The WisdomTree U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund seeks to generate current income and total return in a manner that is consistent with low fluctuations in principal value by investing primarily in very short-term government securities. On May 27, 2009, the WisdomTree U.S. Currency Income Fund was repositioned as a short-term government fixed income fund and renamed the U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund. The Funds average portfolio maturity was lengthened from 90 to 180 days and the Fund increased its focus on government securities. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a money market fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.
The WisdomTree U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund returned 0.03% on net asset value (NAV) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2010 (for more complete performance information please see below).
The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Funds per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for fund shares and investors assessments of the underlying value of a funds portfolio securities.
The Fund is actively managed and uses the Merrill Lynch Spliced Index as a comparative performance benchmark. An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Please see pages 10 and 11 for the list of index descriptions. The annual expense ratio of the Fund during the period was 0.25%.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of money market rates in Brazil available to foreign investors, and to provide exposure to movements in the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar. The Brazilian real is a developing market currency which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a money market fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.
The WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund returned 6.72% on net asset value (NAV) for the six month period ended February 28, 2010 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed the change in the value of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar by 3.35% over the six months ended February 28, 2010. This was largely the result of the interest return embedded in the Funds forward currency contracts and is reflective of the fact that interest rates in Brazil generally were higher than rates in the U.S. during the period.
The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Funds per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding.

As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for fund shares and investors assessments of the underlying value of a funds portfolio securities.
The Fund is actively managed and uses the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+) Brazil as a comparative performance benchmark. An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of money market rates in China available to foreign investors, and to provide exposure to movements in the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar. The Chinese yuan is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a money market fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.
The WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund returned -0.43% on net asset value (NAV) for the six month period ended February 28, 2010 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed the spot currency rate by 0.36% over the six months ended February 28, 2010. This was primarily due to two factors. First, the Fund experienced modest losses on its forward contracts due to unrealized market expectations for a stronger yuan. The yuan continues to be held relatively fixed to the dollar. Additionally, the low interest rates paid on the Funds investment in U.S. money market instruments were not sufficient to overcome this shortfall.
The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Funds per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Emerging Currency Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Although the Fund invests in short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a money market fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.
The WisdomTree Dreyfus Emerging Currency Fund returned 3.25% on net asset value (NAV) for the six month period ended February 28, 2010 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed its industry benchmark, the JPMorgan Emerging Market Index Plus (ELMI+), by 0.79% over the six months ended February 28, 2010. The Fund benefited from heavier concentrations in Latin America, South Africa, and Asia, which largely outperformed currencies in Eastern Europe.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Euro Fund seeks to earn current income reflective of money market rates within the European Union available to foreign investors. The Fund also seeks to maintain liquidity and preserve capital measured in euros.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Indian Rupee Fund seeks to achieve total returns reflective of money market rates in India available to foreign investors, and to provide exposure to movements in the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar. The Indian rupee is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a money market fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.
The WisdomTree Dreyfus Indian Rupee Fund returned 6.43% on net asset value (NAV) for the six month period ended February 28, 2010 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed the change in the value of the Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar by 0.76% over the six months ended February 28, 2010. This was largely the result of the interest return embedded in the Funds forward currency contracts and is reflective of the fact that interest rates in India generally were higher than rates in the U.S. during the period.
The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Funds per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for fund shares and investors assessments of the underlying value of a funds portfolio securities.
The Fund is actively managed and uses the JPMorgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+) India as a comparative performance benchmark. An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and are not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Please see pages 10 and 11 for the list of index descriptions. The annual expense ratio of the Fund during the period was 0.45%.

Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a WisdomTree Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of your Fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2009 to February 28, 2010.
Actual expenses
The first line under each Fund in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period 9/01/09 to 2/28/10 to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line under each Fund in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Funds actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
WisdomTree Trust (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated December 15, 2005. As of February 28, 2010, the Trust offered 52 investment funds. These financial statements relate only to the WisdomTree U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund, formerly WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund (U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund (Brazilian Real Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund (Chinese Yuan Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Emerging Currency Fund (Emerging Currency Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Euro Fund (Euro Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Indian Rupee Fund (Indian Rupee Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus Japanese Yen Fund (Japanese Yen Fund), WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund (New Zealand Dollar Fund) and WisdomTree Dreyfus South African Rand Fund (South African Rand Fund) (each a Fund, collectively, the Funds). The Funds commenced operations as follows: the Brazilian Real Fund, the Chinese Yuan Fund, the Euro Fund and the Indian Rupee Fund commenced operations on May 14, 2008; the U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund and the Japanese Yen Fund commenced operations on May 20, 2008 and May 21, 2008, respectively; the New Zealand Dollar Fund and South African Rand Fund commenced operations on June 25, 2008 and the Emerging Currency Fund commenced operations on May 6, 2009.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification has become the exclusive reference of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification has superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards.
Guarantees In the normal course of business the Funds may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation The Net Asset Value (NAV) of each Funds shares is calculated each day the national securities exchanges are open for trading as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Funds net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. In calculating a Funds NAV, Fund investments generally are valued using market valuations. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less generally are valued on the basis of amortized cost which approximates fair value. U.S. fixed income assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued daily using WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. London time for Europe and the Americas and Tullett Prebon closing spot and forward rates as of 2:00 p.m. Singapore time for Asia. The value of any assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar is converted into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate deemed appropriate by the Fund. In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values, a Funds investments will be valued in accordance with the Funds pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. For these purposes, a price based on amortized cost is considered a market valuation. Securities that may be valued using fair value pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations or whose issuer is in default or bankruptcy, securities subject to corporate actions (such as mergers or reorganizations), securities subject to non-U.S. investment limits or currency controls, and securities affected by significant events. An example of a significant event is an event occurring after the close of the market in which a security trades but before a Funds next NAV calculation time that may materially affect the value of a Funds investment (e.g., government action, natural disaster, or significant market fluctuation). When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
Fair Value Measurement GAAP provides guidance on fair value measurements. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value
measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 significant unobservable inputs (including each Funds assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
WisdomTree Currency Income Funds | 35 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Investments that use Level 2 or Level 3 inputs may include, but are not limited to: (i) an unlisted security related to corporate actions; (ii) a restricted security (e.g., one that may not be publicly sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (iii) a security whose trading has been suspended or which has been de-listed from its primary trading exchange; (iv) a security that is thinly traded; (v) a security in default or bankruptcy proceedings for which there is no current market quotation; (vi) a security affected by currency controls or restrictions; and (vii) a security affected by a significant event (e.g., an event that occurs after the close of the markets on which the security is traded but before the time as of which a Funds net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Funds investments). Examples of events that may be significant events are government actions, natural disasters, armed conflicts and acts of terrorism.
The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of February 28, 2010 in valuing each Funds assets carried at fair value:

