Market Environment Overview

(unaudited)

 

Global equity markets, as measured by the MSCI ACWI Index, returned 17.15% for the 12-month period ending August 31, 2020. Over the same period, U.S. equities, measured by the S&P 500 Index, returned 21.94%. Internationally, the MSCI EAFE Index, which represents the developed equity market outside of the U.S. and Canada, returned 6.13% in U.S. dollar terms. Within the developing world, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 14.49% in U.S. dollar terms. Equity performance was mixed over the 12-month period, exhibiting significant bouts of optimism and volatility as the world grappled with the onset of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic in early 2020 and the economic ramifications that followed. As investors’ appetite for risk assets oscillated during the 12-month period, the effects translated into the fixed income, commodity, currency, and options markets. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a measurement of broad U.S. fixed income, returned 6.47% over the fiscal year, while the Bloomberg Commodity Index, representing global commodity activity, returned -3.90%. Foreign exchange performance over the 12-month period, including the U.S. dollar as well as developed and emerging market currencies, was also mixed, often coinciding with each country’s ability to control the spread of COVID-19 and effectively use fiscal and monetary policy tools to minimize the economic impacts. Commensurate with equity volatility, the CBOE® Volatility Index, which measures options market positioning as a proxy for volatility, increased to $26 over the same period, after spiking as high as $83 in mid-March of 2020.

In the final four months of 2019, global equities gradually moved higher on continued optimism and fundamental strength. Likewise, economic activity remained healthy throughout the world against a backdrop of accommodative monetary policy. The U.S. Federal Reserve (“Fed”) cut interest rates 25 basis points in September and October of 2019, adding to an already buoyant environment for equities. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury Bond yield rose by about 40 basis points to end calendar year 2019, as investors maintained suitable appetite for risk assets heading into 2020.

The beginning of 2020 was poised to be a continuation of 2019’s economic and fundamental strength and optimism. Geopolitical issues did surface, but the trade-related conflicts between the U.S. and China managed to minimally impact markets. Equity markets reached new all-time highs in February 2020 before investors began to understand the reality of the global threat presented by COVID-19. By March 2020, equity markets had sharply fallen, and the sudden volatility spilled over into funding and corporate credit markets, with rates spiking and investment grade and high yield spreads widening almost immediately. In the foreign exchange markets, the U.S. dollar initially strengthened as investors lost their appetite for risk, moving into the perceived safety of U.S. dollar-denominated assets. U.S. Treasury yields plummeted as a result of the significant influx of demand. Global governments were left with almost no choice but to impose significant economic lockdowns in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and ease the pressure on healthcare workers, whose facilities were overwhelmed with infections. Likewise, many businesses opted to have their employees work from home indefinitely in an effort to encourage social distancing and avoid large gatherings to help prevent further spread. Faced with an unprecedented drop in economic activity, and with markets already in precarious positions, global central banks had little choice but to reduce interest rates and introduce unconventional monetary policies to support the ailing markets and stimulate economic activity as much as possible. The Fed, for example, cut interest rates to 0 basis points by mid-March of 2020, and established a number of lending facilities and asset purchase programs intended to support the money and credit markets. Governments and legislatures also stepped in, instituting a number of fiscal policies aimed at supporting the shock to the labor force. The U.S. Congress introduced generous unemployment insurance payments, while the European Union began to discuss a fiscal response through a joint debt issuance, reflecting their concern over the economic impact of COVID-19 in Europe. U.S. gross domestic product ("GDP") fell nearly 5% by the end of the first quarter of 2020, with European GDP falling about 4% during the same period. Likewise, the U.S. unemployment rate ticked slightly higher to 4.4% by March-end of 2020, with Europe remaining somewhat steady at 7.4% during the same period.

Market Environment Overview

(unaudited) (concluded)

 

Entering the second quarter of 2020, the economic threat of COVID-19 still remained. Economic lockdowns persisted into the springtime and equity markets began to see a significant divergence in performance. Select industries and sectors, perceived as well-positioned for the indefinite “stay-at-home” environment, fared better than the service and cyclical sectors more levered to economic activity. The energy sector suffered during this timeframe, as oil prices plummeted on evaporated global demand. The financial industry also faced headwinds, coinciding with the immediate reduction in economic activity and implications for consumer loans. As the quarter progressed, however, economic activity slowly began to rebound, with many gauges steadily improving alongside market indices. U.S. equities, led by the technology sector, began to recover their losses from earlier in the year. Developed market equities and emerging markets shared in the resurgence as well. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield remained rangebound between 0.50% and 0.75%, save for a temporary spike up to 0.90% in early June of 2020. The second quarter of 2020 began a period of weakness in the U.S. dollar as well, relative to foreign currencies, as the expectation of low interest rates for the near-term and inflationary catalysts weighed on the U.S. dollar. On the economic data front, the U.S. unemployment rate peaked at nearly 15% in April 2020 but fell slightly to 11.1% by quarter-end as economic restrictions began to ease. The impact on European unemployment remained subdued, ticking up slightly to 7.8% by the end of June 2020. The pandemic’s impact to global GDP was most pronounced in Q2 2020, with a devastating -32.9% GDP contraction in the U.S., while Europe suffered a -12.1% GDP decrease for the same period. Notably, China actually saw an 11.50% increase in GDP during the second quarter of 2020 due to its efforts in containing the spread of COVID-19 early on and mitigating the impact on its economy.

July and August of 2020 featured a continuation of the trends and recovery that began late in the second quarter of 2020. Global equities marched higher, led by the U.S. and its technology stocks, which further stretched their already high valuations. Cyclical sectors also began to improve slightly, but remained outpaced by their growth-oriented counterparts, signaling that markets may have overshot the reality of the slower-moving economic recovery and prevailing risks. Emerging markets generally kept pace with the U.S., with developed markets lagging in the recovery due to the cyclical nature of its regional economies. The latter region did get good news out of Europe in July 2020, where the European Union reached a landmark fiscal stimulus agreement to issue joint debt in efforts to support the ailing economy. In foreign exchange, the U.S. dollar continued to broadly weaken, and the 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield continued to trade generally within the 0.60%-0.70% range.

As financial markets finish the third quarter of 2020, a number of key risks remain. Foremost is the 2020 U.S. Presidential election, which will have broad implications for global equities, and U.S. equities in particular. There is still no COVID-19 vaccine that is expected to be approved and disseminated in the near-term, which implies that global economic activity may remain subdued and higher unemployment may persist as long as this significant risk to global health continues. This underscores the risk that governments, notably U.S. Congress, may not deliver additional fiscal stimulus, or provide one that is inadequate, at a time when ongoing economic support is paramount. Likewise, social unrest and politics around the world will need to be closely monitored as we conclude 2020, as they may have significant implications for financial markets going forward.

Each WisdomTree Fund’s performance as set forth in “Management’s Discussion of Funds’ Performance” in the pages that follow should also be viewed in light of the foregoing market environment.

Information about Performance and Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)

Performance

The performance tables on the following pages are provided for comparative purposes and represent the period noted. Each 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 midpoint of the bid and ask price 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.

Fund shares are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from a Fund. Fund NAV returns are calculated using a Fund’s daily 4:00 p.m. eastern time NAV. Market price returns reflect the midpoint of the bid and ask price 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.

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.

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 an index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Funds’ performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes on transactions in Fund shares or taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For the most recent month-end performance information visit www.wisdomtree.com.

Shareholder Expense Examples

Each Fund’s performance table is accompanied by a shareholder expense example. As a shareholder of a WisdomTree Fund, you incur two types of cost: (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 examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020. Except where noted, expenses are calculated using each Fund’s annualized expense ratio (after the effect of contractual or voluntary fee waivers, if any), multiplied by the average account value for the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio does not include acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”), which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies.

Actual expenses

The first line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages 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” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the shareholder expense example table shown on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 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.

