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.

The Index is a modified capitalization-weighted index that is comprised of small cap common stocks selected from the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index, which defines the dividend-paying universe of companies in emerging markets throughout the world. Companies included in the Index fall within the bottom 10% of total market capitalization of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index as of the annual screening date. If a company currently in the Index is no longer ranked in the bottom 10% of total market capitalization of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index at the time of the annual screening date but remains ranked within the bottom 13% of total market capitalization of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index, the company will remain in the Index. As of June 30, 2025, the Index had a market capitalization range from $143.0 million to $9.1 billion, with an average market capitalization of $1.7 billion. To be eligible for inclusion in the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Dividend Index, a company must meet the following key criteria as of the annual screening date: (i) positive earnings and payment of at least $5 million in gross cash dividends (i.e., total dividends paid including capital gains distributions and non-taxable distributions and without excluding taxes, fees and other expenses) on shares of common stock during the preceding annual cycle; (ii) market capitalization of at least $200 million; (iii) median daily dollar trading volume of at least $200,000 for each of the preceding six months; (iv) conduct its Primary Business Activities and list its shares on a securities exchange operating in one or more of the following 18 emerging market nations: Brazil, Chile, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey; and (v) trading of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. The country in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on one or more of the following factors: country of organization or incorporation, country in which a company’s headquarters is located, the country to which a company has the greatest risk exposure, and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocates the greatest resources. In addition, approximately 100 Chinese domestic listed companies that trade via Stock Connect and meet the Index’s eligibility criteria described above will be selected for inclusion based on the bottom 10% market capitalization cut-off. Stock Connect is a securities trading and clearing program designed to facilitate mutual stock market access between mainland China and Hong Kong.

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. On the Index’s annual screening date, the Index caps the weight of constituents exposed to any one country and any one sector (except for the real estate sector) at 25%. The weight of constituents exposed to the real estate sector is capped at 15%. The specified caps and thresholds described above are applied concurrently and in a manner designed to seek to minimize deviation from a constituent’s initial or intended weighting in the Index. 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 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, country, or individual constituent in the Index may fluctuate above or below specified caps and thresholds between rebalance 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 sector or industry. A GICS sector typically is composed 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, 2025, the Index, and, therefore, the Fund, had significant exposure (e.g., approximately 15% or more of the Index’s total weight) to the Financials, Industrials, and Information Technology Sectors.

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

As of June 30, 2025, the equity securities of companies that conduct their Primary Business Activities in Taiwan comprised a significant portion (e.g., approximately 15% or more of the Index’s total weight) of the Index, although the Index’s geographic exposure may change from time to time. As a result, the Fund can be expected to also have significant exposure to Taiwan.
