The WisdomTree Brazilian Real Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in Brazil available to foreign investors and changes in value of 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 Fund returned 5.00% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed the change in the spot currency rate by 2.37% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was largely due to the Fund’s investments in U.S. money market instruments and forward currency contracts.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price 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 fund’s portfolio securities.

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 Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns also do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2013, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.45%.

Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of Fund trading on the NYSE Arca on May 14, 2008.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data for the most recent month-end is available at www.wisdomtree.com. WisdomTree shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using the Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative.

The WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in China available to foreign investors and changes in value of 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 Fund returned 2.46% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed the change in the spot currency rate by 0.47% based on NAV for the six-month period. This outperformance was largely the result of the Fund’s investments in U.S. money market instruments, forward currency contracts, and locally-denominated time deposits.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund.

The WisdomTree Commodity Currency Fund (the “Fund”) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of money market rates in selected commodity-producing countries and changes in value of such countries’ currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. The term “commodity currency” generally is used to describe the currency of a country whose economic success is commonly identified with the production and export of commodities (such as precious metals, oil, agricultural products or other raw materials) and whose value is closely linked to the value of such commodities. The Fund intends to invest in commodity-producing countries, such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Russia and South Africa. This list may change based on market developments. Although this 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 Fund returned 1.96% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Commodity Producers Currency Index (CPCI-6), by 0.50% based on NAV for the six-month period. This outperformance was largely the result of the Fund’s allocation to the Chilean peso and New Zealand dollar.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Fund (the “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. Emerging market currencies can experience periods of significant volatility. 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 Fund returned 4.03% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed its industry benchmark, the JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus, by 0.58% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was largely due to the Fund’s underweight in Hong Kong and Singapore relative to the benchmark.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 fund’s portfolio securities.

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 Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns also do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2013, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.45%.

The WisdomTree Asia Local Debt Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in the currencies of a broad range of Asian countries.

The Fund returned 3.56% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the HSBC Asian Local Bond Index, by 1.34% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was the result of the Fund’s investments in shorter duration securities that underperformed as central banks in Asia cut interest rates.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price 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 fund’s portfolio securities.

The Wisdom Tree Australia & New Zealand Debt Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in Australian or New Zealand dollars.

The Fund returned 0.58% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the Citigroup Australian Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index, by 0.03% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was the result of the Fund’s investments in shorter duration securities that underperformed as the Royal Bank of Australia cut interest rates.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively.

Previously, the Fund’s performance was compared to the BofA Merrill Lynch New Zealand Dollar One-Month LIBID Constant Maturity Index as its primary benchmark. The Fund’s investment adviser has elected to compare the Fund’s performance to the Citigroup Australian Broad Investment-Grade Bond Index because it believes this is the most appropriate measure for comparison to the Fund’s performance.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in debt securities issued by corporate entities that are domiciled in, or economically tied to, emerging market countries.

The Fund returned 4.44% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the JP Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (CEMBI) Broad, by 0.47% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was the result of the Fund’s overweight to investments in emerging market corporate bonds in the Oil & Gas sector.

The Fund returned 6.23% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the JP Morgan Government Bond Index — Emerging Markets (GBI-EM) Global Diversified Index, by 1.05% based on NAV for the six-month period.

The WisdomTree Euro Debt Fund (the “Fund”) seeks a high level of total return consisting of both income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in fixed income instruments denominated in euros.

The Fund returned 4.48% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch Euro Government Index, by 3.41% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was a result of the Fund’s avoidance of debt from Portugal, Italy, Ireland, and Spain.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price 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 fund’s portfolio securities.

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 Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns also do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2013, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.35%.

Previously, the Fund’s performance was compared to the BofA Merrill Lynch Euro Currency One-Month LIBID Constant Maturity Index as its primary benchmark. The Fund’s adviser has elected to compare the Fund’s performance to the BofA Merrill Lynch Euro Government Index because it believes this is the most appropriate measure for comparison to the Fund’s performance.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data for the most recent month-end is available at www.wisdomtree.com. WisdomTree shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using the Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. Market price returns do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Total returns for a period of less than one year are cumulative.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through investment in debt securities issued by corporate entities that are organized in or maintain their principal place of business in countries throughout the world, including the U.S. The issuers of such debt will include public, private, and state-owned or sponsored corporations.