The WisdomTree Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide total returns, before fees and expenses, that exceed the performance of the Bloomberg Dollar Total Return Index (the ‘‘Index’’). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to potentially benefit as the U.S. dollar appreciates in value relative to a basket of global currencies. 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 -3.87% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The last twelve months featured mixed periods of relative strength and weakness in the U.S. dollar, but ultimately the strong response from riskier financial assets weighed on performance by the fiscal year-end. After peaking in value in March 2020, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar fell precipitously as investors regained some of their risk-on appetite. Demand for dollar-denominated U.S. Treasury securities, perceived to be the safest instruments available, began to subside in the spring and summer months as investors piled back into risk assets. The U.S. dollar also faced pressure from the U.S. Federal Reserve, which instituted a number of accommodative policies intended to support the U.S. economy. Short-term interest rates were slashed to zero, and the central bank indicated its willingness to tolerate longer periods of higher inflation in the future in order to recalibrate the economy. This exacerbated the reduced demand for the U.S. dollar and U.S. dollar-denominated assets, which in turn negatively impacted the Fund’s performance due to the Fund’s long exposure to U.S. dollar currency contracts and U.S. Treasury securities.

The WisdomTree Chinese Yuan Strategy 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 Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to Chinese currency and money market rates. The Chinese yuan is a developing market currency, which 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 6.16% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The last twelve months featured mixed periods of strength and weakness in the Chinese yuan relative to the U.S. dollar, but ultimately the Chinese currency performed and finished the fiscal year higher. Economic strength in China was additive for Chinese yuan performance. Likewise, China’s importance in both the global supply chain and international trade was uninhibited. Despite the geopolitical risks involving the U.S., trading relationships with other global partners, such as Japan and other Asian-Pacific nations, remained firm. As a result, steady demand edged the Chinese yuan higher throughout the fiscal year. The currency also benefited from weakness in the U.S. dollar, as a result of accommodative monetary policy from the U.S. Federal Reserve and significant risk-on appetite from U.S. investors despite economic challenges during the fiscal year.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in short-term securities and instruments designed to provide exposure to the currencies and money market rates of selected emerging market countries. 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 -1.68% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The last twelve months featured mixed periods of strength and weakness in emerging market currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, but ultimately the Fund’s performance was negative due to a number of significant economic headwinds. The Fund benefited from its exposure to the Chinese yuan, which saw steady demand from risk-seeking investors and stable trading relationships in the international marketplace. The Fund also benefited from exposure to the Malaysian ringgit and Philippine peso, as global trade tensions forced businesses and investors to look to other Asian nations as a primary source of production and supply chain support. Other currencies did not fare as well, however, as their economies grappled with challenges. For example, exposures to the Mexican peso, Russian ruble, Brazilian real, and Indian rupee all weighed on the Fund’s performance, as each weakened relative to the U.S. dollar.

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 U.S. dollar denominated debt securities issued by corporate entities that are domiciled in, or economically tied to, emerging market countries.

The Fund returned 6.37% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were positions in Chile, United Arab Emirates, and Mexico. The largest detractors to the Fund’s performance were positions in India, Hong Kong, and Colombia. The Fund’s performance was driven largely by the movement in bond prices as a function of credit worthiness across emerging markets (“EM”) companies. For the first half of the fiscal year, there was continued economic expansion around the world and de-escalating trade disputes amongst the world’s largest economies, leading to a continued upward trend in risk-on assets around the world, including EM corporate bonds. However, after a nearly 23% drop from peak-to-trough in March 2020, the Fund regained nearly all of that performance through the end of the fiscal year, as financial markets stabilized, many countries’ central banks lowered their local funding rates, and many corporations have adapted.

The WisdomTree Emerging Markets 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 local currencies of emerging market countries.

The Fund returned 0.20% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributor to the Fund’s performance was an overweight position in Mexico, as well as positions in Indonesia and Poland. The largest detractor to the Fund’s performance was an overweight position in Brazil, as well as positions in South Africa and Turkey. The Fund’s performance was driven largely by the movement in bond prices as a function of credit worthiness across the emerging markets (“EM”) region. For the first half of the fiscal year, there was continued economic expansion around the world and de-escalating trade disputes amongst the world’s largest economies, leading to a continued upward trend in risk-on assets around the world, including EM sovereign debt. After a nearly 25% drop from peak-to-trough in March 2020, the Fund rebounded through the end of the fiscal year, as financial markets stabilized, many countries’ central banks lowered their local funding rates, and the U.S. dollar continued to weaken.

The WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Floating Rate Bond Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests in floating rate public obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 1.26% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The floating rate nature of the Fund’s strategy acted as a slight headwind for the Fund as the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began to slowly cut the Federal Funds Rate in the first half of the fiscal year, cutting rates in September and October of 2019. However, in March 2020, the Fed lowered rates to their lowest natural bound of 0% to 0.25% to help potentially offset the economic downturn. As a result, interest rates across the entire U.S. Treasury yield curve dropped, which meant that long-dated U.S. Treasuries saw a relative performance boost over short-dated U.S. Treasury securities. Although most of the financial markets saw widespread performance losses and instabilities, the Fund continued to see stabilized prices and little-to-no impact from the market volatility. During a falling rate environment, the spreads of the floating rate notes increased due to less demand at the individual note auctions. This caused higher yields over its U.S. T-bill counterparts and helped to dampen an otherwise falling Treasury yield curve. During the fiscal year, yields on U.S. Treasuries declined to historically low levels: the 10-year yield fell from 1.50% to 0.73%, the 5-year yield decreased from 1.39% to 0.28%, the 2-year yield decreased from 1.50% to 0.14%, and the 3-month yield decreased from 1.99% to 0.11%.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond, Zero Duration Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. non-investment-grade corporate fixed income securities that are deemed to have favorable fundamental and income characteristics and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. Prior to June 1, 2020, the Fund sought to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Constrained, Zero Duration Index (the “Former Index”). In seeking to track the Former Index, the Fund invested mainly in short-term non-investment grade U.S. corporate fixed income securities having effective maturities generally shorter than five years and obtained short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximated zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned -2.26% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). As interest rates fell over the fiscal year, the Fund faced headwinds from its position in short U.S. Treasury futures contracts that it used to hedge out the duration exposure of the Fund’s long bond positions. As a result, the Fund’s zero duration strategy was a drag on performance. Due to a flat and inverted yield curve during the fiscal year, the Fund at times benefited from hedging out its duration exposure. However, overall, the Fund’s use of short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year. The Fund’s positions in longer-term corporates benefited more so than the shorter-term corporates. High yield spreads widened with a March 2020 sell off, causing high yield corporates to underperform. However, since the lows in March 2020, massive amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus have been enacted in the market, resulting in yield spreads beginning to normalize. The Fund has nearly retraced 50% off of the March 2020 lows through the end of the fiscal year. Prior to June 1, 2020, Fund performance reflects the investment objective of the Fund when it sought to track the Former Index. The new Index is a rules-based alternatively weighted index which employs a multi-step process to first identify bonds with favorable fundamental characteristics and then tilt to those which offer more attractive income potential. This new approach has started to add to performance, relative to a broad high yield corporate bond benchmark, as the new quality approach has helped in avoiding some high yield corporate defaults.

The WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Zero Duration (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities and obtains short exposure to U.S. Treasuries such that the Fund’s total portfolio duration approximates zero years. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 1.08% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). As interest rates fell dramatically over the fiscal year, the Fund faced headwinds from its position in short U.S. Treasury futures contracts that it used to hedge out the duration exposure of the Fund’s long bond positions. As a result, the Fund’s zero duration strategy was a drag on performance. Due to a flat and inverted yield curve during the period, the Fund at times benefited from hedging out its duration exposure. However, overall, the Fund’s use of short futures contracts on U.S. Treasuries detracted from Fund performance during the fiscal year. The U.S. Aggregate bond universe saw modest positive performance in the first half of the fiscal year, but like much of the financial markets around the world, saw a sharp downturn in performance in March of 2020. The Fund benefited from its diversified asset mix, with the largest exposure coming from U.S. Treasuries which saw positive performance due to increased demand in safer assets and drops in interest rates, helping to offset the losses in corporate bonds. Since the March 2020 lows, massive amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus have been enacted in the U.S. which has brought stability in spreads and prices in the markets. The Fund in turn experienced a rebound in performance from the March 2020 lows to the end of the fiscal year.

