WisdomTree

WisdomTree is a global financial innovator that offers a diversified suite of exchange-traded products (ETPs), models and solutions, as well as digital asset-related products. The firm describes its offerings as designed to empower investors to shape their financial future and to equip financial professionals to grow their businesses. By leveraging modern financial infrastructure, WisdomTree builds products that emphasize access, transparency and an enhanced user experience.

The company launched in June 2006 with a stated mission to create a better way to invest. Its founding premise held that investors should not have to choose between cost efficiency and performance potential, so it developed a family of ETFs designed to deliver both. WisdomTree combines the outperformance potential of active management with the benefits of passive management, an approach it brands as Modern Alpha, to create ETFs built for performance.

WisdomTree’s investment philosophy rests on the view that market-cap weighting is flawed and that pricing errors and return premiums exist. The firm believes fundamentals matter and that the concept of relative value is important. Its fundamentally weighted approach, which it says can produce attractive returns with less risk and expense than active management, made it a pioneer in factor-based investing. Its strategies are available primarily as ETFs, which can offer intra-day liquidity, transparency and tax efficiency.

The product range spans asset classes and market cycles. WisdomTree offers equity, fixed income, commodity and currency exposures, and its European family includes pioneering UCITS ETFs and ETPs as well as short and leveraged exposures. In October 2014 the company brought its philosophy to Europe. The firm also offers model portfolios and solutions alongside its exchange-traded products.

WisdomTree serves investors and financial professionals globally. Its solutions are positioned to meet investor needs across asset classes and market cycles, and it supports financial professionals seeking to better serve their clients and grow their businesses. The company has reported managing tens of billions of dollars in exchange-traded products globally, and its European business is presented as a growing platform for UCITS ETFs and ETPs.

WisdomTree describes an inclusive workforce across its entire organization. Its Community and Connection Collective (C3) oversees efforts to foster an inclusive culture where every individual feels valued. An employee-led Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) supports career growth and leadership development through global events, educational seminars, roundtable discussions, charitable initiatives and a mentorship program that pairs employees of all genders with firm leaders. The firm has been recognized by Pensions & Investments as a Best Place to Work in Money Management, and its European business has been certified as one of the UK’s Best Workplaces.

The company presents itself as a dynamic, fast-paced environment and actively recruits high-caliber industry talent. It lists benefits including generous pension contributions in Europe and 401(k) contributions in the US, medical coverage, parental leave, educational reimbursement, health and well-being programs, charitable giving and volunteer experiences. WisdomTree states that it is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity in the consideration of all applicants and existing employees.
