WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund

 

Investment Breakdown† as of 2/28/09

 

LOGO

 

The Fund’s investment breakdown is expressed as a percentage of total investments and may change over time.

 

 

The WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund (ticker symbol: USY) seeks to earn current income while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity by investing primarily in very short-term, high-quality money market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. 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.

On or about May 25, 2009, WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund will change its investment objective. Current market conditions have lowered investment yields on short-term instruments. This has presented a challenging environment for portfolios, including the Fund, that invest in money market securities. In order to attempt to generate more income while maintaining the Fund’s focus on high-quality, investment grade instruments, beginning in May, the Fund will increase its investment in government securities and other instruments with relatively longer remaining maturities.

To better reflect this change in focus, the Fund will be renamed the WisdomTree U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund. The Fund’s new investment objective will be to seek 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. The Fund’s average portfolio maturity will be extended from 3 months or less to 6 months or less. The Fund will focus its portfolio investments on investment grade government securities, including Treasury and Agency securities, and government-supported corporate bonds.

The WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund returned 0.91% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on May 20, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below).

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 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 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 do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. The annual expense ratio of the Fund during the period was 0.25%.

WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund

 

Investment Breakdown as of 2/28/09

 

LOGO

 

The Fund’s investment breakdown is expressed as a percentage of total investments and may change over time.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund (ticker symbol: BZF) seeks to earn current income 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.

On or about July 1, 2009 the WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund will change its investment objective to seek 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 change is not intended to have a material effect on the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Fund’s investment strategy. Rather, the change is intended simply to better reflect the Fund’s focus on achieving performance through total return.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund returned -24.00% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on May 14, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Brazilian Real declined 30.05% in value relative to the U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. The deepening financial crisis, global economic slowdown and the intensification of investor risk aversion were contributing factors to the weakness of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. Dollar, specifically during the last four months of 2008. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was largely driven by the interest return generated by the Fund’s investments offering exposure to Brazilian money market rates.

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 Fund’s investment breakdown is expressed as a percentage of total investments and may change over time.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund (ticker symbol: CYB) seeks to earn current income 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.

On or about July 1, 2009 the WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund will change its investment objective to seek 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 change is not intended to have a material effect on the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Fund’s investment strategy. Rather, the change is intended simply to better reflect the Fund’s focus on achieving performance through total return.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund returned 3.62% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on May 14, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Chinese Yuan has appreciated 2.31% in value relative to the U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. Much of the Chinese Yuan appreciation relative to the U.S. Dollar came during the summer of 2008; the currency has been relatively stable since the financial crisis intensified in the Fall of 2008. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was driven by several factors, including interest return reflective of Chinese money market 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 Fund’s investment breakdown is expressed as a percentage of total investments and may change over time.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Euro Fund (ticker symbol: EU) 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. 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 Euro Fund returned -15.94% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on May 14, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Euro declined 17.84% in value relative to the U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. The Euro declined relative to the U.S. Dollar, as the deepening financial crisis intensified investor risk aversion and sparked a flight to quality to dollar-based assets. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was largely driven by the interest income generated by the Fund’s investments in Euro-denominated money market securities.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Japanese Yen Fund (ticker symbol: JYF) seeks to earn current income reflective of money market rates in Japan available to foreign investors. The Fund also seeks to maintain liquidity and preserve capital measured in Japanese Yen. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not “money market” a fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus Japanese Yen Fund returned 5.64% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on May 21, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The Yen appreciated 5.53% in value relative to U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. The Yen appreciated relative to the U.S. Dollar as risk-sensitive trades funded with Yen borrowing were unwound on a large scale during the financial crisis. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was largely driven by the interest income generated by the Fund’s investments in Yen-denominated money market securities.

Although each fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the funds are not “money market” funds and it is not the objective of the funds to maintain a constant share price.

On or about July 1, 2009 the WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund will change its investment objective to seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in New Zealand available to foreign investors and changes in value of the New Zealand Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar. The change is not intended to have a material effect on the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Fund’s investment strategy. Rather, the change is intended simply to better reflect the Fund’s focus on achieving performance through total return.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus New Zealand Dollar Fund returned -30.83% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on June 25, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The New Zealand Dollar declined 33.80% in value relative to the U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. The deepening financial crisis, global economic slowdown and the intensification of investor risk aversion were contributing factors to the weakness of the New Zealand Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar, specifically during the last four months of 2008. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was largely driven by the interest return generated by the Fund’s investments offering exposure to New Zealand money market 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 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 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 do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. The annual expense ratio of the Fund during the period was 0.45%.

The Fund’s investment breakdown is expressed as a percentage of total investments and may change over time.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus South African Rand Fund (ticker symbol: SZR) seeks to earn current income reflective of money market rates in South Africa available to foreign investors, and to provide exposure to movements in the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar. The South African Rand is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although each fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the funds are not “money market” funds and it is not the objective of the funds to maintain a constant share price.