The WisdomTree Mortgage Plus Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks income and capital appreciation. The Fund attempts to achieve its objective through investments in mortgage-related debt and other securitized debt.

The Fund returned 4.45% at net asset value (“NAV”) since its inception on November 14, 2019 to August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Compared to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Securitized MBS/ABS/CMBS Index, the Fund has outperformed since inception. The Fund’s performance can be broken into three periods. During November 2019 to February 2020, the Fund generated positive excess returns versus its benchmark, where its mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) positions added value. During March 2020, the Fund underperformed as securitized credit sectors sold off, particularly in commercial mortgage-backed, collateralized loan obligation, and non-agency mortgage-backed security sectors, due to the Fed’s lack of support in less liquid bonds and the non-agency MBS market. Lastly, during April to August 2020, the Fund outperformed as securitized credit sectors saw a steady recovery, and deeper value bonds in the Fund’s agency MBS positions started recovering as well. Overall, the Fund achieved a positive performance since inception.

The WisdomTree Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Enhanced Yield Index (the ‘‘Index’’). In seeking to track the Index, the Fund invests mainly in U.S. investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned 5.14% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Falling rates over the fiscal year positively affected performance due to the Fund’s longer duration relative to the benchmark. Investment grade spreads tightened from the beginning of the fiscal year through the end of February of 2020, but then widened dramatically in March 2020, following massive selling and instability in the financial markets across the world. During the March 2020 selloff, the Fund’s initial overweight to investment grade credit securities and underweight to U.S. Treasury securities contributed negatively to performance. From a sector perspective, the Fund’s overweight to Energy sector corporate bonds contributed negatively to performance as oil prices fell over the fiscal year. However, the Fund’s subsequent monthly rebalances saw much of the corporate weight being diverted to securitized debt assets, which contributed positively to performance. The Fund’s position in longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds contributed positively to performance while its position in shorter-term BBB rated corporate bonds contributed less positively to performance. Since the March 2020 lows, record amounts of fiscal and monetary stimulus have been enacted in the U.S. which has brought stability in spreads and prices in the markets. The Fund in turn experienced a large scale rebound in performance from the March 2020 lows to the end of the fiscal year, even reaching its prior high. The Fund benefited from owning higher quality, 100% investment grade rated securities as opposed to owning any junk-rated/high yield securities which saw wider losses and a narrower rebound.

The WisdomTree CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Index (the ‘‘Index’’), utilizing a strategy of writing put options on the S&P 500 Index. The strategy is designed to receive a premium from the option buyer by selling (i.e. writing) a sequence of one-month, at-the-money, S&P 500 Index put options. The Fund generally uses a representative sampling strategy to achieve its investment objective, meaning it generally will invest in a sample of the securities in the Index whose risk, return and other characteristics resemble the risk, return and other characteristics of the Index as a whole.

The Fund returned -1.52% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). Due to COVID-19, U.S. equity markets saw significant periods of volatility in the last twelve months, where the S&P 500 Index often lost value in periods of time much shorter than the one-month lifespan of the Fund’s option contracts. The premiums received from selling put options each month were not enough to capture significant upside when the market rallied, despite protecting a bit on the downside, and the Fund was not able to finish the fiscal year with positive performance.

The WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide investors with positive total returns in rising or falling markets that are not directly correlated to broad market equity or fixed income returns. The Fund is managed using a quantitative, rules-based strategy and invests in a combination of diversified futures contracts for commodities, currencies and interest rates.

The Fund returned -8.17% at net asset value (“NAV”) for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 (for more complete performance information please see the table below). The largest contributors to the Fund’s performance were its exposures to U.S. Treasuries. The largest detractors to the Fund’s performance were its exposures to silver and coffee. Due to COVID-19, the U.S. market experienced significant volatility and uncertainty. U.S. Treasury bonds and 10-year notes became safe assets investors fled to, thus generating higher positive returns and contributing to the Fund’s overall returns. However, the Fund’s exposures to silver and coffee posted large losses as COVID-19 diminished demand for these commodities. During February to March 2020, silver prices fell and soft commodities such as coffee also suffered. Overall, the Fund finished the fiscal year with negative performance due to decreased overall demand for commodities resulting from subdued economic activity related to COVID-19.

Bond Spread:

A bond spread is the difference between the yields of two bonds with differing credit ratings. Most often, a corporate bond with a certain amount of risk is compared to a standard risk-free Treasury Bond. The bond spread will show the additional yield that could be earned from a bond which has a higher risk. Generally, bond spreads are often a good barometer of economic health - widening (bad) and narrowing (good).

CBOE® S&P 500 PutWrite Index:

The CBOE® S&P 500 PutWrite Index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e. collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of selling (or “writing”) S&P 500® Index put options and investing the sale proceeds in one- and three-month Treasury bills.

Collateralized loan oblitgation (CLO):

A collateralized loan obligation is a form of securitization where payments from multiple middle sized and large business loans are pooled together and passed on to different classes of owners.

Commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS):

A type of mortgage backed security that is backed by commercial and multifamily mortgages rather than residential real estate.

Consumer Price Index:

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.

Diversified Trends Indicator Index:

The Diversified Trends Indicator (“DTI”) Index 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.

Duration:

Duration is a measure of a bond’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The weighted average accounts for the various durations of the bonds purchased as well as the proportion of the total government bond portfolio that they make up.

Equal-Weighted Emerging Currency Composite:

A composite incorporating equal-weighted exposure to the currencies within the Emerging Currency Strategy Fund was constructed as an additional gauge of Emerging Currency Strategy Fund performance. The composite tracks the returns for the currencies 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 Strategy Fund intends to rebalance, and currency changes are reflected in the composite at the end of the month they are reflected in the Fund.

Includes a voluntary reimbursement from the sub-advisor of less than $0.01 per share and $0.01 per share for investment losses on certain foreign exchange transactions during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018 and 2016, respectively.

 

4 

Total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period and redemption on the last day of the period. For the periods in which the investment advisor waived advisory fees, the total return would have been lower if certain expenses had not been waived (Notes 2 and 3).

Includes a voluntary reimbursement from the sub-advisor for investment losses on certain foreign exchange transactions during the period. Excluding this voluntary reimbursement, total return would have been unchanged.

 

6 

Includes a voluntary reimbursement from the sub-advisor for investment losses on certain foreign exchange transactions during the period. Excluding this voluntary reimbursement, total return would have been 0.04% lower.

 

7 

The expense ratio includes investment advisory fee waivers. Without these investment advisory fee waivers, the expense ratio would have been unchanged.

 

8 

The ratios to average net assets do not include net investment income (loss) or expenses of other funds in which the Fund invests.

 

9 

Amount represents less than 0.005%.

 

10 

Portfolio turnover rate excludes the value of the portfolio securities received or delivered as a result of in-kind creations or redemptions of the Fund’s capital shares. Short-term securities with maturities less than or equal to 365 days are excluded from the portfolio turnover calculation.

 

11 

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, the Fund invested in the WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund which is considered a long-term security for purposes of computing the portfolio turnover rate. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, the WisdomTree Floating Rate Treasury Fund was the only long-term security held or transacted in the portfolio, as a result, the variability in the portfolio turnover rate was primarily driven by the transaction activity during the fiscal year for that security only (see the “Investment in Affiliates” supplementary table included in the Schedule of Investments for transaction activity related to this security for the current fiscal year).

     January 5, 2011  

Each Fund, except the Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Mortgage Plus Bond Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund, seeks to track the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (“Index”) developed by WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (“WisdomTree Investments”) or an Index developed by a third party. The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, Mortgage Plus Bond Fund and Managed Futures Strategy Fund are each actively managed. WisdomTree Investments is the parent company of WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”), the investment adviser to each Fund and the Trust. “WisdomTree” is a registered trademark of WisdomTree Investments and has been licensed for use by the Trust. Each Fund described herein is considered to be non-diversified as defined under the 1940 Act.

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 believes such exposure to be remote.

