WisdomTree Launches Its First ETFs in Canada

TORONTO, ON --(Marketwired - July 14, 2016) - WisdomTree announced the launch of its first suite of exchange-traded funds (the "WisdomTree ETFs") in Canada. These offerings provide Canadians with new investment strategies through which to build and manage their portfolios. The six WisdomTree ETFs are now available for purchase on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

WisdomTree, one of the leading ETF providers worldwide, opened its Canadian office earlier this year. The firm pioneered the concept of dividend-weighted ETFs and is widely known for its currency hedged equity strategies. WisdomTree has leveraged its index development and ETF expertise to launch its first ETFs in Canada.

The new offerings provide investors with the opportunity to add exposure to U.S., European and broad international equities through WisdomTree's innovative dividend-focused methodologies, while managing foreign currency exposure in a variety of hedged, non-hedged and dynamic hedged choices. Moreover, with the introduction of these six new ETFs, WisdomTree will be participating in a rapidly growing Canadian ETF landscape, which in 2016 surpassed C$100 billion in assets.

"We're thrilled to be introducing our first offerings to Canadians including Canada's first dynamic currency hedged ETFs," said Raj Lala, Head of WisdomTree Canada. "As one of the few dedicated ETF providers in Canada, we're committed to educating investors about the benefits of ETFs. We build our funds based on research-driven, proprietary methodologies in order to provide investors with the potential for income, performance and diversification."

Mr. Lala noted that the new ETFs help investors access a variety of dynamic markets, in addition to maintaining the benefits of dividend income and the cost efficient ETF structure.

WisdomTree has launched the following ETFs in Canada:

WisdomTree Europe Hedged Equity Index ETF (EHE) seeks to track, to the extent possible, the price and yield performance of the WisdomTree Europe CAD-Hedged Equity Index, before fees and expenses.
