio (such as a Low Price to Book ratio) and favorable earnings and dividend growth characteristics.

4) 15-33% of the Index will be allocated to securities that have exposures to thematic opportunities from developments in the geopolitical space, technology trends, and macro-economic conditions.

 <u>Strategic Holdings of Berkshire Hathaway:</u>

Each Index allocates approximately 0-45% of its weight to Japanese companies in which Berkshire Hathaway owns more than 5% of shares outstanding according to their latest regulatory filings.

 <u>Total Shareholder Yield:</u>

Each Index allocates approximately 15-33% of its weight based on total shareholder yield, determined as described below, to screen Japanese securities from its eligible universe, excluding those classified as long-term strategic holdings of Berkshire Hathaway.

Companies with a total shareholder yield ranked outside of the top 30% of the eligible universe are not eligible for inclusion. Companies with a growth score (composed of trailing three-year growth of earnings and shareholder distributions) ranked outside of the top 50% of the eligible universe are not eligible for inclusion.

 <u>Corporate Governance Improvers:</u>

Each Index allocates approximately 15-33% of its weight to securities determined to be Corporate Governance Improvers based on the process described below. This category excludes those companies classified as strategic holdings of Berkshire Hathaway and as high total shareholder yield companies.

Companies with a growth score (composed of trailing three-year growth of earnings and shareholder distributions) ranked outside of the top 30% of the eligible universe are not eligible for inclusion. Companies with a Book-to-Price metric ranked outside of the top 50% of the eligible universe are not eligible for inclusion.

**Page 153 of **192**

 <u>Thematic Opportunities:</u>

For companies not selected based on the three previously mentioned categories, the Committee will consider several factors including revenues generated from non-Allied countries<sup>48</sup>, management commentary related to geopolitics, and other qualitative and quantitative factors for inclusion in the Index. As described below, eligible companies must have exposure to geopolitical events, fiscal and monetary policy shifts, innovative solutions, or shifting consumer preferences as determined by the Committee.

The key activities listed below are used as guidelines to determine if a company is exposed to geopolitical events and shifts in global policy. References to a company's exposure to geopolitical and global policy shifts in its company description, Annual Report, Form 10-K or equivalent report, earnings call transcripts, patent submissions, news and press releases, as well as exposure to relevant industry classifications. These will be assigned to the following categories (the "Categories"):

1) Geopolitical events – Companies positioned to benefit from geopolitical considerations including but not limited to supply chain changes, tax policies, defense spending and alliances, or trade and tariff policies. Under typical circumstances, an Index will allocate 25-50% to this Category.

2) Fiscal and monetary policy shifts – Companies better positioned for the raising and lowering of interest rates by central banks, different fiscal spending programs, and currency and policy interventions. Under typical circumstances, an Index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

3) Innovations in technology – Companies across a range of sectors including but not limited to the Technology and Energy Sectors that are participating in innovative<sup>49</sup> solutions (i.e., new, creative, or different technologically-enabled products or services that could change an industry landscape). Under typical circumstances, an Index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

4) Shifting consumer preferences – Companies positioned to benefit from changes in global consumer habits. Under typical circumstances, an Index will allocate 5-15% to this category.

Typically, the JPOE and JPOE will be comprised of 100-150 securities.

<sup>48</sup> Alliances considered include NATO, Major Non-NATO Allies (MNNAs) as designated by the US State Department with Mexico and India included due to their relevance in the geopolitical theme and their inclusion in United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and the Quad. These alliances (collectively "Allies") are integral to the future of geopolitics and the outlook for trade.

<sup>49</sup> Innovation is defined as companies that introduce a new, creative, or different (i.e., "innovative") technologically enabled product or service in seeking to potentially change an industry landscape, as well as companies that service those Innovative technologies, particularly those related to shifts to geopolitics and government policies.

**Page 154 of **192**

To be eligible for inclusion in the **GEOP**: component companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must list shares on eligible stock exchanges. Component companies must conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>50</sup> and have their shares listed on a stock exchange in one of the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China (including Hong Kong-listed shares, A-shares with specific inclusion criteria), Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States.

