WisdomTree to Launch Industry's First Emerging Markets Small-Cap ETF

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (Pink Sheets: WSDT) today announced that the WisdomTree Trust will launch a new small-cap dividend-weighted ETF tomorrow under the ticker symbol DGS.

“The launch marks WisdomTree’s 27th pure international ETF, and continues our commitment to offer the most comprehensive international offering covering the developed world, emerging markets and non-U.S. sectors.”

This first-to-market offering follows closely behind the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High-Yielding Fund (DEM) launched in July of this year. Both ETFs offer investors exposure to robust and growing markets through a fundamentally weighted indexing strategy that seeks to reduce the potential risk that WisdomTree believes market capitalization-weighted indexes are prone.

DGS will trade on the NYSE Arca and will have an expense ratio of 0.63%. The ETF is designed to track the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index and will be the first ETF to offer pure international exposure to primarily small-cap stocks selected from 19 emerging market nations, including countries in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

“We believe this Emerging Markets ETF offers investors access to fast-growing companies in attractive new markets with the added comfort that comes from WisdomTree’s dividend-focused strategy.” said Bruce Lavine, President & COO of WisdomTree. “The launch marks WisdomTree’s 27^th pure international ETF, and continues our commitment to offer the most comprehensive international offering covering the developed world, emerging markets and non-U.S. sectors.”

Index returns are for illustrative purposes and do not represent actual fund or portfolio performance. A fund or portfolio may differ significantly from the securities included in the index. Index performance assumes the reinvestment of dividends, but does not include management fees, transaction costs, taxes, or expenses that would be incurred by a portfolio or fund, or brokerage commissions on transactions in Fund shares. Such fees, expenses and commissions would reduce returns. Indexes are unmanaged and one cannot invest directly in an index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance information prior to August 1, 2007 presented for the WisdomTree Indexes is based on hypothetical back-tested data (i.e. calculations of how an index might have performed in the past had it existed) for the specified time period(s) shown. Hypothetical back-tested performance has inherent limitations.