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:

Basis of Consolidation — The financial statements of the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Parent Fund”), include the accounts of WisdomTree Managed Futures Portfolio I, a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). For the Parent Fund, the accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position and results of operations on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Parent Fund seeks to gain exposure to commodity markets, in whole or in part, through investments in its Subsidiary. The Parent Fund’s investment in its Subsidiary may not exceed 25% of the Parent Fund’s total assets at the end of each fiscal quarter in order to meet the requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

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 a Fund is open for business as of the regularly scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time (the “NAV Calculation Time”). NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. Each Fund issues and redeems shares at NAV only in large blocks of shares known as creation units, which only certain institutions (e.g. broker-dealers) may purchase or redeem. Shares of each Fund are listed on a national securities exchange and trade at market prices. Most investors will buy and sell shares in the secondary market through brokers. Because Fund shares trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV or less than NAV. In calculating each Fund’s NAV, investments are valued under policies approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board of Trustees”). Fixed income securities (including short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less and to-be-announced (‘‘TBA’’) securities) generally are valued at current market quotations or mean prices obtained from broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers. Broker-dealers or independent pricing service providers, in determining the value of securities, may consider such factors as recent transactions, indications from broker-dealers yields and quoted prices on similar securities, and market sentiment for the type of security. U.S. fixed income securities 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. Repurchase agreements are valued at par which represents their fair value. Except for U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, foreign currency contracts are valued daily using WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. London time. U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund uses WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to value foreign currency contracts daily. For the Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and the Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund, WM/Reuters closing spot and forward rates as of 2:00 p.m. Singapore time are used to value forward foreign currency contracts in the following Asian currencies: Chinese renminbi, Chinese yuan, Hong Kong dollar, Indian rupee, Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit, Philippine peso, Singapore dollar, South Korean won, Taiwan dollar, and the Thai baht. Futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price, the price at which a futures contract settles once a given trading day has ended, on the primary exchange on which they trade. Option contracts generally are valued at the mean of the closing bid/ask price on which they trade. Equity securities (including preferred stock) 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. Unlisted equity securities (including preferred stock) are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the highest bid and lowest ask price. Each Fund may invest in money market funds which are valued at their NAV per share and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs” or “ETF”) or exchange-traded notes (“ETNs” or “ETN”) which are valued at their last sale or official closing price on the exchange on which they are principally traded or at their NAV per share in instances where the ETF or ETN has not traded on its principal exchange.

In certain instances, such as when reliable market valuations are not readily available, a Fund’s investments, which include derivatives, will be fair valued in accordance with the Fund’s pricing policy. The Board of Trustees has established a pricing committee (the “Pricing 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, independent pricing service provider or broker-dealer quotation, or such prices are deemed to not reflect current market value, the Pricing 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. Securities that may be valued using “fair value” pricing may include, but are not limited to, securities for which there are no current market quotations, 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.

Fair Value Measurement — In accordance with Codification Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Pricing Committee will perform other procedures (consistent with GAAP) to value an investment when a market quote is not available. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to be used when determining 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)

The inputs or methodology used for valuation are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those 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 (either due to events affecting the issuer of the security specifically or events affecting the primary trading exchange more broadly) 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 or market activity; (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 valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair market value measurements for Level 2 and Level 3 positions are as follows:

Financial instruments, such as fixed income securities, are generally valued by independent 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 independent pricing service providers’ internal pricing models may 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. Financial instruments that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate. Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These instruments are normally valued on the basis of broker-dealer quotations or prices obtained from independent pricing service providers. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the financial derivative instruments can be estimated by an independent pricing service provider using a series of techniques including simulation pricing models. The pricing models may use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, credit risks/spreads, interest rates, yield curves, default and exchange rates. Derivative contracts that use similar valuation techniques and observable inputs as described above and have an appropriate level of market activity are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise a Level 3 fair value classification is appropriate.

Determination of a fair value by the Pricing Committee may include significant unobservable inputs and therefore such financial instruments would be reflected as a Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Pricing Committee may employ a market-based valuation approach which may use, among other potential considerations, related or comparable securities, recent transactions, market multiples, and other relevant information to determine fair value. The Pricing 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 summary of fair valuations according to the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s assets as of the measurement date is included in a “Fair Valuation Summary” supplementary table in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

During the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2020, there were no significant transfers into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 as well as gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically foreign currency contracts, foreign currency futures contracts, commodity futures contracts and interest rate futures contracts and equity options contracts during the year or period ended August 31, 2020 and open positions in such derivatives as of August 31, 2020 are detailed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. 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 may also contain credit-risk related contingent features which include, but are not limited to, a percentage decline in the Funds’ NAV over a specified time period. If an event occurred at August 31, 2020 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 derivatives agreements with credit-risk related contingent features would be the total value of derivatives in net liability positions for each Fund in the table included in Note 2 — Master Netting Arrangements. Information with respect to the amounts and types of collateral received and/or posted for derivative instruments as of August 31, 2020, if any, is reflected as a footnote within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

For the period November 14, 2019 (commencement of operations) through August 31, 2020.

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 accretion of discounts), net of any foreign taxes withheld, is accrued daily. Generally, amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized daily using the effective interest method (also known as scientific amortization method). Payment-in-kind (‘‘PIK’’) interest income is accrued daily and the increase in a security’s principal amount related to such PIK interest income is recorded on the coupon payment date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. On each measurement date, the Funds evaluate the collectability of receivable balances. Generally, the Funds will write-off interest receivable balances in default by the issuer as of the date any applicable interest payment grace period or forbearance period expires or as of the date any interest payment cancellation notification was publicly made available or when it becomes probable that interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectable interest can be reasonably estimated.

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 increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from investment transactions, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency contracts are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts and net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses recognized between the trade and settlement dates on investment transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends/interest 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 foreign currency related transactions and/or net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies in the Statements 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/Reimbursements — Under the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, except for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, 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 trustees who are not interested persons of the Funds (“Independent Trustees”); (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.

Under the investment advisory agreement for Funds that commenced operations on or after March 26, 2013, WTAM has agreed to pay all expenses of the Trust, except for: (i) brokerage expenses and other fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses (such as stamp taxes) incurred in connection with the execution of portfolio transactions or in connection with creation and redemption transactions (including without limitation any fees, charges, taxes, levies or expenses related to the purchase or sale of an amount of any currency, or the patriation or repatriation of any security or other asset, related to the execution of portfolio transactions or any creation or 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 CCO; (vi) extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the Independent Trustees); (vii) distribution fees and expenses paid by the Trust under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act; (viii) interest and taxes of any kind or nature (including, but not limited to, income, excise, transfer and withholding taxes); (ix) fees and expenses related to the provision of securities lending services; and (x) the advisory fee payable to WTAM.

Acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFEs”) (which are fees and expenses incurred indirectly by a Fund through its investments in certain underlying investment companies) are not operating expenses of the Funds and are not paid by 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, as shown on the Statements of Operations under “Service fees”, of up to 0.0044% per annum 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 may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties that are deemed to present acceptable credit risks. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a Fund acquires securities or other obligations as collateral from a commercial bank or securities broker-dealer and simultaneously commits to resell them to the counterparty at an agreed upon date or upon demand and at a price reflecting a market rate of interest unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the acquired obligations. This is designed to result in a fixed rate of return for the Fund insulated from market fluctuations during the holding period. Each Fund maintains custody of the acquired collateral prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through a special “tri-party” custodian or sub-custodian that maintains separate accounts for both the Fund and the counterparty. Because repurchase agreements are collateralized by securities, they are subject to market and credit risk on the acquired collateral in addition to counterparty credit risk. The acquired 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. If the acquired collateral declines in value and becomes less than the repurchase price, plus any agreed-upon additional amount, the counterparty must provide additional collateral so that at all times the collateral value is at least equal to the repurchase price plus any agreed-upon additional amount. 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 — The Currency Strategy Funds, except the U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund, utilized forward foreign currency contracts (‘‘Forward Contracts’’) to obtain net long exposure to foreign currencies consistent with each Currency Strategy Fund’s investment strategy. The U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain net short exposure to foreign currencies consistent with its investment strategy. The Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to foreign currencies consistent with its investment objective. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to the Japanese Yen consistent with its investment objective. A 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 does not require an initial margin deposit and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. However, if a Fund is in an unrealized loss position on a Forward Contract, it may be required to pledge collateral (or additional collateral) to the counterparty. If a Fund is in an unrealized gain position on a Forward Contract, it may receive collateral from the counterparty.