Companies need to have market capitalization of at least $1 billion, a median daily dollar volume greater than $100,000 for each of the three months preceding the Screening Date (last day in February, May, August and November) and trade at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs, exchange-traded funds and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Interests of limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible for inclusion. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

Non-US companies are screened against inclusion in NATO, Major Non-NATO Allies (MNNAs) as designated by the US State Department with Mexico and India included due to their relevance in the geopolitical theme and their inclusion in United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and the Quad. These alliances (collectively "Allies") are integral to the future of geopolitics and the outlook for trade. The Committee will only consider companies domiciled in an Allies territory for inclusion in the Index.

For non-US companies, the Committee will consider several factors including revenues generated from non-Allied countries<sup>51</sup>, management commentary related to geopolitics, and other qualitative and quantitative factors for inclusion in the Index. US companies are screened for revenues generated from non-allies. As described below, eligible companies must have exposure to geopolitical events, fiscal and monetary policy shifts, innovative solutions, or shifting consumer preferences as determined by the Index Committee.

<sup>50</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>51</sup> Alliances considered include NATO, Major Non-NATO Allies (MNNAs) as designated by the US State Department with Mexico and India included due to their relevance in the geopolitical theme and their inclusion in United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and the Quad. These alliances (collectively "Allies") are integral to the future of geopolitics and the outlook for trade.

**Page 155 of **192**

The key activities listed below are used as guidelines to determine if a company is exposed to geopolitical events and shifts in global policy.

A company's exposure to geopolitical and global policy shifts are indicated via applicable language in its company description, Annual Report, 10K or equivalent report, earnings call transcripts, patent submissions, news and press releases, as well as exposure to relevant industry classifications. These will be assigned to the following categories ("the Categories"):

1) Geopolitical Events – Companies positioned to benefit from geopolitical considerations including but not limited to supply chain changes, tax policies, defense spending and alliances, or trade and tariff policies. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 25-50% to this category.

2) Fiscal and Monetary Policy Shifts – Companies better positioned for the raising and lowering of interest rates by central banks, different fiscal spending programs, and currency and policy interventions. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

3) Innovations in Technology – Companies across a range of sectors including but not limited to the Information Technology and Energy sectors that are participating in innovative<sup>52</sup> solutions. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-25% to this category.

4) Shifting Consumer Preferences – Companies positioned to benefit from changes in global consumer habits. Under typical circumstances the index will allocate 5-15% to this category.

Qualitative and quantitative characteristics of eligible companies are evaluated by the Committee. Companies that are representative of the aforementioned geopolitical and global policy shifts are selected for inclusion in the GEOP by the Committee. The GEOP will have between 50 and 100 constituents.

<sup>52</sup> Innovation is defined as companies that introduce a new, creative, or different (i.e., "innovative") technologically enabled product or service in seeking to potentially change an industry landscape, as well as companies that service those Innovative technologies, particularly those related to shifts to geopolitics and government policies.

 <u>Dynamic Currency Management</u>

For the EUOP and JPOP, the Index Committee seeks to manage the Fund's currency risk by dynamically hedging currency fluctuations in the relative value of the applicable foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, ranging from a 0% to 100% hedge. The Investment Committee will determine if a currency hedge will be implemented based on the following signals:

1) Momentum: The one-month average of the currency's spot price versus the U.S. dollar is weaker than that of the three-month average (i.e., the targeted currency is depreciating).

2) Interest Rate Differentials: The difference in interest rates, as implied in one month FX forwards, between each currency and the

U.S. dollar.

3) Geopolitical Events and Fiscal & Monetary Policy Shifts: Geopolitical considerations including but not limited to supply chain changes, tax policies, defense spending and alliances, trade and tariff policies, central bank mandated changes in interest rates, different fiscal spending programs, and currency and policy interventions.

4) Time-series momentum: Overall broad trends in the U.S. dollar.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The EUOE and EUOP were established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2025.

The JPOE and JPOP were established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2025.

The GEOP was established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Index:

![](h23_formulap157.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i.

Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

The EUOP and JPOP are designed to approximate the investable return available to U.S. based investors that seek to neutralize fluctuations on foreign currencies. The total returns for the EUOP and JPOP are calculated once a day on a daily basis to remove the impact of currency and uses a WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate to do so.

