DWM Profile
The WisdomTree International Equity Fund is strategically designed to provide investors with exposure to a broad array of dividend-paying equities outside of North America. Under normal market conditions, the fund allocates at least 95% of its total assets, excluding collateral from securities lending, to the securities that are part of its underlying index. This investment approach also includes assets that share similar economic characteristics to the index's component securities, ensuring alignment with the fund’s objective.
The fund tracks a fundamentally weighted index that encompasses companies from developed markets globally, excluding the United States and Canada. This index focuses on firms that pay regular cash dividends, offering investors a steady income stream while capturing the growth potential of established international companies. By excluding North American markets, the fund allows investors to diversify their portfolios and tap into opportunities in other major industrialized economies.
The index's methodology emphasizes fundamental weighting, which is based on factors such as dividends paid, rather than traditional market capitalization. This approach aims to capture value by focusing on companies with a strong track record of distributing dividends, reflecting financial stability and consistent performance. As a result, the fund seeks to offer a reliable income source and potential capital appreciation through its dividend-focused strategy.
The WisdomTree International Equity Fund operates as a non-diversified investment vehicle, concentrating its holdings in the selected international equities according to the index's guidelines. This targeted approach is designed to provide investors with a concentrated exposure to high-quality dividend-paying companies in the developed world, excluding the United States and Canada, thereby enhancing their global investment exposure and reducing reliance on North American markets.
