Information about Performance and Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)

Performance

The performance tables on the following pages are provided for comparative purposes and represent the period noted. Each Fund’s per share net asset value (“NAV”) is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the midpoint of the bid and ask price for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of a Fund’s portfolio securities.

Fund shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using a Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. eastern time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid and ask price as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent month-end performance information visit www.wisdomtree.com.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and an index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds’ performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Shareholder Expense Examples

Each Fund’s performance table is accompanied by a shareholder expense example. As a shareholder of a WisdomTree Fund, you incur two types of cost: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of your Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022. Except where noted, expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after the effect of contractual or voluntary fee waivers, if any), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio does not include acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”), which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies.

Actual expenses

The first line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The WisdomTree Japan Hedged SmallCap Equity Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Japan Hedged SmallCap Equity Index (the “Index”). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests in Japanese small-cap dividend-paying companies while at the same time hedging exposure to fluctuations of the value of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of securities in the Index.

Each Fund seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (“Index”) developed by WisdomTree, Inc. (“WisdomTree”). WisdomTree is the parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”), the investment adviser to each Fund and the Trust. “WisdomTree” is a registered trademark of WisdomTree and has been licensed for use by the Trust. Each Fund described herein is considered to be non-diversified as defined under the 1940 Act.

In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe such exposure to be remote.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) is the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds:

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation — The net asset value (“NAV”) of each Fund’s shares is calculated each day a Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV Calculation Time”). NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares known as creation units, which only certain institutions (e.g., broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade at market prices. Most investors will buy and sell shares in the secondary market through brokers. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV or less than NAV. In calculating each Fund’s NAV, investments are valued under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”). Equity securities (including preferred stock) traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded. Unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) are valued at the last sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price. Each Fund may invest in money market funds which are valued at their NAV per share and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs” or “ETF”) or exchange-traded notes (“ETNs” or “ETN”) 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 ETF or ETN has not traded on its principal exchange. Foreign currency contracts that settle within two business days after the trade date (“Spot Contracts”) and foreign currency contracts having a settlement period greater than two business days after the trade date (“Forward Contracts”) are valued daily using WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates, respectively, as of 4:00 p.m. London time.

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available, a Fund’s investments, which include derivatives, will be fair valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy. The Board of Trustees has established a pricing committee (the “Pricing Committee”) which is comprised of senior representatives of WTAM and which reports to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. In the event that a financial instrument cannot be valued based upon a price from the exchange or system on which it is principally traded, independent pricing service provider or broker-dealer quotation, or such prices are deemed to not reflect current market value, the Pricing Committee may value the financial instrument in good faith under the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees based on current facts and circumstances. Securities that may be valued using “fair value” pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations, securities 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 a Fund’s next NAV Calculation Time that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

Fair Value Measurement — In accordance with Codification Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Pricing Committee will perform other procedures (consistent with GAAP) to value an investment when a market quote is not available. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to be used when determining fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk — for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates,

prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of

investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended (either due to events affecting the issuer of the security specifically or events affecting the primary trading exchange more broadly) or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation or market activity; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets in which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments).

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 positions are as follows:

Financial instruments are generally valued by independent pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. Depending on the type of financial instrument, the independent pricing service providers’ internal pricing models may use inputs that are observable such as issuer details (e.g., credit rating, debt ranking, coupon date, maturity date, etc.), interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or prices obtained from independent pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the financial derivative instruments can be estimated by an independent pricing service provider using a series of techniques including simulation pricing models. The pricing models may use inputs that are observed from actively quoted

markets such as issuer details, indices, credit risks/spreads, interest rates, yield curves, default and exchange rates. Derivative contracts that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate.

Determination of a fair value by the Pricing Committee may include significant unobservable inputs and therefore such financial instruments would be reflected as a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Pricing Committee may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use, among other potential considerations, related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Pricing Committee may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value.