The Fund returned 1.00% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on January 31, 2013 through February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund outperformed its industry benchmark, the Barclays Global Credit Index (Hedged), by 0.30% based on NAV for the period. This was the result of the Fund’s overweight in investments in global high yield bonds.

The WisdomTree Global Real Return Fund (the “Fund”) seeks total returns (capital appreciation plus income) that exceed the rate of inflation over long-term investment horizons.

The Fund returned 0.36% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Fund underperformed its industry benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Diversified Inflation-Linked Index by 2.89% based on NAV for the six-month period. This was the result of the negative performance of its allocation to commodity strategies.

The following performance chart is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s 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 price 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 price 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 fund’s portfolio securities.

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 Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns also do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2013, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.61%.

The Fund returned -1.42% on net asset value (“NAV”) for the six-month period ended February 28, 2013 (for more complete performance information please see below).

Description of Terms and Indexes (unaudited) (continued)

 

Diversified Trends Indicator:

The Diversified Trends Indicator (“DTI”) is a long/short rules-based index that consists of ten commodity sectors and eight financial sectors. Each month the DTI Index sector exposure is rebalanced back to the fixed weights, 50% physical commodities and 50% financials (when energy is long) and approximately 40% commodities and 60% financials (when energy is flat). Each sector (other than the energy sector) is positioned either long or short depending on the current market environment (the energy sector is positioned as either “long” or “flat” (i.e., no exposure)). The DTI Index individual market components, sectors and related weightings, as well as other aspects of the calculation of the DTI Index, are subject to change at any time.

Equal-Weighted Commodity Currency Composite:

A composite incorporating equal-weighted exposures to the currencies within the Commodity Currency Fund was constructed as a benchmark for Fund performance. Returns for the individual emerging market currencies are represented by the return of the country subindices of the JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+). Returns for the individual developed market countries are represented by the returns of the BofA Merrill Lynch One-Month Constant Maturity LIBID Index for each country. The JP Morgan indices use a weighted basket of one-month, two-month and three-month currency forwards collateralized with U.S. money market rates to proxy the returns for emerging currency positions. The BofA Merrill Lynch indices track a consistent investment in one-month bank deposits denominated in the specified currency. Within the composite, currency exposures are rebalanced back to equal-weight at the end of the month in which the Fund rebalances its portfolio. Changes to currencies within the Fund are reflected in the composite at the end of the month they are added to, or deleted from, the Fund.

Equal-Weighted Emerging Currency Composite:

A composite incorporating equal-weighted exposure to the currencies within the Emerging Currency Fund was constructed as an additional gauge of Emerging Currency Fund performance. Currently, the composite tracks the returns for the currencies of the following countries: Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Poland, Indonesia, South Africa, Turkey, India, China, Russia and South Korea, using the total returns of the country subindices of the JP Morgan Emerging Local Markets Index Plus (ELMI+). Each subindex uses a weighted basket of one-month, two-month and three-month currency forwards (deliverable or nondeliverable) collateralized with U.S. money market rates to proxy the total returns of an investment in local-currency money market instruments. Currency exposures are rebalanced back to equal-weighting at the end of the month in which the Emerging Currency Fund intends to rebalance, and currency changes are reflected in the composite at the end of the month they are reflected in the Fund.

Euro Zone Area:

The area encompassing the European Union Member States whose currency is the euro and in which there is a single monetary policy. It currently comprises Belgium, Germany, Greece, Spain, Estonia, Ireland, France, Italy, Cyprus, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia and Finland.

Forward Currency Contracts:

A forward currency contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. A forward contract may either be deliverable or non-deliverable. A deliverable forward currency contract is an agreement by two parties to transact in currencies at a specific rate on a future date upon which each party delivers the promised currency. A non-deliverable forward currency contract is an agreement by two parties to transact in currencies at a specific rate on a future date and then cash settle the agreement with a simple exchange of the market value difference between the current market rate and the initial agreed-upon rate.