**Page 157 of **192**

The EUOP and JPOP will be calculated using forward amounts and foreign currency weights determined one business day prior to the month end—in accordance with the standard currency hedged calculations of WisdomTree's independent index calculation agent. The precise calculation for the daily hedged currency index equals:

![](h23_formulap158.jpg)

Where Forward Rate = WM/Reuters 1-month forward rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar

Spot Rate = Spot Rate in foreign currency per U.S. dollar.

For each month m, there are d= 1, 2, 3, .. D calendar days so md is day d for month m and m0 is one business day prior to the month end of month m-1.

D=Total # days In Month

md= d day of Month m

WT_Hedged0 – previous month-end WT_Unhedged0 – previous month-end

HedgeRet has a hedge ratio applied to it when determining what percentage of the currency is hedged. This is a ratio WisdomTree will send to the calculation agent every month.

The Indexes are calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 158 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The EUOE, EUOP, JPOE and JPOP will be fundamentally weighted according to shareholder yield, liquidity, and market capitalization considerations.

Each company included in the GEOP is assigned a GeoAlpha Thematic Intensity Score based on their exposure to each of the 4 selection activities: Geopolitical Events, Fiscal and Monetary Policy Shifts, Innovations in Technology, and Shifting Consumer Preferences. The GEOP is weighted by market capitalization adjusted by the GeoAlpha

**Page 159 of **192**

Thematic Intensity Score. The maximum weight of any security will be capped at 5%.

Liquidity adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of the third business day of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the eighth business day of the rebalance month.

Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Indexes, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced proportionally to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

**Page 160 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments.

Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Indexes' components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Indexes are made at the quarterly reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented before the opening of trading on the first day following the closing of trading on the 8th business day in the rebalance month. No additions are made to the Indexes between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain Spin-Off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Indexes are deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Indexes. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Indexes. If a company re-incorporates outside of a defined domicile it is deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Indexes. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Indexes are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Indexes, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company it is allowed to stay in the Indexes until the next quarterly reconstitution. The weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next quarterly reconstitution to be included in the Indexes.

**Page 161 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Indexes' market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Indexes' continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **Methodology Guide for WisdomTree Defense Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT) has created the WisdomTree Europe Defense Index (referred to as "EUDF"), WisdomTree Asia Defense Index (referred to as "ASDF") and WisdomTree Global Defense Index (referred to as "GLDF") [together referred to as "the Indexes"].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The EUDF is designed to track the performance of European companies primarily involved in the defense industry. The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The ASDF is designed to track the performance of Asian companies primarily involved in the defense industry. The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The GLDF is designed to track the performance of companies around the globe primarily involved in the defense industry. The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

The EUDF, ASDF and GLDF will be reconstituted on a quarterly basis (following the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September and December). The Screening Date for each index will be the last business day in February, May, August and November.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Indexes are overseen by the WisdomTree Defense Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree"), ticker WT. The Committee will be composed of not less than three members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation, and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to seek to ensure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively.

The Committee meetings generally will be held at a quarterly cadence or as needed in relation to the reconstitution and/or rebalance frequency of the Index or as circumstances require. The composition of the Committee may be changed from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The EUDF was established with a base value of 200 on February 28, 2025.

The ASDF was established with a base value of 200 on February 28, 2025.

The GLDF was established with a base value of 200 on February 28, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Indexes:

![](h23_formulap167.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. <br> Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1 <br> D = Divisor

The Indexes are calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Indexes. The Indexes are calculated using primary market prices and calculated in USD.

The Indexes are calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

**Page 167 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

For **EUDF**: Each selected company is assigned an Exposure Score based on the revenue exposure to defense activities, i.e., Exposure Score equals to 3 for companies with over 50% revenue exposure, 2 for companies with 25% to 50% revenue exposure, and 1 for companies 10% to 25% revenue exposure.

The Index is weighted by market capitalization<sup>56</sup> adjusted by the Exposure Score, subject to the capping and liquidity adjustment criteria described below.

