RESD Investment Objective and Strategy
WisdomTree Dynamic Currency Hedged International Quality Dividend Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by WisdomTree Trust.
Investment objective
The WisdomTree Dynamic Currency Hedged International Quality Dividend Growth Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree Dynamic Currency Hedged International Quality Dividend Growth Index (the “Index”).
Principal investment strategy
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 (including indirect investments through the WisdomTree International Quality Dividend Growth Fund (the Underlying Fund)) whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Funds total assets (exclusive of collateral held from securities lending) will be invested in component securities of the Index (including indirect investments in the Underlying Fund) and investments that have economic characteristics that are substantially identical to the economic characteristics of such component securities.
The Underlying Fund tracks the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree International Quality Dividend Growth Index (the Underlying Fund Index). The Index and the Underlying Fund Index have identical component securities and employ identical methodologies except that the Underlying Fund Index does not hedge against currency fluctuations. The Underlying Fund, which is also advised by WisdomTree Asset Management, may constitute a substantial portion of the Funds assets. The Index consists of dividend-paying paying common stocks with growth characteristics of companies in the industrialized world, excluding Canada and the United States, while at the same time dynamically hedging currency exposure to fluctuations between the value of the applicable foreign currencies and the U.S.
dollar. The Index is generally comprised of the 300 companies in the WisdomTree International Equity Index with the best combined rank of certain growth and quality factors, specifically long-term earnings growth expectations, return on equity and return on assets. The WisdomTree International Equity Index is a fundamentally weighted index that is comprised of companies that pay regular cash dividends. To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree International Equity Index, a company must be incorporated in and lists its shares for trading on one of the stock exchanges in one of 15 developed European countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, or the United Kingdom), Israel, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, or Singapore.
Currently a significant portion of the Index is comprised of companies organized in the United Kingdom and Japan, although this may change from time to time. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following criteria as of the annual Index screening date: (i) payment of at least $5 million in cash dividends on shares of common stock in the prior annual cycle; (ii) market capitalization of at least $1 billion; (iii) an earnings yield that is greater than its dividend yield; (iv) average daily dollar volume of at least $100,000 for the preceding three months; and (v) trading of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. Eligible companies are ranked according to a rules-based calculation based on the following three factors, weighted as follows: long-term earnings growth expectations (50%), the historical three-year average return on equity (25%), and the historical three-year average return on assets (25%).
The top 300 ranked companies are selected for inclusion in the Index. The Index is reconstituted and rebalanced once each year on the annual Index reconstitution date. Securities are weighted in the Index based on dividends paid over the prior annual cycle. Companies that pay a greater total dollar amount of dividends are more heavily weighted. To derive a companys initial Index weight, (i) multiply the U.S. dollar value of the companys annual gross dividend per share by the number of common shares outstanding for that company (the Cash Dividend Factor); (ii) calculate the Cash Dividend Factor for each company; (iii) add together all of the companies Cash Dividend Factors; and (iv) divide the companys Cash Dividend Factor by the sum of all Cash Dividend Factors. The maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 5% and the maximum weight of any one sector or country in the Index is capped at 20%; however, security, sector and/or country weights may fluctuate above their specified caps in response to market conditions and/or the application of the volume factor adjustments.
If a component security no longer meets applicable trading volume thresholds as of the annual Index screening date, the Index methodology applies a volume factor adjustment to reduce such component securitys weight in the Index and reallocates the reduction in the weight pro rata among the other remaining securities. WisdomTree Investments, Inc., as index provider, currently uses Standard & Poors Global Industry Classification Standards (S&P GICS) to define companies within a sector. The following sectors are included in the Index: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, information technology, materials, real estate, communication services, and utilities. A sector is comprised of multiple industries. For example, the energy sector is comprised of companies in, among others, the natural gas, oil and petroleum industries.
As of September 30, 2018, a significant portion of the Index was comprised of companies in the consumer discretionary, health care and industrial sectors. The Index dynamically hedges currency fluctuations in the relative value of the applicable foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, ranging from a 0% to 100% hedge. The Index determines and adjusts the hedge ratios on such foreign currencies on a monthly basis using three equally-weighted, quantitative signals: interest rate differentials, momentum, and value. Interest rate differentials are determined by measuring the difference in interest rates, as implied in one-month foreign exchange (FX) forwards, between each currency and the U.S. dollar. Momentum is the relative price momentum of the foreign currency as determined by comparing two moving average signals on the historically observed U.S.
dollar spot rates over 10 and 240 business day periods. Value is the relative purchasing power of the foreign currency as determined with reference to the foreign currency spot rate over 20 business days as compared to the latest purchasing power parity (PPP) numbers as published by the Office of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This approach is designed to limit losses related to foreign currencies as such currencies depreciate against the U.S. dollar while participating in gains related to foreign currencies when such currencies appreciate against the U.S. dollar, thereby seeking to have the Fund benefit from such currency movements while reducing the volatility associated with currency returns. The Index applies an applicable published currency forward rate to such foreign currencies to hedge against fluctuations in the relative value of the foreign currencies against the U.S.
dollar pursuant to the applicable hedge ratios. The Fund uses forward currency contracts or futures contracts to the extent foreign currencies are hedged. To the extent the Index concentrates (i.e., holds 25% or more of its total assets) in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the Fund will concentrate its investments to approximately the same extent as the Index.