Derivative and Hedging Disclosure GAAP requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of this disclosure is effective for fiscal years beginning November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Funds that have invested in derivatives, specifically forward currency contracts during the period ended February 28, 2010 are detailed in the forward currency contract table.
The International Currency Income Funds listed below have invested in derivatives, specifically forward currency contracts as described on pages 40 through 43, during the six month reporting period ended February 28, 2010. The forward contracts are subject to credit risk which is where the financial condition of an issuer of a money market security may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security, therefore, the counterparty to a derivative contract might default on its obligations. The effect of such derivative instruments on the Funds financial position and financial performance as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations are presented in the summary below.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified-cost method. Interest income is accrued daily.
Foreign Currency Translation The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, as well as investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates deemed appropriate by the investment adviser. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on investments are included as a component of net realized and unrealized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions in the Statements of Operations.
Expenses WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (WTAM) has agreed to pay all expenses of the Funds, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other expenses (such as stamp taxes) connected with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions; (ii) legal fees or expenses in connection with any arbitration, litigation or pending or threatened arbitration or litigation, including any settlements in connection therewith; (iii) compensation and expenses of each Independent Trustee; (iv) compensation and expenses of counsel to the Independent Trustees; (v) compensation and expenses of the Trusts chief compliance officer; (vi) extraordinary expenses; (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; and (viii) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.
Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, WTAM has arranged for the provision of chief compliance officer (CCO) services to the Funds, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees, in exchange for a service fee paid by each Fund, of up to 0.0044% of each Funds average daily net assets. As of October 1, 2009, WTAM provides CCO services to the Trust. Trustees fees, which are included in Service Fees on the Statements of Operations, of $31,170 have been paid on behalf of the Funds of the Trust to the Independent Trustees for the six month period ended February 28, 2010. Expenses in excess of 0.0044% were paid by WTAM.
In addition, U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund paid certain additional costs associated with the planned liquidation of the Fund.
Repurchase Agreements Each Funds custodian or a third party custodian under tri-party repurchase agreements, may take possession of the collateral pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is valued on a daily basis at
WisdomTree Currency Income Funds | 39 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
fair value to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, a Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligations. Under certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
Forward Currency Contracts Each Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A Fund may invest in both forward currency contracts and U.S. dollar denominated money market securities in an attempt to create a synthetic investment in a foreign currency denominated instrument.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Short-Term Investments Each Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high-quality money market instruments on an ongoing basis to provide liquidity or for other reasons. The instruments include short-term obligations issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, non-U.S. Government, agencies, negotiable certificates of deposit (CDs), fixed time deposits and bankers acceptances of U.S. and foreign banks and similar institutions, commercial papers, repurchase agreements and money market funds. CDs are short-term negotiable obligations of commercial banks. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits maintained in banking institutions for specified periods of time at stated interest rates. Bankers acceptances are time drafts drawn on commercial banks by borrowers, usually in connection with international transactions.
Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders It is each Funds policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (RIC) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends, if any, to investors at least annually. There can be no guarantee that a Fund will pay dividends. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Trust reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in its reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with the requirements of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the components of net assets based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, that exceed earnings and profit for tax purposes, are reported for tax purposes as a return of capital to the extent of a shareholders tax basis, and thereafter as capital gain.
3. ADVISER FEES AND TRANSACTIONS

GAAP provides guidance on tax provisions that prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Funds understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued and applied to net investment income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the income is earned or capital gains are recorded. As of and during the six months ended February 28, 2010, the Funds did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in Other expenses on the Statements of Operations. The Portfolios file tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, New York, and various states. Generally, each of the tax years in the three year period ended August 31, 2009, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

The WisdomTree Funds are exchange traded funds (ETFs) registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as series of WisdomTree Trust (Trust). WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WisdomTree Investments, Inc., serves as the investment adviser to the WisdomTree Trust. None of the WisdomTree entities are affiliated with ALPS Distributors, Inc., the Funds distributor. WisdomTree Investments, its affiliates and their independent providers are not liable for any informational errors, incompleteness, or delays, or for any actions taken in reliance on information contained herein.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus, containing this and other information, is available at www.wisdomtree.com, or by calling 1-866-909-WISE (9473). Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Indexes are unmanaged and you can not invest directly in an index.
There are risks associated with investing including possible loss of principal. In addition to the normal risks of investing, foreign investing involves special risks, such as risk of loss from currency fluctuation or political or economic uncertainty. Investments in real estate involve additional special risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the effect of varied economic conditions. Funds that focus their investments in one country increase the impact of events and developments associated with the region which can adversely affect performance. Funds focusing on a single country, sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility. Investments in emerging frontier markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than developed markets. Investments in currency involve additional special risks, such as credit risk, interest rate fluctuations, derivative investment risk and the effect of varied economic conditions. Derivatives can be volatile and may be less liquid than other securities. As these Funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the Funds can be adversely impacted by changes affecting issuers. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the currency funds attempt to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of the currency Funds to achieve their objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. Please read the Funds prospectus for specific details regarding each Funds risk profile. Transactions in Fund shares will result in brokerage commissions and will generate tax consequences. Shares may be sold through brokerage accounts, but may be redeemed from the Funds only in large amounts of 50,000 shares or more.
