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, at least 95% of the Fund’s total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in constituent securities of the Index and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such constituent securities.

The Index is a fundamentally weighted index that is comprised of earnings-generating companies within the mid-capitalization segment of the U.S. stock market. The Index is comprised of the companies in the top 75% of the market capitalization of the WisdomTree U.S. Total Market Index, which defines the earnings-generating universe of companies in the U.S. stock market, after the 500 largest companies have been removed. As of June 30, 2024, the Index had a market capitalization range from $498.8 million to $27.1 billion, with an average market capitalization of $5.5 billion. Companies in the Index are incorporated, domiciled and listed in the U.S. and have generated positive cumulative earnings over their most recent four fiscal quarters prior to the annual Index screening date. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following criteria as of the annual Index screening date: (i) market capitalization of at least $100 million; (ii) median daily dollar trading volume of at least $200,000 for each of the preceding six months; and (iii) a price to earnings ratio of at least 2.

The Index is earnings weighted annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate earnings each constituent company has generated. Generally, companies with greater earnings typically have larger weights in the Index. On the Index’s annual screening date, the Index caps the weight of constituents exposed to a single sector (except for the real estate sector) at 25%. The weight of constituents exposed to the real estate sector is capped at 15%. The Index also may adjust the weight of individual constituents on the annual screening date based on certain quantitative thresholds or limits tied to key metrics of a constituent security, such as its market capitalization and trading volume. To the extent the Index reduces an individual constituent’s weight, the excess weight will be reallocated pro rata among the other constituents. Similarly, if the Index increases a constituent’s weight, the weight of the other constituents will be reduced on a pro rata basis to contribute the weight needed for such increase. The weight of a sector or individual constituent in the Index may fluctuate above or below specified caps and thresholds, respectively, between screening dates in response to market conditions.

WisdomTree, Inc. (“WisdomTree”), the Index Provider and parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WisdomTree Asset Management” or the “Adviser”), currently uses the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®), a widely recognized industry classification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, to identify the extent of the Index’s exposure to a particular sector or industry. A GICS sector typically is comprised of multiple industries. Because the Fund seeks to track the Index, it is expected to have the same sector and industry exposure as the Index. While the Index’s and the Fund’s sector exposure may vary from time to time, as of June 30, 2024, the Index had significant exposure (e.g., approximately 15% or more of the Index’s total weight) to the Financials, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary Sectors.

To the extent the Index’s constituents are concentrated (i.e., holds more than 25% of constituents) in the securities of companies assigned to a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will seek to concentrate its investments in such industry or group of industries to approximately the same extent as the Index.