Capping - at each rebalance, the maximum weight of any security with an Exposure Score equals to 3 is capped at 12.5%, and other securities are capped at 4.5%. The combined weight of companies with Exposure Score equal to 3 and weight above 5% will be capped at 45%.

Liquidity Adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $300 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $300 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, the index will undergo a reweighting as specified above.

For **ASDF**: Each selected company is assigned an Exposure Score based on the revenue exposure to defense activities, i.e., Exposure Score equals to 3 for the companies with over 50% revenue exposure, 2 for companies with 25%-50% revenue exposure, and1 for the companies with 10% to 25% revenue exposure.

The Index is weighted by market capitalization<sup>57</sup> adjusted by the Exposure Score, subject to the capping and liquidity adjustment criteria described below.

<sup>56</sup> For securities from Emerging Markets, their market capitalization is multiplied by a second factor called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the market capitalization generated for each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased.

<sup>57</sup> For securities from Emerging Markets, their market capitalization is multiplied by a second factor called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the market capitalization generated for each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased.

**Page 168 of **192**

Capping - at each rebalance, the maximum weight of any security with an Exposure Score equals to 3 is capped at 7.5%, and other securities are capped at 4%. The combined weight of companies with Exposure Score equal to 3 and weight above 5% will be capped at 45%.

Liquidity Adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $300 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $300 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, the index will undergo a reweighting as specified above.

For **GLDF**: Each selected company is assigned an Exposure Score based on the revenue exposure to defense activities, i.e., Exposure Score equals to 2 for companies with over 50% revenue exposure and 1 for companies with 25% to 50% revenue exposure.

The Index is weighted by market capitalization<sup>58</sup> adjusted by the Exposure Score, subject to the capping and liquidity adjustment criteria described below.

Securities will be classified into three regions: U.S., Europe, and Other Markets. Other Markets are defined as markets outside the U.S. and Europe that are investable for defense. The regions within the Index will be weighted according to the following factors:

1) Macro: Each region (i.e., US/Europe/Other Markets) receives a macro score based on factors such as government defense budget growth and priorities, sovereign security threats such as geopolitical tensions and terror threats, and the regional companies' average capital Investment and R&D Activities.

<sup>58</sup> For securities from Emerging Markets, their market capitalization is multiplied by a second factor called the "Investability Weighting Factor" (IWF). The IWF is used to scale the market capitalization generated for each company by restrictions on shares available to be purchased.

**Page 169 of **192**

2) Momentum: The Index defines a momentum score for each region by looking at the crossings of the 3-month and 12-month moving average of the relative performance of the region compared to a global market capitalization weighted equity benchmark. Depending on the momentum scores, each region's Weighting Factor will be adjusted and in the range of 0.5 to 1.5.

The weight of each region is capped at 70% and floored at 10%. The Index will have between 20 and 100 constituents with a maximum weight of 5% for Exposure Score 2 securities and 2.5% for Exposure 1 securities. The securities will be weighted by multiplying market capitalization by the exposure score.

Liquidity Adjustment. In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $300 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $300 million.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, the index will undergo a reweighting as specified above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

**Page 170 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments.

Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Indexes' components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Indexes are made at their respective reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in March, June, September and December. No additions are made to the Indexes between quarterly reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain Spin-Off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Indexes are deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Indexes. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Indexes. If a company re-incorporates outside of a defined domicile it is deleted from the Indexes and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Indexes. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Indexes are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e. that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Indexes, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

**Page 171 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company it is allowed to stay in the Indexes until the next quarterly reconstitution. The weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next quarterly reconstitution to be included in the Indexes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

Changes in the Indexes' market capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a divisor change to maintain the Indexes' continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional cases, WT reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree Classiq Quantum Computing Index (referred to as "the Index") is designed to track the performance of companies involved in Quantum Computing activities from global developed and emerging markets as described below. Quantum Computing refers to a confluence of advances in technology that use quantum mechanics principles to process information, potentially solving complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers by leveraging quantum bits ("qubits") that can exist in multiple states simultaneously. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a quarterly basis in February, May, August, and November.