On or about July 1, 2009 the WisdomTree Dreyfus South African Rand Fund will change its investment objective to seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in South Africa available to foreign investors and changes in value of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar. The change is not intended to have a material effect on the day-to-day management of the Fund or the Fund’s investment strategy. Rather, the change is intended simply to better reflect the Fund’s focus on achieving performance through total return.

The WisdomTree Dreyfus South African Rand Fund returned -14.96% on net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on June 25, 2008 (for more complete performance information please see below). The South African Rand declined 21.28% in value relative to the U.S. Dollar since the Fund’s inception. The deepening financial crisis, global economic slowdown and the intensification of investor risk aversion were contributing factors to the weakness of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar, specifically during the last four months of 2008. The difference between the Fund’s return and the spot currency return was largely driven by the interest return generated by the Fund’s investments offering exposure to South African money market rates.

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, 2008 to February 28, 2009.

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 9/01/08 to 2/28/09” 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.

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, 2009, the Trust offered 50 investment funds. These financial statements relate only to the WisdomTree U.S. Current Income Fund (“U.S. Current Income Fund”), WisdomTree Dreyfus Brazilian Real Fund (“Brazilian Real Fund”), WisdomTree Dreyfus Chinese Yuan Fund (“Chinese Yuan 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. Current Income Fund and the Japanese Yen Fund commenced operations on May 20, 2008 and May 21, 2008, respectively, and both the New Zealand Dollar Fund and South African Rand Fund commenced operations on June 25, 2008.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. 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. Eastern time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Securities traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The Funds may rely on an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, as the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. The value of certain portfolio debt securities, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, takes into account various factors affecting market value, including yields and prices of comparable securities, indications as to value from dealers and general market conditions. 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. The values of any assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate deemed appropriate by the Fund. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by management and in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.

Effective September 1, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s 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 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 net asset value is computed and that may materially affect the value of the Fund’s 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, 2009 in valuing each Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

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 or 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 Trust’s 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.

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 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.

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.

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

3. ADVISER FEES AND TRANSACTIONS

Adviser Fees — WTAM provides investment management services to each Fund pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement. As compensation for services rendered, facilities furnished, and expenses borne by WTAM, each Fund pays WTAM a fee, as listed below, which is accrued daily and paid monthly, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Included in the expenses borne by WTAM are fees paid to the Sub-Adviser, Mellon Capital Management Corporation (for the U.S. Current Income Fund) and The Dreyfus Corporation (for the International Currency Income Funds), all accounting, administration, custody, transfer agent fees to The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, tax and audit services, as well as printing and postage.

The Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). This interpretation prescribes 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. If applicable, the Funds will recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in “Other” expenses on the Statement of Operations. Management has evaluated the application of FIN 48 to the Funds, and has determined that there is no material impact resulting from the adoption of this interpretation on the Funds’ financial statements.

6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

On March 19, 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“FAS 161”). FAS 161 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 FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The U.S. Current Income Fund (Ticker Symbol: USY) will change its investment objective and be renamed beginning on or about May 25, 2009. The Fund’s current objective is to earn current income while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity by investing primarily in very short-term, high-quality money market securities. Current market conditions have lowered investment yields on short-term instruments. This has presented a challenging environment for portfolios, including the Fund, that invest in money market securities. In order to attempt to generate more income while maintaining the Fund’s focus on high-quality, investment grade instruments, beginning in May, the Fund will increase its investment in government securities and other instruments with relatively longer remaining maturities.

To better reflect this change in focus, the Fund will be renamed the WisdomTree U.S. Short-Term Government Income Fund. The Fund’s new investment objective will be to seek 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. The Fund’s average portfolio maturity will be extended from 3 months or less to 6 months or less. The Fund will focus its portfolio investments on investment grade government securities, including Treasury and Agency securities, and government-supported corporate bonds.

On or about July 1, 2009 each of the Currency Funds listed below will change its investment objective to seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in the applicable country available to foreign investors and changes in value of that country’s currency relative to the U.S. Dollar. The change is not intended to have a material effect on the day-to-day management of the Funds or the Funds’ investment strategy. Rather, the change is intended simply to better reflect the Funds’ focus on providing exposure to changes in the value of the respective foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar.

The new investment objectives for the Funds affected are listed below:

 

Fund    New Investment Objective

Brazilian Real Fund

(Ticker Symbol: BZF)

   To seek 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

Chinese Yuan Fund

(Ticker Symbol: CYB)

   To seek 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

Indian Rupee Fund

(Ticker Symbol: ICN)

   To seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in India available to foreign investors and changes in value of the Indian Rupee relative to the U.S. Dollar

New Zealand Dollar Fund

(Ticker Symbol: BNZ)

   To seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in New Zealand available to foreign investors and changes in value of the New Zealand Dollar relative to the U.S. Dollar

South African Rand Fund

(Ticker Symbol: SZR)

   To seek to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in South Africa available to foreign investors and changes in value of the South African Rand relative to the U.S. Dollar

WisdomTree does not believe the planned changes will generate any significant tax consequences for current investors in the Funds.

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. 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 Fund’s prospectus for specific details regarding each 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.