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 and included in net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation/depreciation from foreign currency contracts on the

Statements of Operations. Realized gains and losses on Forward Contracts include net gains or losses recognized by the Funds on contracts which have settled are included in net realized gain (loss) from foreign currency contracts on the Statements of Operations.

Futures Contracts — The Duration Funds and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund utilized futures contracts to obtain net short exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against a rise in interest rates. The Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund and the Mortgage Plus Bond Fund each utilized futures contracts on U.S. Treasury bonds to manage interest rate risk. The Managed Futures Strategy Fund utilized futures contracts to obtain long and short exposures to currencies, commodities and interest rates consistent with its investment objective. 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.

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 or at other agreed-upon time periods depending on the fluctuations in the value of the underlying futures contracts, except that in the case of certain futures contracts, variation margin payments may be made or received when the futures contract expires. 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. The current one day variation margin on open futures contracts is shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as either a receivable or a payable for ‘‘Net variation margin on futures contracts’’. The variation margins received or paid by the Funds on both open and closed futures contracts are shown in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, in whole or in part, as a component of, or an offset to, ‘‘Deposits at broker for futures contracts’’. Deposits at broker utilized for futures contract margin requirements generally are restricted from withdrawal. 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 leverage and other related risks. To cover its position, a Fund will segregate assets consisting of, or take other measures with respect to, cash or liquid securities that, when added to any amounts deposited with a futures commission merchant as margin, will “cover” its position in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act or the rules and SEC interpretations thereunder. This 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.

Options Contracts — The CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund utilized option contracts by writing put options on the S&P 500 Index consistent with its investment objective. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer of the option the obligation to buy, the underlying security or financial instrument. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and the writer of the option the obligation to sell, the underlying security or financial instrument. A premium is paid to the writer of an option as consideration for undertaking the obligation in the contract. The CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund may purchase and write options on an exchange or over the counter (“OTC”). OTC options differ from exchange-traded options in several respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing corporation, and therefore entail the risk of nonperformance by the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities and for a wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices than are available for exchange-traded options. Because OTC options are not traded on an exchange, pricing is done normally by reference to information from a market maker.

When an option is purchased, an amount equal to the premium paid is recorded as an asset, the value of which is marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. If the purchased option expires, a loss equal to the amount of premium paid is realized. When a security or financial instrument is purchased or sold through the exercise of an option, the related premium paid is added to the basis of the security or financial instrument acquired or deducted from the proceeds of the security or financial instrument sold.

When an option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the premium received is recorded as a realized gain. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium received plus the option exercise price and the basis in the underlying security (in the case of a covered written call option), or the cost to purchase the underlying security (in the case of an uncovered written call option), including brokerage commission, is recognized as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the security purchased from the exercise of the written put option to form the basis in the underlying security purchased.

The purchaser or writer of an option may close the position before the exercise of the option by entering into a closing transaction. In the case of a written option, the cost of a closing transaction is deducted from the original premium received resulting in a realized gain or loss. With respect to a purchased option, the original premium paid is deducted from the proceeds received from a closing transaction resulting in a realized gain or loss.

Written options may constitute a fair value guarantee on a financial asset under the provisions of FASB Codification Topic 460 — Guarantees. The maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the associated strike prices. At August 31, 2020, the maximum payout for written put options for the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund was $118,136,500. The maximum payout for written call options is potentially unlimited to the extent that the written call option is uncovered.

The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premiums paid. The risk in writing a covered call option is that the writer of the option may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing an uncovered call option is that the writer of the option is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the writer of the option may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. In addition, there is the risk that the purchaser or writer of an option may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

Other significant risks associated with the use of options contracts may include the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the investment adviser’s ability to predict movements in the prices of individual commodities, currencies or securities, fluctuations in markets and movements in interest rates; (2) there may be an imperfect or no correlation between the changes in market value of the commodities, currencies or securities and the price of options; (3) although the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund intends to enter into options contracts only if there is an active market for such contracts, there is no assurance that an active market will exist for the contracts at any particular time; (4) trading restrictions or limitations may be imposed by an exchange; and (5) government regulations may restrict trading in options contracts.

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 cash collateral can be invested in certain money market mutual funds which also have exposure to the fluctuations of the market. The values of the investments of cash collateral for securities on loan along with the obligations to return such collateral are included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The total value of securities received as collateral for securities on loan is included in a footnote following each Schedule of Investments but is not included within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities because the receiving Fund does not have the right to sell or repledge the securities received as collateral. As compensation for lending its securities, each Fund retains all or a portion of the interest received on investment of cash collateral or receives a fee from the borrower. The lending agent receives a portion of the income earned by the Funds in connection with the lending program. The securities lending income earned by the Funds is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. 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. Dividends received while a security is out on loan are not considered Qualified Dividend Income (“QDI”) under the specific criteria issued by the Internal Revenue Service and are subject to taxation at the shareholder’s ordinary income tax rate instead of the lower long-term capital gains tax rate. Lending portfolio securities could result in a loss or delay in recovering each Fund’s securities if the borrower defaults. In the event of a borrower default with respect to the failure to return to each Fund some or all of the securities loaned, the securities lending agent shall indemnify each Fund against the failure of the borrower.

Master Netting Arrangements — FASB ASC Topic 210 (“ASC 210”), Balance Sheet, requires disclosures generally intended to (i) help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position, (ii) improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, and (iii) facilitate comparisons between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of international financial reporting standards. ASC 210 requires entities to disclose (i) gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial statements, and (ii) instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASC 210 is limited in scope to the following financial instruments, to the extent they are offset in the financial statements or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement: (i) recognized derivative instruments accounted for under ASC 815 (Derivatives and Hedging); (ii) repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; and (iii) securities borrowing and securities lending transactions.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help a Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, a Fund enters into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) with its counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives (“OTC”), such as Forward Contracts, and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms, netting and rights of set-off provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and receivables to create a single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of a default (close-out netting) or similar event, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty.

Collateral requirements generally differ by type of derivative. Collateral terms are contract-specific for OTC derivatives (e.g. foreign exchange contracts, options and certain swaps). Generally, for transactions traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are calculated by netting the marked to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a counterparty must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer is required to be made. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its derivatives counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from a counterparty’s non-performance.

Repurchase agreements are subject to the terms and conditions of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“Master Repurchase Agreement”) between a Fund and a counterparty. In the event of a default or failure by a party to perform an obligation with respect to a repurchase transaction, the Master Repurchase Agreement gives the non-defaulting party the right to set-off claims and to apply collateral held by it in connection with a repurchase transaction against obligations owed to the non-defaulting party.

The Funds’ security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Funds and the lending agent. The Lending Agreement authorizes the lending agent to lend qualifying U.S. and foreign securities held by a Fund to approved borrowers (each a “Borrower”). To mitigate borrower risk, a Fund typically receives from a Borrower collateral in the form of U.S. dollar cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies in excess of the market value of the securities loaned. Under the provisions of the Lending Agreement, a Fund shall have, as to the collateral, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law. A Fund is exposed to risk of loss if a Borrower defaults on its obligation to return borrowed securities and the value of the collateral a Fund received is insufficient to cover the market value of the securities loaned. Also, the lending agent is permitted to invest the cash collateral it receives from a Borrower into a money market fund which is subject to market fluctuation. Therefore, a Fund is exposed to risk of loss if the value of invested cash collateral is insufficient to satisfy the Fund’s obligation to return the full amount owed to such Borrower.