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, 2012 to February 28, 2013 for all funds except WisdomTree Global Corporate Bond Fund for which the period is January 31, 2013 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2013.

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 the Period 9/1/12 to 2/28/13” 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 Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries

The financial statements of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Global Real Return Fund are consolidated and each includes the accounts of a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (each, a “Subsidiary,” together, the “Subsidiaries”). For the Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Global Real Return Fund, the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations of each Fund on a consolidated basis with its respective Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Each Fund seeks to gain exposure to commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in its Subsidiary. Each Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Fund’s total assets at the end of each fiscal quarter.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) is 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 following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

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. Therefore, no liabilities have been recorded in connection with these indemnifications.

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 Fund’s 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. New York time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. In calculating each Fund’s NAV, investments are valued under policies approved by the Board of Trustees. Fixed income securities generally are valued at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from dealers or independent pricing services. Dealers or independent pricing services, in determining the value of securities may consider such factors as recent transactions, indications from dealers, yields and prices on similar securities, and market sentiment for the type of security. U.S. fixed income assets may be valued as of the announced closing

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. Forward foreign currency contracts generally 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. Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price on the primary exchange on which they trade. Swap contracts are generally marked to market daily based upon values from third party vendors or quotations from market makers to the extent available. 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.

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available or are not deemed to reflect current market values, a Fund’s investments and derivatives will be valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. In addition, securities may be valued using fair value pricing and may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations, securities 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 Fund’s next NAV calculation time that may materially affect the value of a Fund’s 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. Each Fund may invest in money market funds which are valued at such money market fund’s NAV per share.

Fair Value Measurement — In accordance with Codification Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classifications of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk — for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is 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 Fund’s assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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 Fund’s NAV is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market values of financial instruments are as follows:

Financial instruments are valued by pricing service providers that use broker dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. Depending on the type of financial instrument, the service providers’ internal models use inputs that are observable such as issuer details, interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risks/spreads, default rates and quoted prices for similar assets. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost which approximates fair market value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as forward foreign currency contracts or swaps agreements, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker dealer quotations or pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the financial derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing

models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates. Financial derivatives that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”), the investment adviser to each Fund and the Trust, has established a fair valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”) which is comprised of senior representatives of WTAM and which reports to the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. In the event that a financial instrument cannot be valued based upon a price from a national securities exchange, pricing service provider or broker quotation, or such prices are deemed to not reflect current market value, the Valuation Committee may value the financial instrument in good faith under the policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees based on current facts and circumstances. Determination of this value may include significant unobservable inputs and therefore would be reflected as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Valuation Committee may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Valuation Committee may also use an income-based valuation approach in which anticipated future cash flows of the financial instrument are discounted to calculate fair value. The Valuation Committee meets at least on a monthly basis to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events.

Also, when observable inputs become available, the Valuation Committee conducts back testing of the methodologies used to value Level 3 financial instruments to substantiate the unobservable inputs used to value those investments. Such back testing includes comparing Level 3 investment values to observable inputs such as exchange-traded prices, transaction prices, and/or vendor prices.

There were no Level 3 securities during the six months ended February 28, 2013.

No transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements occurred during the six months ended February 28, 2013.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of February 28, 2013 in valuing each Fund’s assets:

Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure — Codification Topic 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, 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 Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically forward foreign currency contracts, swaps contracts and futures contracts during the period ended February 28, 2013 which are detailed in the tables herein. All of the derivative instruments disclosed and described herein are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is where the financial condition of an issuer of a security or instrument may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security or where the counterparty to a derivative contract might default on its obligations. The Funds’ derivative agreements contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Funds’ NAV or net assets over a specified time period. If an event occurred that triggered a contingent feature, the counterparty to the agreement may require the Funds to post additional collateral or terminate the derivative positions and demand payment. Any collateral posted with respect to the derivative positions would be used to offset or reduce the payment. The maximum exposure to derivative agreements with credit-risk related contingent features would be the total value of derivatives in net liability positions for each Fund as reflected in each respective derivative footnote.