The summary of fair valuations according to the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s assets as of the measurement date is included in a “Fair Valuation Summary” supplementary table in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

During the six months ended September 30, 2022, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure — Codification Topic 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically foreign currency contracts during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022 and open positions in such derivatives as of September 30, 2022 are detailed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. All of the derivative instruments disclosed and described herein are subject to credit risk. Risks may arise upon entering into foreign currency contracts from potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or each other. The Funds’ derivative agreements may also contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Funds’ NAV over a specified time period. If an event occurred at September 30, 2022 that triggered a contingent feature, the counterparty to the agreement may require the Funds to post additional collateral or terminate the derivative positions and demand payment. Any collateral posted with respect to the derivative positions would be used to offset or reduce the payment. The maximum exposure to derivatives agreements with credit risk would be the total value of derivatives in net liability positions for each Fund, as disclosed in the table included in Note 2 — Master Netting Arrangements. Information with respect to the amounts and types of collateral received and/or posted for derivative instruments as of September 30, 2022, if any, is reflected as a footnote within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As of September 30, 2022, the effects of such derivative instruments on each Fund’s financial position as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented in the summary below:

Investment Transactions and Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Dividend income (less foreign taxes withheld, if any) is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable (with respect to foreign dividends) after the existence of a dividend declaration has been determined. Non-cash dividend income is recognized at the fair value of securities received on the ex-dividend date or as soon as practicable (with respect to foreign dividends) after the existence of a dividend declaration has been determined. On each measurement date, the Funds evaluate the collectability of receivable balances. Generally, the Funds will write-off dividend receivable balances that are canceled by the issuer as of date that the dividend receivable cancellation notification was publicly made available or when it becomes probable that dividends will not be collected and the amount of uncollectable dividends can be reasonably estimated. Income earned from securities lending activities (i.e., securities lending income), net of fees payable to the securities borrower and/or securities lending agent, is accrued daily.

Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions that are deemed appropriate by WTAM. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on investments are included as a component of “net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions” and “net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from investment transactions”, respectively, on the Statements

of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency contracts are included in “net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts” and “net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts”, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses recognized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in “net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency related transactions” and/or “net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies” in the Statements of Operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in, or are a reduction of, ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Expenses — Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, except for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and 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 trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds (“Independent Trustees”); (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”); (vi) extraordinary expenses; (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (viii) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Under the investment advisory agreement for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, 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 advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”) (which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies) are not operating expenses of the Funds and are not paid by WTAM.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees. WTAM receives a fee, as shown on the Statements of Operations under “Service fees”, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets for providing such services and paying such expenses. WTAM provides CCO services to the Trust.

Currency Transactions — The Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure. The Funds may not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Contracts — The Funds may enter into foreign currency contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure. The Funds may not enter into such contracts for speculative purposes. During the period ended September 30, 2022, the Funds utilized foreign currency contracts primarily to offset exposure to foreign currencies consistent with each Fund’s investment objective. A foreign currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A foreign currency contract generally does not require an initial margin deposit and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades.

Risks may arise upon entering into foreign currency contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or each other.

Fluctuations in the value of open foreign currency contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency contracts by the Funds and are included in “net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts” on the Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have settled are included in “net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations.

Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities, is maintained at all times. The cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The values of the investments of cash collateral for securities on loan along with the obligations to return such collateral are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The total value of securities received as collateral for securities on loan is included in a footnote following each Schedule of Investments, but is not included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities because the receiving Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral. As compensation for lending its securities, each Fund retains all or a portion of the interest received on investment of cash collateral or receives a fee from the borrower (net of any fee rebates paid to the borrower). The lending agent receives a portion of the income earned by the Funds in connection with the lending program. The net securities lending income earned by the Funds is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. The dividend income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. Dividends received while a security is out on loan are not considered Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) under the specific criteria issued by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to taxation at the shareholder’s ordinary income tax rate instead of the lower long-term capital gains tax rate. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. In the event of a borrower default with respect to the failure to return to each Fund some or all of the securities loaned, the securities lending agent shall indemnify each Fund against the failure of the borrower if the value of the collateral received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned.