The Funds’ futures contracts and option contracts are all exchange traded and are not subject to master netting arrangements. Therefore, all futures contracts and option contracts are excluded from the netting table below.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds elect to not offset assets and liabilities subject to an ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement or Lending Agreement, if any, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Therefore, all qualifying transactions are presented on a gross basis in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of August 31, 2020, the impact of netting of assets and liabilities and the offsetting of collateral pledged or received based on contractual netting/set-off provisions in the ISDA Master Agreement, Master Repurchase Agreement and the Lending Agreement are detailed in the following table:

The amount of collateral presented has been limited such that the net amount by counterparty cannot be less than zero.

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.

Interest-Only and Principal-Only Securities — The Funds may invest in interest-only (“IO”) and principal-only (“PO”) securities which are typically created by splitting a traditional mortgage-backed security or pool of loans into an IO and a PO security. In general, the IO security is entitled to receive the interest payments on the underlying debt obligation(s) and the PO security is entitled to receive the principal payments of the underlying debt obligation(s). Both IO and PO securities are subject to prepayments and therefore prepayment risk. IO securities are at risk for faster than anticipated prepayments and PO securities are at risk for slower than anticipated prepayments. Assumptions regarding the rates of prepayment play a significant role in the value of these securities. If the underlying debt obligation experiences greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in the IO security.

Collateralized Loan Obligations — The Funds may invest in the debt tranche of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). CLOs bear many of the same risks as other forms of asset-backed securities, including interest rate risk, credit risk and default risk. As CLOs are backed by pools of loans, they also bear similar risks to investing in loans directly. CLOs issue classes or “tranches” that vary in risk profile and yield. CLOs may experience substantial losses attributable to loan defaults. Losses caused by defaults on underlying assets are borne first by the holders of subordinate tranches. The value of an investment in a CLO may decline as a result of, but not limited to, underlying loan defaults and/or market anticipation of defaults, credit impairment on the underlying loans or the disappearance of one of more subordinate tranches resulting from changes in the credit profile of the underlying loans.

To-be-announced Transactions — Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Mortgage Plus Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund invest in U.S. agency mortgage-backed pass-through securities which are securities issued by entities such as Government National Mortgage Association and Federal National Mortgage Association that are backed by pools of mortgages. Most transactions in mortgage-backed pass-through securities occur for future delivery in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until a few days prior to settlement, referred to as a “to-be-announced transaction” or “TBA Transaction.” In a TBA Transaction, the buyer and seller agree upon general trade parameters such as agency, settlement date, par amount and price. The actual pools delivered generally are determined a few days prior to the settlement date; however, it is not anticipated that the Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Mortgage Plus Bond Fund, Yield Enhanced U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund and the Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund will take delivery of pools, but instead will participate in rolling TBA Transactions whereby instead of receiving pools on the purchase settlement date, the position is offset by a current sale of the TBA security with a simultaneous forward purchase of a substantially similar TBA security (i.e. same type, coupon, maturity) to settle on a specified future date.

Short Sale Transactions — Each Fund may enter into “short sale” transactions in which a Fund sells a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of that security. When a Fund enters into a short sale transaction, the Fund will borrow the security and deliver it to the counterparty to which the Fund sold the security short. An amount equal to the proceeds to be received by the Fund is reflected as an asset in ‘‘Receivables due from broker for securities sold short’’ and an equivalent liability in ‘‘Securities sold short, at value’’ on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the securities sold short. Any interest or dividends that accrue on the securities borrowed are shown as an interest expense or dividend expense in the Statement of Operations of the Fund. A realized gain, limited to the proceeds received at which the Fund sold the security short, or a realized loss, unlimited as to the dollar amount, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the cost to close out the short sale transaction is either less than (in the case

of a gain) or greater than (in the case of a loss) the proceeds received. The risk of loss on a short sale transaction is potentially unlimited unlike the risk of loss on a long position, which is limited to the amount paid for the investment plus transaction costs. Funds entering into short sale transactions are exposed to the risk that they may be unable to close out a short sale position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

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”). A portion of the Code, known as subchapter M (“Subchapter M”), addresses the ways by which investment companies and investment trusts may pass income through to shareholders in order to avoid double taxation. Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code so that it will not be subject to federal income tax on income and gains that are timely distributed to Fund shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In order to qualify for the special tax treatment accorded RICs and their shareholders, each Fund must, among other things, distribute with respect to each taxable year an amount equal to or greater than the sum of 90% of its investment company taxable income and 90% of its net tax-exempt interest income. 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. 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.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

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 Investments Corporation (‘‘Mellon’’) to provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, except for Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (after June 4, 2020), Mortgage Plus Bond Fund and Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund which are sub-advised by Voya Investment Management Co., LLC (‘‘Voya IM’’). Prior to June 4, 2020, sub-advisory services for the Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund were provided by Mellon and thereafter by Voya IM. Mellon and Voya IM are compensated by WTAM at no additional cost to the Funds. WTAM also arranges for transfer agency, custody, fund accounting, fund administration, securities lending and all other non-distribution related services necessary for the Funds to operate, which are generally under separate agreements entered into between the Trust on behalf of the Funds and the applicable service provider. 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, as 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, accrued daily and paid monthly in arrears, of up to 0.0044% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

WTAM expects to receive annual advisory fees from each Fund, based on a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, as shown in the following table:

As of August 31, 2020, there were an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest authorized by the Trust. Shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in creation units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in creation units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable.

Certain financial derivatives may be considered section 1256 contracts under the Code. Each section 1256 contract held at the close of a taxable year shall be treated as sold for its fair market value on the last business day of such taxable year (and any realized gain and loss shall be taken into account for the taxable year). As such, the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for financial derivatives on a tax basis may not correspond to the unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) on a GAAP basis. The unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for financial derivatives on a GAAP basis is located in the respective financial derivatives tables in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

 

These differences are primarily due to the calculation of realized book income from wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, redemptions-in-kind, net operating losses, and net operating loss offsets.

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 withholding taxes, as applicable, are accrued based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Foreign withholding taxes are accrued and applied to foreign income, net realized capital gains and net unrealized appreciation, as applicable, as the foreign income is earned or capital gains and unrealized appreciation are recorded. As of and during the fiscal year or period ended August 31, 2020, 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. Specific to U.S. federal and state taxes, generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended August 31, 2020, remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. Specific to foreign countries in which the Funds invest, all open tax years remain subject to examination by taxing authorities in the respective jurisdictions.

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”) Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) —Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provide optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and other interbank-offered based reference rates at the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. WTAM is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2020-04 will have on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of WisdomTree Trust, the Board of Trustees approved a new sub-advisory agreement, which went into effect on June 4, 2020, with respect to the Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (the “Affected Fund”), between WTAM and Voya IM, pursuant to which Voya IM provides sub-advisory services to the Fund. Voya IM replaced Mellon as the sub-adviser to the Fund. This change did not affect the management fee or expense ratio of the Affected Fund. Please see the “Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements” herein on page 152 and the Affected Fund’s current prospectus dated June 1, 2020 for additional information.

A recent outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has spread globally in a short period of time. In an organized attempt to contain and mitigate the effects of COVID-19, governments and businesses world-wide have taken aggressive measures, including businesses canceling dividends to preserve cash, governments closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines of large populations. COVID-19 has resulted in the disruption of and delays in the delivery of healthcare services and processes, the cancellation of organized events and educational institutions, the disruption of production and supply chains, a decline in consumer demand for certain goods and services, and general concern and uncertainty, all of which have contributed to increased volatility in global markets. The effects of COVID-19 have affected and are likely to continue to affect certain sectors and industries more dramatically than others, and the effects borne by some will negatively affect the value of the issuers in those sectors and industries, which may adversely affect the value of a Fund’s investments in those sectors or industries. COVID-19, and other epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations, the global economy, individual companies and capital markets in ways that cannot be foreseen at the present time. In addition, the impact of infectious diseases in developing or emerging market countries may be greater due to limited health care resources. Political, economic and social stresses caused by COVID-19 also may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries. The duration of COVID-19 and its effects cannot be determined at this time, but the effects could be present for an extended period of time. It is impossible to predict the effects on the Funds of these or similar events and market conditions in the future. However, it is possible that these or similar events and market conditions could have a significant and adverse effect on the NAV and/or risk profile of a Fund.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (concluded)

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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

 

Consideration of the Approval of Sub-Advisory Agreement for the WisdomTree Interest Rate Hedged High Yield Bond Fund (the “Fund”)

 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) held on December 9-10, 2019, the Trustees (the “Trustees”), including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to which Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya”) will coordinate the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund. Management discussed with the Board its proposal to terminate Mellon Investments Corporation as the sub-adviser to the Fund and to appoint Voya as the Fund’s sub-adviser. Management noted that Voya currently serves as the sub-adviser to certain other series of the Trust.

