About DXJ
The Fund employs a “passivemanagement” – or indexing – investment approach designed to track the performance of the Index. The Fund generallyuses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of securitiesin the Index whose risk, return, and other characteristics resemble the risk, return, and other characteristics of the Index as a whole. WisdomTree, Inc. (“WisdomTree”), the Index Provider andparent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WisdomTree Asset Management” or the “Adviser”), has createdthe Index to provide exposure to Japanese equity markets while at the same time “hedging” or neutralizing exposure to fluctuationsin the value of the Japanese yen relative to the U.S. dollar. The Index consists of dividend-paying companies that conduct their Primary Business Activitiesin Japan, and that list their shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, that derive less than 80% of their revenue from sources in Japan. Thecountry in which a company conducts its Primary Business Activities is determined based on one or more of the following factors: countryof organization or incorporation, country in which a company’s headquarters is located, the country to which a company has thegreatest risk exposure, and the country from which a company generates the most significant portion of its revenue or to which it allocatesthe greatest resources. By excluding companies that derive 80% or more of their revenue from Japan, the Index is tilted towards companieswith a more significant global revenue base. The companies included in the Index typically have greater exposure to the value of globalcurrencies and, in many cases, their business prospects historically have improved when the value of the yen has declined and have weakenedwhen the value of the yen has increased. To be eligible for inclusion in the Index, a company must meet the following key criteria asof the annual screening date: (i) payment of at least $5 million in gross cash dividends (i.e., total dividends paid includingcapital gains distributions and non-taxable distributions and without excluding taxes, fees and other expenses) on shares of common stockduring the preceding annual cycle; (ii) market capitalization of at least $100 million; (iii) median daily dollar trading volume of atleast $100,000 for the preceding three months; and (iv) trading of at least 250,000 shares per month for each of the preceding six months. Securities are weighted in the Index based on dividends paid over the prior annual cycle.Companies that pay a greater total dollar amount of dividends are more heavily weighted. On the Index’s annual screening date,the maximum weight of any security in the Index is capped at 5%, and the Index caps the weight of constituents exposed to a single sector(except for the real estate sector) at 25%. The weight of constituents exposed to the real estate sector is capped at 15%. The specifiedcaps and thresholds described above are applied concurrently and in a manner designed to seek to minimize deviation from a constituent’sinitial or intended weighting in the Index. The Index also may adjust the weight of individual constituents on the annual screening datebased on certain quantitative thresholds or limits tied to key metrics of a constituent security, such as its trading volume. To theextent the Index reduces an individual constituent’s weight, the excess weight will be reallocated on a pro rata basis among theother constituents. Similarly, if the Index increases a constituent’s weight, the weight of the other constituents will be reducedon a pro rata basis to contribute the weight needed for such increase. The Index weight of a sector or individual constituent may fluctuateabove or below specified caps and thresholds between rebalance dates in response to market conditions. WisdomTree currently uses the Global Industry ClassificationStandard (GICS®), a widely recognized industryclassification methodology developed by MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, to identify the extent ofthe Index’s exposure to a sector or industry. A GICS sector typically is composed of multiple industries. Because the Fund seeksto track the Index, it is expected to have the same sector and industry exposure as the Index. While the Index’s and the Fund’ssector exposure may vary from time to time, as of June 30, 2025, the Index, and, therefore, the Fund, had significant exposure (e.g.,approximately 15% or more of the Index’s total weight) to the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Financials Sectors. Tothe extent the Index is concentrated in the securities of companies assigned to a particular industry or group of industries, the Fundwill seek to concentrate its investments (i.e., invest more than 25% of its assets) in such industry or group of industries toapproximately the same extent as the Index. The Index “hedges” against, or seeks to minimize theimpact of, fluctuations in the relative value of the Japanese yen and the U.S. dollar. The Index is designed to have higher returns thanan equivalent un-hedged investment in Japanese equity securities when the U.S. dollar is going up in value relative to the Japanese yen.Conversely, the Index is designed to have lower returns than an equivalent un-hedged investment in Japanese equity securities when theU.S. dollar is falling in value relative to the Japanese yen. To hedge its currency exposure to the Japanese yen, the Index applies apublished one-month forward rate of the Japanese yen in U.S. dollars to the Index’s total equity exposure. Currency forward contracts and/or currency futures contracts areused to hedge the Fund’s exposure to the Japanese yen. The contract value of currency forward contracts and currency futures contractsin the Fund is based on the aggregate exposure of the Fund and Index to the Japanese yen. While this approach is designed to minimizethe impact of currency fluctuations on Fund returns, it does not necessarily eliminate the Fund’s exposure to all currency fluctuations.The return of the currency forward contracts and currency futures contracts held by the Fund may not fully hedge or completely offsetthe Fund’s exposure to the Japanese yen or fluctuations in its value relative to that of the U.S. dollar.