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 including amortization of premiums and discounts 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 prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions that are deemed appropriate by WTAM. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on investments are included as a component of net realized gain (loss) from investment transactions and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from investment transactions, respectively, on the Statement of Operations. Net realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, including gains and losses of forward foreign currency contracts, currency gains or losses recognized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid are included in net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts and foreign currency related transactions and/or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from forward foreign currency contracts and translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Statement of Operations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains or losses are included in, or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with U.S. Federal income tax regulations.

Expenses — Under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of each Fund, 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 Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”); (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 arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund, and is liable and responsible for, and administers, payments to the CCO, the Independent Trustees and counsel to the Independent Trustees. WTAM receives a fee of up to 0.0044% of each Fund’s average daily net assets for providing such services and paying such expenses. WTAM provides CCO services to the Trust.

Repurchase Agreements — Each Fund’s 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 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 Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward foreign currency contract (“Forward Contract”) involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A Forward Contract generally has no margin deposit requirement, and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades.

Risks may arise upon entering into Forward Contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar or each other.

Fluctuations in the value of open Forward Contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized gains or losses on Forward Contracts by the Funds. Realized gains and losses on forward contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have matured. Each Fund may enter into Forward Contracts to manage its foreign currency exposure or to facilitate settlement of foreign currency denominated portfolio transactions. A Fund may invest in both Forward Contracts and U.S. dollar denominated money market securities in an attempt to create a “synthetic” investment in a foreign currency denominated instrument.

The following Forward Contracts were open at February 28, 2013:

Currency, Interest Rate and Total Return Swaps — Each Fund may enter into swap agreements, including interest rate swaps, currency swaps and total return swaps. A typical interest rate swap involves the exchange of a floating interest rate payment for a fixed

interest rate payment. A typical foreign cross-currency swap involves the exchange of cash flows based on the notional difference among two or more currencies (e.g., the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real). A typical total return swap involves the payment of the total return on a reference asset in return for payments equal to a rate of interest on another reference asset. The total return typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments. Swap agreements may be used to achieve exposure to, for example, currencies, interest rates, indexes and money market securities without actually purchasing such currencies or securities. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund and the Global Real Return Fund may enter into swaps transactions based on commodities or commodity indexes. Each Fund may use swap agreements to invest in a market without owning or taking physical custody of the underlying securities in circumstances in which direct investment is restricted for legal reasons or is otherwise impracticable. Swap agreements will tend to shift a Fund’s investment exposure from one type of investment to another or from one payment stream to another. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currencies, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors, and may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a Fund’s investments and its share price.

Futures Contracts — Each Fund may transact in currency futures contracts and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund and Global Real Return Fund may transact in commodity, currency and U.S. Treasury futures contracts. When a Fund purchases a listed futures contract, it agrees to purchase a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. When a Fund sells a listed futures contract, it agrees to sell a specified reference asset (e.g., commodity, currency or Treasury security) at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the Fund enters into the contract. The exchange clearing corporation is the ultimate counterparty for all exchange-listed contracts, so credit risk is limited to the creditworthiness of the exchange’s clearing corporation. Margin deposits are posted as performance bonds with the clearing broker and, in turn, with the exchange clearing corporation.

Each Fund may buy and sell index futures contracts. An index futures contract is a bilateral agreement pursuant to which two parties agree to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount times the difference between the index value at the close of trading of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is originally struck. No physical delivery of the securities comprising the index is made. Instead, settlement in cash must occur upon the termination of the contract, with the settlement being the difference between the contract price, and the actual level of the index at the expiration of the contract. Generally, contracts are closed out prior to the expiration date of the contract.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or government securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin”, generally are made or received by the Fund each day depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. When a Fund purchases or sells a futures contract, the Fund is required to “cover” its position in order to limit the risk associated with the use of

 

WisdomTree Currency, Fixed Income and Alternative Funds      67   


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

leverage and other related risks. To cover its position, a Fund will segregate assets consisting of cash or liquid securities that, when added to any amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant as margin, are equal to the market value of the futures contract or otherwise “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. If a Fund continues to engage in the described securities trading practices and properly segregates assets, the segregated assets will function as a practical limit on the amount of leverage which a Fund may undertake and on the potential increase in the speculative character of a Fund’s outstanding portfolio securities. Additionally, such segregated assets will generally ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet the obligations of a Fund arising from such investment activities.