In considering whether to approve the Agreement, the Trustees considered and discussed information and analysis provided by WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”). The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from WTAM representatives and Voya. In considering the approval of the Agreement, the Board considered all factors that it believed to be relevant, including those discussed below. The Board did not identify any one factor as dispositive, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the factors considered.

Analysis of Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services to be Provided to the Fund. The Board considered information provided to them at the meeting and in previous presentations throughout the year from WTAM representatives regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the WisdomTree funds, recognizing Voya’s operational capabilities and resources. The Board also considered WTAM’s favorable assessment of the nature and quality of the sub-advisory services expected to be provided to the Fund by Voya and WTAM’s recommendation to engage Voya.

Based on review of this information and the other factors considered at the meeting, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Voya under the Agreement are adequate and appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Agreement.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance, Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses. Because Voya would be a newly-appointed sub-adviser for the Fund, the Board could not consider Voya’s investment performance in managing the Fund’s portfolio as a factor in evaluating the Agreement during the meeting. The Board discussed the portfolio management team and the investment strategies to be employed in the management of the Fund’s assets. The Board noted the reputation and experience of Voya.

The Board considered the proposed fees to be paid under the Agreement, noting that Voya’s fee would be paid by WTAM (out of its fee paid by the Fund), and not the Fund, and thus would not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board considered the fee to be paid to Voya in relation to the fee to be paid to WTAM by the Fund and the respective services to be provided by Voya and WTAM. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to Voya supported the Board’s approval of the Agreement.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board recognized that, because Voya’s fee would be paid by WTAM, and not the Fund, an analysis of profitability and economies of scale was more appropriate in the context of the Board’s consideration of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and WTAM. Accordingly, the Board did not consider Voya’s profitability to be relevant to its deliberations with respect to approval of the Agreement. The Board considered potential benefits to Voya from acting as sub-adviser to the Fund.

*    *    *    *    *    *

In evaluating the Agreement, the Board considered the conclusions and determinations discussed above and also relied on its knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with WTAM and Voya, of other funds sub-advised by Voya. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the Agreement.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)

 

Effective June 1, 2019, the Funds adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Rule requires registered open-end funds, including exchange-traded funds such as the Funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and shareholder redemptions. The Rule is designed to mitigate the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interest of remaining investors. The Board has appointed WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc., the investment advisor to the Funds, as the Program Administrator for each Fund’s Program.

The Rule requires the Funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk at least annually considering applicable factors such as investment strategy and liquidity during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the strategy is appropriate for an open-ended fund and whether the Fund has a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers. The Funds must also assess their use of borrowings and derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections in normal and stressed conditions, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.

The Rule also requires the Funds to classify their investments into one of four liquidity categories: highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid based on the number of days a Fund expects it would take to liquidate the investment, and to review these classifications at least monthly or more often under certain conditions. The periods range from three or fewer business days for a highly liquid investment to greater than seven calendar days for settlement of a less liquid investment. Illiquid investments are those a Fund does not expect to be able to sell or dispose of within seven calendar days without significantly changing the market value of the investment. A Fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. In addition, if a Fund permits redemptions in-kind, the Rule requires the Fund to establish redemption in-kind policies and procedures governing how and when it will engage in such redemptions.

Pursuant to the Rule’s requirements, the Program has been reviewed and approved by the Fund’s Board. Furthermore, the Board has received a written report prepared by the Program Administrator that addresses the operation of the Program, assesses its adequacy and effectiveness and describes any material changes made to the Program. The Program Administrator has monitored the Fund’s liquidity risk and the liquidity classifications of the securities held by the Fund and has determined that the Program is operating effectively.

During the period from June 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020, there were no material changes to the Program and no material liquidity events that impacted the Funds. During the period, the Funds held sufficient highly liquid assets to meet fund redemptions.

Under normal expected foreseeable Fund redemption forecasts and foreseeable stressed Fund redemption forecasts, the Program Administrator believes that the Funds maintain sufficient highly liquid assets to meet Fund redemptions.

Table of Contents

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 Foreside Fund Services, LLC, 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. 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. High-yield or “junk” bonds have lower credit ratings and involve a greater risk to principal. One of the risks associated with the Managed Futures Strategy Fund (WTMF) is the complexity of the different factors which contribute to the 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 WTMF is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk. WTMF 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” WTMF may suffer significant losses. Unlike typical exchange-traded funds, there are no indexes that the actively managed Currency Strategy Funds, actively managed Fixed Income Funds or WTMF 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 by Authorized Participants in large creation unit sizes of shares.

This report is intended for the Funds’ shareholders. It may not be distributed to prospective investors unless it is preceded or accompanied by the current prospectus.

There have been no amendments, during the period covered by this report, to a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, and that relates to any element of the code of ethics description.

 

  (d)

The registrant has not granted any waivers, including an implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these individuals are employed by the registrant or a third party, that relates to one or more of the items set forth in paragraph (b) of this item’s instructions.

The code of ethics is attached hereto as exhibit 13(a)(1).

The audit committee financial expert serving on the registrant’s audit committee is David Chrencik, who is an independent trustee of the registrant, as that term is defined under Item 3(a) (2).

 

Item 4.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

Audit-Related Fees

 

  (b)

The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item were $0 for 2020 and $0 for 2019.

Tax Fees
     (c)      The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning were $137,240 for 2020 and $136,890 for 2019.

The audit committee must also, prior to appointment of the engagement of the principal accountant, review and approve the fees proposed to be charged to the registrant by the auditors for each audit and non-audit service. The audit committee must also consider whether non-audit services provided by the registrant’s principal accountant to the registrant’s investment adviser, or adviser/affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant are compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

EX-99.CODE ETH

WISDOMTREE TRUST

CODE OF ETHICS

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS

 

I.

PURPOSE OF THE CODE

The WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers (this “Code”) is intended to serve as the code of ethics described in Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 2 of Form N-CSR. This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Trust’s adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers, as defined herein, who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust’s and its investment adviser’s, and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

All Covered Officers must become familiar and fully comply with this Code. Because this Code cannot and does not cover every applicable law or provide answers to all questions that might arise, all Covered Officers are expected to use common sense about what is right and wrong, including a sense of when it is proper to seek guidance from others on the appropriate course of conduct.

The purpose of this Code is to set standards for the Covered Officers that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

   

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in any other public communications by the Trust;

 

   

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

 

   

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to the appropriate persons as set forth in the Code; and

 

   

accountability for adherence to the Code.


II.

COVERED PERSONS

This Code applies to the Trust’s Principal Executive Officers and Principal Financial Officers, or any persons performing similar functions on behalf of the Trust (the “Covered Officers”). Each Covered Person should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. Covered Officers are expected to act in accordance with the standards set forth in this Code.

 

III.

HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

 

  A.

Honesty, Diligence and Professional Responsibility

Covered Officers are expected to observe both the form and the spirit of the ethical principles contained in this Code. Covered Officers must perform their duties and responsibilities for the Trust:

 

   

with honesty, diligence, and a commitment to professional and ethical responsibility;

 

   

carefully, thoroughly and in a timely manner; and

 

   

in conformity with applicable professional and technical standards.

Covered Officers who are certified public accountants are expected to carry out their duties and responsibilities in a manner consistent with the principles governing the accounting profession, including any guidelines or principles issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants from time to time.

 

  B.