Master Netting Arrangements — Codification Topic 210 (“ASC 210”), Balance Sheet, requires disclosures generally intended to (i) help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position, (ii) improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, and (iii) facilitate comparisons between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of international financial reporting standards. ASC 210 requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASC 210 is limited in scope to the following financial instruments, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement: (i) recognized derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging); (ii) repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; and (iii) securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund enters into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”), such as foreign currency contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g., foreign currency contracts, options and certain swaps). To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty’s non-performance.

The Funds’ securities lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Funds and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, a Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. A Fund is exposed to risk of loss if a Borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities and the value of the collateral a Fund received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned. Also, the lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower. However, in the event of a borrower default with respect to the failure to return to each Fund some or all of the securities loaned, the securities lending agent shall indemnify each Fund against the failure of the borrower if the value of the collateral received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement or Lending Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a

The amount of collateral presented has been limited such that the net amount by counterparty cannot be less than zero.

Short-Term Investments — Each 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 include short-term obligations issued by the U.S. government, its agencies, non-U.S. government agencies, negotiable certificates of deposit (“CDs”), fixed time deposits and bankers’ acceptances of U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions, commercial papers, repurchase agreements and money market funds. 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.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). A portion of the Code, known as subchapter M (“Subchapter M”), addresses the ways by which investment companies and investment trusts may pass income through to shareholders in order to avoid double taxation. Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code so that it will not be subject to federal income tax on income and gains that are timely distributed to Fund shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded to RICs and their shareholders, each Fund must, among other things, distribute with respect to each taxable year an amount equal to or greater than the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will pay dividends. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. 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 each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations (i.e., tax basis) which may differ to amounts determined under GAAP (i.e., book basis). These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

WTAM has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust. WTAM provides an investment program for each Fund. WTAM has arranged for Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) to provide sub-advisory services to the Funds. Mellon is compensated by WTAM at no additional cost to the Funds. WTAM also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund accounting, fund administration, securities lending and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate, which are generally under separate agreements entered into between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and the applicable service provider. Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, WTAM agrees to pay all expenses of the Funds, except for certain expenses described in Note 2.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, as also described in Note 2, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees in exchange for a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

WTAM expects to receive annual advisory fees from each Fund, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, as shown in the following table:

Affiliated holdings are investments in entities in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities or are investments in entities which are under common ownership or control. Transactions in shares of affiliated ETFs for the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, as applicable, are included in an “Investment in Affiliates” supplementary table in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For these transactions, WTAM voluntarily waives a portion of the advisory fees, that it would otherwise charge, in an amount equal to the indirect AFFEs (which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies) attributable to each Fund’s investment in affiliated ETFs. The dollar amount of advisory fees waived during the period for the Funds, if any, are included in the Statement of Operations in “Expense waivers”.

WTAM and/or WisdomTree (collectively herein, “WT”) may from time to time own shares of a Fund. As of and for the six months ended September 30, 2022, WT held shares of and received distributions from the following Funds, which were purchased through an unaffiliated broker in ordinary brokerage transactions in the secondary market in which the Funds’ shares trade:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of September 30, 2022, there were an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in creation units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in creation units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of creation units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a basket of securities and/or an amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming creation units may be charged a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding purchases and sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions and short-term investments) and the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions (excluding

Certain financial derivatives may be considered section 1256 contracts under the Code. Each section 1256 contract held at the close of a taxable year shall be treated as sold for its fair market value on the last business day of such taxable year (and any realized gain and loss shall be taken into account for the taxable year). As such, the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for financial derivatives on a tax basis may not correspond to the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on a GAAP basis. The unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for financial derivatives on a GAAP basis is located in the respective financial derivatives tables in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

GAAP provides guidance on tax provisions that prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign withholding taxes, as applicable, are accrued based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Foreign withholding taxes are accrued and applied to foreign income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the foreign income is earned or capital gains and unrealized appreciation are recorded. The dollar amount of applicable foreign withholding taxes on foreign income is included net in the Statements of Operations in “Less: Foreign withholding taxes,” the foreign capital gains tax applicable on the disposal of securities is included in the Statements of Operations in “Net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions” and the dollar amount of deferred foreign capital gains tax applicable on the unrealized appreciation on securities held is included in the Statements of Operations in “Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from investment transactions”. The Funds record a foreign tax reclaim receivable on the ex-dividend date if the tax reclaim is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. This determination is based on, among other things, a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Foreign tax reclaims that have been recorded but not yet received are shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities in “Receivables: Foreign tax reclaims”.