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated in U.S. dollars using the primary market prices of constituents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree Quantum Computing Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee composed of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree") personnel. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed. The Committee will be composed of not less than three (3) members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided, however, that the Committee has ultimate discretion with respect to both the contents of this Methodology and the composition of the published Index.

Meetings of the Committee generally will be held on a quarterly basis or with such frequency as determined appropriate by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

In the case of Chinese companies, to be eligible for inclusion in the Index, component companies must be incorporated or domiciled in China and, except as noted below, have their shares listed on a stock exchange in the developed world. Chinese domestic listed companies that are part of the Stock Connect program<sup>59</sup> and meet the eligibility criteria described above are also eligible for inclusion in the Index.

Component companies must have had a market capitalization of at least

$200 million and a median daily dollar volume greater than $1,000,000 in each of the last three months preceding a Screening Date.

Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, holding companies, ADRs, GDRs and EDRs are eligible for inclusion. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, royalty trusts, Business Development Companies (BDCs) and mortgage REITs are excluded. Preferred stocks, closed-end funds, passive foreign investment companies, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible. The publicly traded security for WisdomTree, Inc., ticker WT, is not eligible for inclusion in any of WisdomTree's equity indexes.

Component companies must be involved in Quantum Computing Activities. Based on WisdomTree's assessment, the business activities listed below currently are reflective of the Quantum Computing space ("Quantum Computing Activities"). The list below is not exhaustive and may be modified from time to time based on WisdomTree's or the Committee's evaluation of the Quantum Computing space and related information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Quantum chips and qubit technology providers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Quantum software and algorithm providers,

First launched in November 2014, the scheme now covers over 2,000 eligible equities in Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

**Page 174 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Quantum-as-a-Service providers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. Post-quantum cryptography providers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. Quantum networking and communications providers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. Advanced computing providers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 8. Providers of tools and infrastructure, as well as semiconductors, materials, and components to companies involved in the development of Quantum computing technologies.

A company's involvement in Quantum Computing Activities is assessed via the company's description as presented in and Annual Report, 10K or equivalent report, earnings call transcripts, patent submissions, news and press releases, as well as via exposure to relevant industry classifications and revenue derived from Quantum Computing Activities. WisdomTree maintains a database of companies with exposure to Quantum Computing Activities which is regularly reviewed. The data in the database is derived from a variety of sources, including unrelated third-party data providers.

The Committee assigns each component company a Relevancy Score and a Purity Classification based on the nature and significance of its Quantum Computing Activities, and, where applicable, revenue derived from those activities.

The Relevancy Score is set at 3, 2, or 1, reflecting high, medium, or low relevancy of the company's involvement in Quantum Computing Activities and significance of those activities for the progress of Quantum Computing.

The Purity Classification is specified as 'Pure' or 'Diversified', depending on the business focus and, where applicable, concentration of revenue derived from Quantum Computing Activities.

Companies that meet the aforementioned criteria are included in the Index, subject to a minimum of 25 stocks.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Index:

![](h23_formulap175.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. <br> Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1

D = Divisor

**Page 175 of **192**

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in USD.

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

Each component company is initially equally weighted, with subsequent Relevancy and Purity adjustments applied in a two-step process as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Relevancy
 Adjustment: Companies with a Relevancy Score of 3 are upweighted by a factor of 1.3, while
 those with a Relevancy Score of 1 are down weighted by a factor of 0.7.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Purity
 Adjustment: Weights are further adjusted based on the Purity Classification, with companies
 classified as 'Pure' being upweighted by a factor of 1.3 and companies classified
 as 'Diversified' being down weighted by a factor of 0.7.

Following these adjustments, all weights are normalized to ensure the total weight of the Index sums to 100%.

Final weights are subject to the capping and liquidity constraints described below.

Capping - at each rebalance, the maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 15%.

Liquidity adjustment - In the event a company has a calculated volume factor (median daily volume traded over the preceding three months / weight in the index) that is less than $400 million, its weight will be reduced such that the weight after volume adjustment equals the weight before adjustment x calculated volume factor / $400 million.

**Page 176 of **192**

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set, and it occurs after the close of trading on Thursday prior to the second Friday of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the third Friday of the rebalance month. Moreover, should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, the index will undergo a reweighting as specified above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments.

Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the third Friday in February, May, August, and November. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

**Page 177 of **192**

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification. The Committee may remove a company it has determined to be in extreme financial distress if the Committee deems the removal necessary to protect the integrity of the Index. If removed, its weight will be reallocated to the remaining constituents in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Changes in the Index's market
 capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a
 divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index
 value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor
 adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In
 certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced
 too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the
 close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not
 described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional
 cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

**Page 178 of **192**

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

The WisdomTree International LargeCap Index (referred to as "the Index") is designed to track the performance of the largest companies in the international developed market as described below. The Index is assessed annually in November and reconstitution and rebalance occurs following the close of on the eighth business day in December.

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated in U.S. dollars using the primary market prices of constituents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree Core Equity Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee composed of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree") personnel. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed. The Committee will be composed of not less than three (3) members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided, however, that the Committee has ultimate discretion with respect to both the contents of this Methodology and the composition of the published Index.

Meetings of the Committee generally will be held on a quarterly basis or with such frequency as determined appropriate by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, companies must be under coverage by the market management team of the third-party independent index calculation agent and must have traded at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the six months preceding the "Screening Date" (after on the last trading day in November).

Component companies must list their shares on one of the stock exchanges in Europe (i.e., Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), the Tokyo Stock Exchange, on stock exchanges in Australia, Hong Kong, Israel or Singapore.

**Page 180 of **192**

Companies that conduct their Primary Business Activities<sup>60</sup> in Europe, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Israel, or Singapore and have a market capitalization of at least $100 million on the Screening Date and shares of such companies must have had a median daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for three months preceding the Screening Date. Common stocks, REITs, tracking stocks, and holding companies are eligible for inclusion. ADRs, GDRs and EDRs, limited partnerships, royalty trusts, passive foreign investment companies, preferred stocks, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and derivative securities such as warrants and rights are not eligible.

Approximately, the top 500 companies by market capitalization that meet the selection criteria are selected as Index constituents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Index was established with a base value of 200 on April 30, 2021.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Index:

![](h23_formulap181.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. <br> Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1 <br> D = Divisor

The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in USD.

The Index is calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Index. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Index computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

<sup>60</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 181 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The WisdomTree International LargeCap Index is a market-capitalization weighted index.

The Weighting Date is when component weights are set and it occurs on the third business day of the rebalance month. The changes will go into effect after the close of trading on the eighth business day of the rebalance month.

Should the "collective weight" of Index component securities whose individual current weights equal or exceed 5.0% of the Index, when added together, equal or exceed 50.0% of the Index, the weightings in those component securities will be reduced so that their collective weight equals 40.0% of the Index at the close of the current calendar quarter, and other components in the Index will be rebalanced to reflect their relative weights before the adjustment. Further iterations of these adjustments may occur until no company or group of companies violates these rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Index, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Index. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Index require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Index. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments.

**Page 182 of **192**

Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 Component Changes

Additions

Additions to the Index are made at the reconstitution according to the inclusion criteria defined above. Changes are implemented following the close of trading on the eighth business day in December. No additions are made to the Index between reconstitutions, except in the cases of certain spin-off companies defined below.

Deletions

Shares of companies that are de-listed or acquired by a company outside of the Index are deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in composition of the Index. A component company that files for bankruptcy is deleted from the Index and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. If a component company is acquired by another company in the Index for stock, the acquiring company's shares and weight in the Index are adjusted to reflect the transaction after the close of trading on the day prior to the execution date. Component companies that reclassify their shares (i.e., that convert multiple share classes into a single share class) remain in the Index, although index shares are adjusted to reflect the reclassification.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.2. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Index that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Index.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Changes in the Index's market
 capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a
 divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index
 value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor
 adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In
 certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced
 too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the
 close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not
 described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional
 cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

Companies that are acquired, de-listed, file for bankruptcy, or move their Primary Business Activities outside of a defined country in the intervening weeks between the Screening Date and the Reconstitution Date are not included in the Index, and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted accordingly.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Index are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The component companies are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4., and reconstitution of the Index takes effect as defined in section 4.1.