Securities Lending — Each Fund may lend portfolio securities to certain creditworthy borrowers, including the Funds’ securities lending agent. It is the Funds’ policy that, at origination, all loans are secured by collateral of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned and 105% of the value of foreign securities loaned. Collateral in the form of cash and/or high-grade debt obligations, equivalent to at least 100% of the market value of securities, is maintained at all times. The collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The value of the collateral received for securities on loan along with the obligation to return the collateral are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. The dividend and interest income earned on the securities loaned is accounted for in the same manner as other dividend and interest income. The borrower pays to the Funds an amount equal to any dividends or interest received on loaned securities. The Funds retain all or a portion of the

 

68   WisdomTree Currency, Fixed Income and Alternative Funds


Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

interest received on investment of cash collateral or receive a fee from the borrower. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. The securities lending income earned by the Funds is disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

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. Banker’s 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 Fund’s 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 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 shareholder’s tax basis, and thereafter as capital gain.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND TRANSACTIONS

WTAM has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Trust. WTAM provides an investment program for each Fund. WTAM has arranged for Mellon Capital Management (“MCM”) to provide sub-advisory services to the Currency, Fixed Income and Alternative Funds, except for Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and Global Corporate Bond Fund which are sub-advised by Western Asset Management Company (“WAMCO”). MCM and WAMCO are compensated by WTAM at no additional cost to the Funds. WTAM also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund administration, securities lending, and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement for each Fund, WTAM agrees to pay all expenses of the Funds except for certain expenses described in Note 2.

Pursuant to a separate contractual arrangement, also described in Note 2, WTAM arranges for the provision of CCO services with respect to each Fund 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 fee of up to 0.0044% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. WTAM expects to receive advisory fees from each Fund, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, as shown in the following table.

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 Fund’s 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, 2013, the Funds did not have any liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions they have taken or expect to take in the future. 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 Funds file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, the State of New York, and various other states. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2012, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In December 2011, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). These disclosures are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position. They also improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of US GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to: disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements.

8. LEGAL MATTER

On December 1, 2011, Research Affiliates, LLC (“Research Affiliates”) filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, naming the Trust, WTAM, and its parent company, WisdomTree Investments, along with other parties, as defendants. The complaint alleged that the fundamentally weighted investment methodology developed by WisdomTree Investments and employed by the Trust infringes three of plaintiff’s patents. The complaint sought both unspecified monetary damages to be determined and an injunction to prevent further infringement.

On November 7, 2012, Research Affiliates agreed to withdraw its suit and defendants agreed to withdraw their counterclaims and entered into a settlement agreement. Under the settlement, all parties exchanged releases for all existing claims. The other material terms of the settlement are as follows:

 

   

Research Affiliates agreed not to sue the Trust, WTAM and WisdomTree Investments (the “WisdomTree Parties”) for any future claims arising under any current patents held by Research Affiliates, as well as any future patents relating to fundamentally-weighted indexes and strategies that may issue under existing or future patent applications that may be filed by Research Affiliates within the next eight years, subject to reduction by up to three years if Research Affiliates is acquired. The covenant not to sue extends to service providers and customers of the WisdomTree Parties in connection with their products and services.

 

   

Research Affiliates and the WisdomTree Parties agreed that the covenants not to sue do not include a right under each party’s patents to copy the other party’s methodologies. They have further agreed that it is not copying if Research Affiliates introduces an index or strategy that uses at least three fundamental factors to weight its indexes and they are not predominantly dividend- or earnings-weighted, or any of the WisdomTree Parties introduces an index or strategy that is weighted by less than three fundamental factors.

 

   

The parties also agreed not to challenge the other party’s patents or patent applications.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (concluded)

 

 

   

Research Affiliates agreed to a one-time payment of $0.7 million to WisdomTree Investments. The WisdomTree Parties and the other defendants were not required to make any current or future payments to Research Affiliates.

All other terms of the settlement are confidential and the settlement will not affect the current methodologies and fees for any of the Trust’s Funds.