As a result of several European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) court cases in certain countries across the European Union (“EU”), certain Funds have filed additional tax reclaims for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries (“ECJ tax reclaims”). These additional filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by the local jurisdictions’ tax authorities within the EU, as well as a number of related judicial proceedings. Income recognized, if any, for ECJ tax reclaims is reflected as “Other income” in the Statements of Operations and the cost to file these additional ECJ tax reclaims is reflected as “Other fees” in the Statements of Operations. When the ECJ tax reclaim is not “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities due to the uncertainty that exists as to the ultimate resolution of these proceedings, the likelihood of receipt of these ECJ tax reclaims, and the potential timing of payment, no amounts are reflected in the financial statements. At September 30, 2022, the Europe Hedged SmallCap Equity Fund recognized ECJ tax reclaim receivables of $20,235 in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities in “Other

receivables” that were “more likely than not” to be sustained by tax authorities and the estimated cost of $6,071 to file for these reclaims is reflected in “Other liabilities” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For U.S. income tax purposes, ECJ tax reclaims received by the Funds, if any, reduce the amounts of foreign taxes Fund shareholders can use as tax credits in their individual income tax returns. In the event that ECJ tax reclaims received by a Fund during the fiscal year exceed foreign withholding taxes paid, and a Fund previously passed foreign tax credits on to its shareholders, a Fund must either amend historic tax reporting to shareholders or enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service in order to pay the associated tax liability on behalf of the respective Fund’s shareholders. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, the ECJ tax reclaims received by the Funds, except for the Europe Hedged Equity Fund, did not exceed the foreign withholding taxes of the respective Funds. During the fiscal period ended September 30, 2022, the Europe Hedged Equity Fund received ECJ tax reclaims in excess of its foreign withholding taxes during the fiscal period. The Europe Hedged Equity Fund expects to enter into a closing agreement with the Internal Revenue Service and has recognized estimated closing agreement fees of $2,082,923 which are shown on the Statements of Operations in “Investment Income: Less IRS closing agreement fee”.

7. RECENT REGULATORY UPDATE

Effective August 19, 2022, the Funds have adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with new regulations issued by the SEC governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation framework used by the Funds prior to August 19, 2022 to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and requires funds, whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount, to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Rule 18f-4 has not had a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

The fair valuation Rule 2a-5 went into effect on September 8, 2022. The Rule sets forth requirements for determining the fair value of portfolio securities and establishes a framework focused on process, testing and oversight. The Rule allows fund boards to designate a valuation designee responsible for performing fair value determinations in good faith. WTAM has been designated as the Valuation Designee for the Funds and is responsible for assessing material risks, establishing fair value methodologies, testing the appropriateness and accuracy of the methodologies and overseeing third-party pricing vendors. Under the new fair valuation policies, WTAM is responsible for regular quarterly reporting of any material fair valuation matter, annual reporting on the adequacy of the Valuation Designee’s processes, and the prompt notification to the board of any material impact of the fair value process on portfolio investments.

8. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sales Restrictions. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on a sale of an equity security is not considered a part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: (i) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, (ii) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and (iii) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities (early adoption is also permitted). WTAM is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2202-03 will have on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective November 7, 2022, WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded fund and exchange-traded product sponsor and asset manager, transferred the listing of its common stock to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from The Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). WisdomTree began trading on the NYSE under the new ticker symbol “WT” along with its new company name, WisdomTree, Inc.