Objectivity/Avoidance of Undisclosed Conflicts of Interest

Covered Officers are expected to maintain objectivity and avoid undisclosed conflicts of interest. In the performance of their duties and responsibilities for the Trust, Covered Officers must not subordinate their judgment to personal gain and advantage, or be unduly influenced by their own interests or by the interests of others. Covered Officers must avoid participation in any activity or relationship that constitutes a conflict of interest unless that conflict has been completely disclosed to affected parties and waived by the Trustees on behalf of the Trust. Further, Covered Officers should avoid participation in any activity or relationship that could create the appearance of a conflict of interest.

A conflict of interest would generally arise if, for instance, a Covered Officer directly or indirectly participates in any investment, interest, association, activity or relationship that may impair or appear to impair the Covered Officer’s objectivity or interfere with the interests of, or the Covered Officer’s service to, the Trust.

 

2


Any Covered Officer who may be involved in a situation or activity that might be a conflict of interest or give the appearance of a conflict of interest must report such situation or activity using the reporting procedures set forth in Section VI of this Code.

Each Covered Officer must not:

 

   

use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

 

   

cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take actions, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust; or

 

   

use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer is responsible for his or her compliance with this conflict of interest policy.

 

  C.

Preparation of Financial Statements

Covered Officers must not knowingly make any misrepresentations regarding the Trust’s financial statements or any facts in the preparation of the Trust’s financial statements, and must comply with all applicable laws, standards, principles, guidelines, rules and regulations in the preparation of the Trust’s financial statements. This section is intended to prohibit:

 

   

making, or permitting or directing another to make, materially false or misleading entries in the Trust’s financial statements or records;

 

   

failing to correct the Trust’s financial statements or records that are materially false or misleading when he or she has the authority to record an entry; and

 

   

signing, or permitting or directing another to sign, a document containing materially false or misleading financial information.

Covered Officers must be scrupulous in their application of generally accepted accounting principles. No Covered Officer may (i) express an opinion or state affirmatively that the financial statements or other financial data of the Trust are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, or (ii) state that he or she is not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such statements or data in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, if such statements or data contain any departure from generally accepted accounting principles then in effect in the United States.

 

3


Covered Officers must follow the laws, standards, principles, guidelines, rules and regulations established by all applicable governmental bodies, commissions or other regulatory agencies in the preparation of financial statements, records and related information. If a Covered Officer prepares financial statements, records or related information for purposes of reporting to such bodies, commissions or regulatory agencies, the Covered Officer must follow the requirements of such organizations in addition to generally accepted accounting principles.

If a Covered Officer and his or her supervisor have a disagreement or dispute relating to the preparation of financial statements or the recording of transactions, the Covered Officer should take the following steps to ensure that the situation does not constitute an impermissible subordination of judgment:

 

   

The Covered Officer should consider whether (i) the entry or the failure to record a transaction in the records, or (ii) the financial statement presentation or the nature or omission of disclosure in the financial statements, as proposed by the supervisor, represents the use of an acceptable alternative and does not materially misrepresent the facts or result in an omission of a material fact. If, after appropriate research or consultation, the Covered Officer concludes that the matter has authoritative support and/or does not result in a material misrepresentation, the Covered Officer need do nothing further.

 

   

If the Covered Officer concludes that the financial statements or records could be materially misstated as a result of the supervisor’s determination, the Covered Officer should follow the reporting procedures set forth in Section VI of this Code.

 

  D.

Obligations to the Independent Auditor of the Trust

In dealing with the Trust’s independent auditor, Covered Officers must be candid and not knowingly misrepresent facts or knowingly fail to disclose material facts, and must respond to specific inquiries and requests by the Trust’s independent auditor.

Covered Officers must not take any action, or direct any person to take any action, to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead the Trust’s independent auditor in the performance of an audit of the Trust’s financial statements for the purpose of rendering such financial statements materially misleading.

 

IV.

FULL, FAIR, ACCURATE, TIMELY AND UNDERSTANDABLE DISCLOSURE

It is the Trust’s policy to provide full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in any other public communications by the Trust. The Trust has designed and implemented Disclosure Controls and Procedures to carry out this policy.

Covered Officers are expected to familiarize themselves with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust, and to use their best efforts to promote, facilitate, and prepare full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in any other public communications by the Trust.

 

4


Covered Officers must review the Trust’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures to ensure they are aware of and carry out their duties and responsibilities in accordance with the Disclosure Controls and Procedures and the disclosure obligations of the Trust. Covered Officers are responsible for monitoring the integrity and effectiveness of the Trust’s Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

 

V.

COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

Covered Officers are expected to know, respect and comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to the conduct of the Trust’s business. If a Covered Officer is in doubt about the legality or propriety of an action, business practice or policy, the Covered Officer should seek advice from the Covered Officer’s supervisor or the Trust’s legal counsel.

In the performance of their work, Covered Officers must not knowingly be a party to any illegal activity or engage in acts that are discreditable to the Trust.

Covered Officers are expected to promote the Trust’s compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. To promote such compliance, Covered Officers may establish and maintain mechanisms to educate employees carrying out the finance and compliance functions of the Trust about any applicable laws, rules or regulations that affect the operation of the finance and compliance functions and the Trust generally.

 

VI.

REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

All Covered Officers will be held accountable for adherence to this Code. Each Covered Officer must, upon the Trust’s adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he/she has received, read, and understands this Code by signing the Acknowledgement Form attached hereto as Appendix A. Thereafter, each Covered Officer, on an annual basis, must affirm to the Board that he/she has complied with the requirements of this Code.

Covered Officers may not retaliate against any other Covered Officer of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

 

  A.

Any Covered Officer who knows of any violation of this Code or who questions whether a situation, activity or practice is acceptable must immediately report such practice to the Trust’s Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall take appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations. If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action. Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation will be reported to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Audit Committee shall respond to the Covered Officer within a reasonable period of time.

 

5


  B.

If the Covered Officer is not satisfied with the response of the Audit Committee, the Covered Officer shall report the matter to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. If the Chairman is unavailable, the Covered Officer may report the matter to any other member of the Board of Trustees. The person receiving the report shall consider the matter, refer it to the full Board of Trustees if he or she deems appropriate, and respond to the Covered Officer within a reasonable amount of time. If the Board of Trustees concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of and appropriate modifications to applicable policies and procedures or notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board.

 

  C.

If the Board of Trustees determines that a Covered Officer violated this Code, failed to report a known or suspected violation of this Code, or provided intentionally false or malicious information in connection with an alleged violation of this Code, the Board of Trustees may take disciplinary action against any such Covered Officer to the extent the Board of Trustees deems appropriate. No Covered Officer will be disciplined for reporting a concern in good faith.

To the extent possible and as allowed by law, reports will be treated as confidential. The Trust may report violations of the law to the appropriate authorities.

 

VII.

DISCLOSURE OF THIS CODE

This Code shall be disclosed to the public by at least one of the following methods in the manner prescribed by the SEC, unless otherwise required by law:

 

   

Filing a copy of this Code as an exhibit to the Trust’s annual report on Form N- CSR;

 

   

Posting the text of this Code on the Trust’s Internet website and disclosing, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted this Code on its Internet website; or

 

   

Providing an undertaking in the Trust’s most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide a copy of this Code to any person without charge upon request, and explaining the manner in which such a request may be made.

 

VIII.

  WAIVERS

Any waiver of this Code, including an implicit waiver, granted to a Covered Officer may be made only by the Board of Trustees or a committee of the Board to which such responsibility has been delegated, and must be disclosed by the Trust in the manner prescribed by law and as set forth above in Section VII (Disclosure of this Code).

 

6


IX.

AMENDMENTS

This Code may be amended by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees. Any amendment of this Code must be disclosed by the Trust in the manner prescribed by law and as set forth above in Section VII (Disclosure of this Code), unless such amendment is deemed to be technical, administrative, or otherwise non-substantive. Any amendments to this Code will be provided to the Covered Officers.

 

X.

CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Audit Committee, the legal counsel to the Trust, legal counsel to the independent trustees and such other persons as a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, shall determine to be appropriate.

Adopted: February 2007