WTAM and WisdomTree Investments had previously contractually agreed to indemnify the Trust and pay any losses, claims and damages (including legal fees) incurred by the Trust or a Fund in connection with the complaint so the Trust incurred no out-of-pocket expense in connection with this lawsuit.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement (unaudited)

 

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements for Global Corporate Bond Fund. At a meeting held on December 5, 2012, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Global Corporate Bond Fund with a management fee of 0.50%. In approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and analyzed the factors it deemed relevant, including: (i) the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided by WTAM to the Fund; (ii) the costs of services to be provided and the profits to be realized by WTAM from its relationships with the Fund; (iii) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and (iv) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors.

The Board considered the nature and quality of the services to be provided by WTAM to the Fund, recognizing WTAM’s operational capabilities and resources. The Board also noted the extensive responsibilities that WTAM has as investment adviser to the Fund, including the selection of the Fund’s sub-adviser, oversight of the sub-adviser’s compliance with Fund policies and objectives, oversight of general Fund compliance with federal and state laws, and the implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund.

The Board gave substantial consideration to the fees payable to WTAM. The Board examined the fees to be paid by the Fund in light of fees paid to other investment managers by comparable funds and the method of computing the Fund’s fee. After comparing the fees with those of comparable funds and in light of the quality and extent of services to be provided and the costs anticipated to be incurred by WTAM, the Board concluded that the level of the fees paid to WTAM with respect to the Fund is fair and reasonable. In addition, the Board noted that WTAM has contractually agreed to limit the management fee to 0.45% through January 10, 2014. The Board also evaluated WTAM’s costs and profitability in serving as investment adviser to the Fund, including the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Fund and the costs associated with compensating the sub-adviser.

At the December 5, 2012 Board Meeting, the Board also approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement between WTAM and WAMCO, on behalf of the Fund, using essentially the same criteria it used in connection with the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Board considered WAMCO’s operational capabilities and resources and WAMCO’s experience in serving as an adviser to ETFs and other funds. The Board considered the expertise and performance of the WAMCO personnel. The Board noted that WTAM, not the Fund, pays the fees to WAMCO under the Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

Based on these considerations and the overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment advisory capabilities, methodologies, and performance of WTAM and WAMCO, the Board determined that the approval of this Investment Advisory Agreement and this Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, approved the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund.

The WisdomTree Funds are exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as separate series (“Funds”) of WisdomTree Trust (“Trust”). WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of WisdomTree Investments, Inc., serves as the investment adviser to the 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, 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 cannot invest directly in an index.

There are risks associated with investing including possible loss of principal. 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 or region may be significantly impacted by events and developments associated with the region which can adversely affect performance. Funds focusing on a single sector and/or smaller companies generally experience greater price volatility. Investments in emerging, offshore or frontier markets are generally less liquid and less efficient than investments in developed markets and are subject to additional risks, such as risks of adverse governmental regulation and intervention or political developments. Inflation protected securities do not eliminate risks associated with inflation or deflation. Investments in currency involve additional special risks, such as credit risk and interest rate fluctuations. Derivative investments can be volatile and these investments may be less liquid than other securities, and more sensitive to the effect of varied economic conditions. As these Funds can have a high concentration in some issuers the Funds can be adversely impacted by changes affecting such issuers.

Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise. In addition when interest rates fall income may decline. Fixed income investments are also subject to credit risk, the risk that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. One of the risks associated with the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (WDTI) and the Global Real Return Fund (RRF) is the complexity of the different factors which contribute to each Fund’s performance, as well as their correlation (or non-correlation) to other asset classes. These factors include use of long and short positions in commodity futures contracts, currency forward contracts, swaps and other derivatives. An investment in WDTI is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk. WDTI should not be used as a proxy for taking long only (or short only) positions in commodities or currencies. In markets without sustained price trends or markets that quickly reverse or “whipsaw” WDTI may suffer significant losses. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the Currency Funds, Fixed Income Funds, WDTI or RRF attempt to track or replicate. Thus, the ability of these Funds to achieve their objectives will depend on the effectiveness of the portfolio manager. Due to the investment strategy of certain Funds they may make higher capital gain distributions than other ETFs. Please read the Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding the Fund’s 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.