10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread globally since 2019, resulting in a global pandemic and major disruption to global markets and economies. In an organized attempt to contain and mitigate the effects of COVID-19, governments and businesses world-wide took aggressive measures, including businesses canceling dividends to preserve cash, governments closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations. COVID-19 has resulted in the disruption of and delays in the delivery of healthcare services and processes, the cancellation of organized events and educational institutions, the disruption of production and supply chains, a decline in consumer

demand for certain goods and services, and general concern and uncertainty, all of which have contributed to increased volatility in global markets. In recent months, however, the rapid COVID-19 vaccination rollout in the United States and certain other developed countries, coupled with the passage of stimulus programs in the U.S. and abroad, have resulted in a reversal of many of these trends including the re-opening of businesses, a reduction in quarantine requirements, increased consumer demand, and the resumption of certain in-person schooling, travel and events. Despite these positive trends, the prevalence of new COVID-19 variants, a failure to achieve herd immunity, or other unforeseen circumstances may result in the continued spread of the virus throughout unvaccinated populations or a resurgence in infections among vaccinated populations. As a result, it remains unclear if recent positive trends will continue in developed markets and whether such trends will spread world-wide to countries with limited access to vaccines that are still experiencing rising COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

The effects of COVID-19 have affected and are likely to continue to affect certain sectors and industries more dramatically than others, and the effects borne by some will negatively affect the value of the issuers in those sectors and industries, which may adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments in those sectors or industries. It is also true that the speed at which global economies recover, or fail to recover, from the COVID-19 pandemic will affect certain sectors, industries, and issuers more dramatically than others, which in turn may adversely affect certain Fund investments.

COVID-19, and other epidemics and pandemics 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. In addition, the impact of infectious diseases in developing or emerging market countries may be greater due to limited health care resources, including access to COVID-19 vaccinations and treatments. Political, economic and social stresses caused by COVID-19 also may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries. The duration of COVID-19 and its effects cannot be determined fully at this time, but the effects could be present for an extended period of time. It is impossible to predict the effects on the Funds 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 a Fund.

*    *    *    *    *

Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine initiated in February 2022 and the economic and diplomatic responses by the United States and other countries have led to increased volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets and could continue to adversely affect regional and global economies for the foreseeable future. In response to Russia’s actions, the governments of the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and many other countries collectively imposed heavy and broad-ranging economic sanctions on certain Russian individuals, corporate and banking entities, and other industries and businesses. The sanctions restrict companies from doing business with Russia and Russian companies, prohibit transactions with the Russian central bank and other key Russian financial institutions and entities, ban Russian airlines and ships from using many other countries’ airspace and ports, respectively, and place a freeze on certain Russian assets. The sanctions also removed some Russian banks from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT), the electronic network that connects banks globally to facilitate cross-border payments. In addition, the United States has banned oil and other energy imports from Russia, and the United Kingdom made a commitment to phase out oil import from Russia by the end of 2022.

These sanctions, as well as other economic consequences related to the invasion, such as additional sanctions, boycotts or changes in consumer or purchaser preferences or cyberattacks on governments, companies or individuals, may further decrease the value and liquidity of certain Russian securities and securities of issuers in other countries that are subject to economic sanctions related to the invasion or otherwise adversely affected by the sanctions. To the extent a Fund has exposure to Russian investments or investments in countries affected by the invasion or the sanctions, the Fund’s ability to price, buy, sell, receive or deliver, or receive dividends and interest payments on such investments may be impaired. In certain circumstances, such as when there is no market for a security or other means of valuing or disposing of a security, a Fund may determine to value the affected security at zero. In addition, any exposure a Fund may have to counterparties in Russia or in countries affected by the invasion could negatively affect the Fund’s portfolio. The extent and duration of Russia’s military actions and the repercussions of such actions are impossible to predict, but could result in continued significant market disruptions, including in the oil and natural gas markets, and may negatively affect global supply chains, inflation and global growth. Further, an escalation of the military conflict beyond Ukraine’s borders could result in significant, long-lasting damage to the economies of Eastern and Western Europe as well as the global economy. These and any related events could significantly and adversely affect a Fund’s performance and the value of an investment in the Fund, even in the absence of direct exposure to Russian issuers or issuers in other countries affected by the invasion.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited)