 **Methodology Guide for WisdomTree Adaptive Moving Average Indexes** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Index Overview and Description</u> 

WisdomTree, Inc. (WT) has created the WisdomTree US Adaptive Moving Average Index (referred to as "WAMA") and WisdomTree International Adaptive Moving Average Index (referred to as "WIMA") [together referred to as "the Indexes"].

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The WAMA is designed to provide exposure to U.S. equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills adapting, on a daily basis, to rising and falling trends in the U.S. equity market. The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The WIMA is designed to provide exposure to developed international equity securities and U.S. Treasury bills adapting, on a daily basis, to rising and falling trends in the developed international equity market. The Index is calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Index. The Index is calculated using primary market prices and calculated in U.S. Dollars (USD).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Index Governance</u> 

The Index is overseen by the WisdomTree Core Equity Index Committee (the "Committee"), a standing index committee composed of WisdomTree, Inc. ("WisdomTree") personnel. The composition of the Committee may from time to time be changed. The Committee will be composed of not less than three (3) members. The Committee is responsible for making broad decisions with respect to the implementation, ongoing management, operation and administration of the Index. The primary function of the Committee is to make sure the Index rules are implemented correctly and comprehensively, provided, however, that the Committee has ultimate discretion with respect to both the contents of this Methodology and the composition of the published Index.

Meetings of the Committee generally will be held on a quarterly basis or with such frequency as determined appropriate by the Committee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Key Features</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1. Membership Criteria

Eligible securities for inclusion in the **WAMA**, include equity constituents of the WisdomTree 500 Index and U.S. Treasury bills. 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<sup>61</sup> in the U.S.

Eligible securities for inclusion in the **WIMA**, include equity constituents of the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index and U.S. Treasury bills. The WisdomTree International LargeCap Index is a market-capitalization weighted index composed of equity securities of international large-capitalization companies. To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index, a company must conduct its Primary Business Activities<sup>62</sup> and list its shares on a securities exchange operating in one or more of the following developed countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Israel, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 Base Date and Base Value

The Indexes were established with a base value of 200 on February 27, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 Calculation and Dissemination

The following formula is used to calculate the index levels for the Indexes:

![](h23_formulap186.jpg)

Si = Number of shares in the index for security i. <br> Pi = Price of security i

Ei = Cross rate of currency of Security i vs. USD. If security price in USD, Ei = 1 <br> D = Divisor

The Indexes are calculated to capture price appreciation and total return, which assumes dividends are reinvested into the Indexes. The Indexes are calculated using primary market prices and calculated in USD.

<sup>61</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

<sup>62</sup> The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on 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 ("Country of Risk"), and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. WT may determine to consider additional or different factors depending on the nature of a company's business and operations.

**Page 186 of **192**

The Indexes are calculated whenever the stock exchanges are open. If trading is suspended while the exchange the component company trades on is still open, the last traded price for that stock is used for all subsequent Index computations until trading resumes. If trading is suspended before the opening, the stock's adjusted closing price from the previous day is used to calculate the Indexes. Until a particular stock opens, its adjusted closing price from the previous day is used in the Indexes computation. Index values are calculated on both a price and total-return basis and disseminated on an end-of-day basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 Weighting

The **WAMA** 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. 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) 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 cross 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.

The **WIMA** seeks to adapt to rising and falling trends in the international equity market by allocating its weightings among international 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 International LargeCap Index, which generates a ratio comparing the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index's closing price on a given day with its average closing price over the last 200 days.

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 International LargeCap 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 LargeCap Index or U.S. Treasury bills, as needed in response to the ratio.

When 100% of the Index weight is allocated to U.S. Treasury bills and more than 15% of the constituents of the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index cross above their respective 200-day average closing price, the Index reallocates 100% of its weight to the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index. If the market price of the WisdomTree International LargeCap Index drops by more than 5% since the Index's allocation to the WisdomTree International LargeCap 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 Dividend Treatment

Normal dividend payments are not taken into account in the price Indexes, whereas they are reinvested and accounted for in the total return Indexes. However, special dividends that are not reinvested in the total return Indexes require Index divisor adjustments to prevent the distribution from distorting the price Indexes.