 

Consideration of the Approval and Renewal of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) held on September 19-20, 2022 (the “Meeting”), the Trustees, including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreements between WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”) and the Trust, on behalf of its applicable series (each, a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”), pursuant to which WTAM provides the Funds with investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreements”), and (ii) the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Mellon Sub-Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which Mellon Investments Corporation (“Mellon”) coordinates the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the applicable Funds, (together with the Advisory Agreements, the “Agreements”).

The Trustees requested, and WTAM provided, such information as the Trustees, with advice from counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements. At a meeting of a committee of Independent Trustees (the “Contracts Review Committee”) held on August 11, 2022, representatives from WTAM presented detailed information to the Trustees relating to the continuance of the Agreements, and the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information. Further information was presented at the Board’s request at the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from WTAM representatives and the Sub-Advisers. In considering the approval and renewal of the Agreements, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the factors considered. Each Fund was considered separately.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds. The Board considered information provided to them at the Meeting and in previous presentations throughout the year from WTAM representatives regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds, recognizing WTAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operational capabilities and resources. The Board also discussed the role of WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (“WTI”), the parent of WTAM, as index provider to certain Funds, which comprise the substantial majority of assets in the WisdomTree fund complex. The Board noted that the strategies represented by those Funds tracking affiliated WTI indexes are unique, based on WTI’s intellectual property and are only available for use by applicable Funds through WTAM. The Board noted WTAM’s belief that shareholders have invested in such Funds on the strength of WTI’s intellectual property and WTAM’s industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that WTAM will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds based on the WTI indexes. The Board also noted the extensive responsibilities that WTAM has as investment adviser to the Funds, including: the selection of, and supervisory responsibilities and activities over, the Sub-Advisers, including oversight of the Sub-Advisers’ adherence to each Fund’s investment strategy and restrictions, monitoring of the Sub-Advisers’ buying and selling of securities and derivatives transactions, review of Sub-Adviser performance, review of proxies voted by the Sub-Advisers and oversight of, and the provision of consultation to, the Sub-Advisers with respect to the creation of custom creation or redemption baskets for authorized participants; oversight of the daily valuation of the Funds’ portfolio holdings; oversight of general Fund compliance with federal and state laws; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. The Board also considered research support available to, and management capabilities of, the Funds’ management personnel and that WTAM provides oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting, tax matters, administration and legal assistance in meeting disclosure and regulatory requirements. Based on management’s representations, the Board expected that there would be no reduction in the scope of services required by or provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers under the relevant Agreements. The Board noted that WTAM has continued to commit significant resources toward the fund complex and has made substantial investments to improve the services offered by WTAM, which benefit Fund shareholders.

Based on review of this information and the other factors considered at the Meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, are adequate and appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the approval and renewal of the Agreements.

Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio. The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information (1) measuring each index Fund’s performance by how well it tracked the relevant benchmark index, (2) comparing each Fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) for various periods ended May 31, 2022, and (3) comparing each Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and, with respect to total expenses, with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Contracts Review Committee and the Independent Trustees previously had reviewed and discussed the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes. The Board noted that the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes included only pure-index and index-based exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) as comparison funds. The Board also noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there are limitations in providing comparable funds in the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes, and the information in the Broadridge reports may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (continued)

 

The Board discussed the index Funds’ performance, noting that the substantial majority of index Funds seek to track their own WisdomTree benchmark index. During the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Funds’ performance in comparison to their relevant benchmark indexes. In response to questions from the Independent Trustees, WTAM representatives discussed the relative performance of the Funds and the factors affecting such performance. On that basis, the Board determined to continue to monitor carefully disparities in performance—both positive and negative—but did not believe that the disparities in the past reflected any characteristics requiring immediate action by WTAM or a Sub-Adviser.

The Board also reviewed the range of actual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group funds and, with respect to total expenses, Expense Universe funds, and discussed the results of the comparisons. With respect to comparisons of actual management fees, the Board noted the Funds’ unitary fee structure and that the Expense Groups and Expense Universes generally included both ETFs with and without a unitary fee structure. The Board also noted that certain comparison funds in certain Expense Groups and Expense Universes benefited from waivers of all or a portion of their management fees and reimbursement of certain operating expenses. The Board noted that the total expenses of many of the Funds were within five basis points of the median or average total expenses of the funds in the Funds’ respective Expense Groups. In those specific instances where a Fund’s total expenses departed more significantly from comparative funds, the Independent Trustees sought explanations from WTAM, which generally attributed the disparities to the limitations within peer data and/or the unique attributes of a Fund.

The Board considered the fees to the Sub-Advisers in relation to the fees paid to WTAM by the Funds and the respective services provided by the Sub-Advisers and WTAM. The Board also noted that the Sub-Advisers’ fees are paid by WTAM (out of its fee paid by the relevant Funds) and not the Funds. The Board considered the meaningful differences in the services that WTAM provides to the Funds as compared to the Sub-Advisers, including that the role of a Sub-Adviser in making investment recommendations with respect to a Fund tracking an index is a rules-based function, with oversight by WTAM in seeking to ensure compliance with such rules. The Board also considered the role of a Sub-Adviser in making investment recommendations with respect to a Fund that is model-based, with oversight by WTAM in seeking to ensure consistency with such quantitative models. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial and expense risk borne by WTAM that is associated with Funds’ unitary fee structure, which frequently includes minimum fees (such as those to a Sub-Adviser), regardless of whether the asset size of a Fund has grown to a sufficient size.

Based on this review and the other factors considered at the Meeting, the Board concluded that, with respect to each Fund, the Fund’s performance, the fees paid to WTAM and the relevant Sub-Adviser and the Fund’s total expenses supported the Board’s approval and renewal of the relevant Agreements.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. WTAM representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by WTAM and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each Fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to WTAM for managing the WisdomTree fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit.

The Board considered the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for each Fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. WTAM representatives noted that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a Fund having achieved a substantial size and that, if a Fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that WTAM may have realized material economies of scale would be less. WTAM representatives also noted that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among the WisdomTree funds, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the fund complex as a whole and the relative size and asset size changes among the Funds. The Board noted that, in the past, certain Funds had grown rapidly over a relatively short period of time after longer periods of slow or no growth, during which there were years of losses for WTAM in managing such Funds that had only recently turned profitable and years of substantial cumulative losses to WTAM in managing the fund complex as a whole. WTAM representatives stated that there has been significant volatility in the assets of individual Funds and in the fund complex as a whole over time (including volatility in profitability) and that it was not clear that current asset levels will be maintained. WTAM representatives noted that assets in certain Funds have diminished at times at a rapid rate (including during the last year) and could continue to do so. WTAM representatives also noted that economies of scale currently are shared with the Funds by way of the unitary fee structure of the Trust, as well as through additional investment in the WisdomTree business. The Board noted that the Contracts Review Committee had focused on the issue of economies of scale during its meetings. The Board also noted that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale, focusing in particular on Funds that have experienced significant asset growth, to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future. The Board also considered potential benefits to WTAM and the Sub-Advisers from acting as investment adviser and sub-advisers, respectively, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the Funds’ investments. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profitability results were consistent with the services rendered and service levels provided by WTAM and the entrepreneurial risk WTAM has undertaken over time.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (unaudited) (concluded)

 

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the approval to renew the Agreements. In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered the conclusions and determinations discussed above and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with WTAM and the Sub-Advisers, of the Funds and the services provided to the Funds by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the Funds and the investment advisory and other services provided under the Agreements. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

Investments in currency involve additional special risks, such as credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Derivative investments can be volatile and these investments may be less liquid than other securities, and more sensitive to the effect of varied economic conditions. As these Funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the Funds can be adversely impacted by changes affecting such issuers. Due to the investment strategy of certain Funds they may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs.