**Page 188 of **192**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 Multiple Share Classes

In the event a component company issues multiple classes of shares of common stock, the share class with the highest median daily volume will be included. Conversion of a share class into another share class results in the deletion of the share class being phased out and an increase in shares of the surviving share class, provided that the surviving share class is in the Indexes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Index Maintenance</u> 

Index Maintenance includes monitoring and implementing the adjustments for company deletions, stock splits, stock dividends, spins-offs, or other corporate actions. Some corporate actions, such as stock splits, stock dividends, and rights offerings require changes in the index shares and the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Some corporate actions, such as stock issuances, stock buybacks, warrant issuances, increases or decreases in dividend per share between reconstitutions, do not require changes in the index shares or the stock prices of the component companies in the Indexes. Other corporate actions, such as special dividends and entitlements, may require Index divisor adjustments.

Any corporate action, whether it requires divisor adjustments or not, will be implemented after the close of trading on the day prior to the ex-date of such corporate actions. Whenever possible, changes to the Index's components, such as deletions as a result of corporate actions, will be announced at least two business days prior to their implementation date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1. Spin-Offs and IPOs

Should a company be spun-off from an existing component company, it is allowed to stay in the Indexes that its parent company is in until the next reconstitution. Spin-off shares of publicly traded companies that are included in the same indexes as their parent company are increased to reflect the spin-off and the weights of the remaining components are adjusted proportionately to reflect the change in the composition of the Index. Companies that go public in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and that meet all other Index inclusion requirements must wait until the next reconstitution to be included in the Indexes or as otherwise determined by the Committee consistent with the criteria herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Index Divisor Adjustments</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1. Changes in the Index's market
 capitalization due to changes in composition, weighting or corporate actions result in a
 divisor change to maintain the Index's continuity. By adjusting the divisor, the Index
 value retains its continuity before and after the event. Corporate actions that require divisor
 adjustments will be implemented prior to the opening of trading on the effective date. In
 certain instances where information is incomplete, or the completion of an event is announced
 too late to be implemented prior to the ex-date, the implementation will occur as of the
 close of the following day or as soon as practicable thereafter. For corporate actions not
 described herein, or combinations of different types of corporate events and other exceptional
 cases, the Committee reserves the right to determine the appropriate implementation method.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Selection Parameters</u> 

Selection parameters for the Indexes are defined in section 3.1. Companies that pass these selection criteria as of the Screening Date are included in the Index unless otherwise determined by the Committee. The components are assigned weights in the Index as defined in section 3.4.

 <u>Appendix A</u>

 **WisdomTree Style Score** 

WisdomTree assigns a Style Score to individual companies using the process below. The Style score is aimed at classifying companies along a spectrum from Value to Growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Companies are assigned to a Geographic
 Region and Market Size (Geography and Size) group depending on Primary Business Activity
 and Market Capitalization. A total of 18 groups are created.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. A Value score is calculated for
 each company by equally weighting the below seven metrics and normalizing across Geography
 and Size groups:

P/E Ratio, Fwd. P/E Ratio, P/S Ratio, Fwd. P/S Ratio, P/OCF Ratio, EV/EBIT Ratio and P/B Ratio

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. A Growth score is calculated for
 each company by equally weighting the below eight metrics and normalizing across Geography
 and Size groups:

Trailing 5yr Sales Growth, Trailing 5yr Earnings Growth, Trailing 5yr Operating Cash Flow Growth, Trailing 3yr Sales Growth, Trailing 3yr Earnings Growth, Trailing 3yr Operating Cash Flow Growth, Estimated Sales Growth and Estimated Earnings Growth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. A Style score is calculated for
 each company be subtracting a company's Value score from its Growth score. Style scores
 are then re-scaled aiming to assign roughly one-third of the total Geographic Market Capitalization
 to Value, Core or Growth. A Style score of less than 10 would mean a company is classified
 as Value, while a score of greater than 20 would mean a company is classified as Growth.
 Scores between 10 and 20 would mean a company is classified as Core.
