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 following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and the index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2018, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.50%.

Total returns are calculated based on the commencement of Fund trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. on December 18, 2013.

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

The WisdomTree Brazilian Real Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in Brazil available to foreign investors and changes in value of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar. The Brazilian real is a developing market currency, which can experience periods of significant volatility. Although the Fund invests in very short-term, investment grade instruments, the Fund is not a ‘‘money market’’ fund and it is not the objective of the Fund to maintain a constant share price.

The following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund.

The WisdomTree Emerging Currency Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to achieve total returns reflective of both money market rates in selected emerging market countries available to foreign investors and changes to the value of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Emerging market currencies can experience periods of significant volatility.

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

The following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

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

The WisdomTree Barclays 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’’).

The following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and the index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2018, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.23%.

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

The following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and the index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2018, the Fund’s annual expense ratio was 0.60%.

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

The WisdomTree Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the ‘‘Fund’’) seeks to provide investors with positive total returns in rising or falling markets.

The following performance table is provided for comparative purposes and represents the period noted. The Fund’s per share NAV is the value of one share of the Fund and is calculated by dividing the value of total assets less total liabilities by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market price return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market price returns is the mid-point of the highest bid and lowest offer for Fund shares as of the close of trading on the exchange where Fund shares are listed. NAV and market price returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at NAV and market price, respectively. As with other ETFs, NAV returns and market price returns may differ because of factors such as the supply and demand for Fund shares and investors’ assessments of the underlying value of the Fund’s portfolio securities.

An index is a statistical measure of a specified financial market or sector. An index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities, incur expenses or pay any transaction costs. Therefore, index returns do not reflect deductions for fees or expenses and the index is not available for direct investment. In comparison, the Fund’s performance is negatively impacted by these deductions. Fund returns do not reflect brokerage commissions or taxes a shareholder would pay on the sale of Fund shares or on Fund distributions. As of the Fund’s current prospectus dated January 1, 2018, the Fund’s net and gross annual expense ratios were 0.65% and 0.75%, respectively. WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. has contractually agreed to limit the management fee to 0.65% through December 31, 2018, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Trust for any reason at any time.

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

CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index:

The CBOE® Russell 2000 PutWrite Index tracks the value of a cash-secured (i.e. collateralized) put option sales strategy, which consists of selling (or “writing”) Russell 2000® Index put options and investing the sale proceeds in one-month Treasury bills.

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.

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.

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.

Forward Currency Contracts:

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

The Chinese yuan NDF return rate relative to the U.S. dollar calculated by WisdomTree is the rate of return percentage difference between the end of period NDF rate and the beginning of period NDF rate using WM/Reuters Singapore closing rates.

WisdomTree Managed Futures Index:

On a monthly basis, assets with lower realized volatility will be selected, and a determination to go long or short the futures contracts of the selected assets under a proprietary composite momentum framework will be made. The composite momentum framework incorporates multiple momentum signals to decide the direction and weight in the index.

Shareholder Expense Examples (unaudited)

 

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 following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2017 to February 28, 2018.

Actual expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table on the next page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period 9/1/17 to 2/28/18” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line under each Fund in the table on the next page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. Therefore, the second line under each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing Fund costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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.

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 or large investors 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 assets may be valued as of the announced closing time for such securities on any day that the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association announces an early closing time. 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. For the Chinese Yuan Strategy Fund, Emerging Currency Strategy Fund, Asia Local Debt 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 or are not deemed to reflect current market values, 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 WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“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 each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy 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

 

128   WisdomTree Currency Strategy, Fixed Income and Alternative Funds


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

 

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 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 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 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 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 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 Pricing Committee meets at least on a monthly basis to review and discuss the appropriateness of such fair values using more current information such as, recent security news, recent market transactions, updated corporate action information and/or other macro or security specific events. Also, when observable inputs become available, the Pricing Committee conducts back testing of the methodologies used to value Level 3 financial instruments to substantiate the unobservable inputs used to value those investments. Such back testing includes comparing Level 3 investment values to observable inputs such as exchange-traded prices, transaction prices, and/or vendor prices.

The following is a summary of the fair valuations according to the inputs used as of February 28, 2018 in valuing each Fund’s assets:

Derivatives and Hedging Disclosure — Codification Topic 815 (“ASC 815”), Derivatives and Hedging, requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The Funds have invested in derivatives, specifically foreign currency contracts, futures contracts and options contracts during the period ended February 28, 2018 and open positions in such derivatives as of February 28, 2018 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 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 February 28, 2018 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, as disclosed on page 140. At February 28, 2018, no event occurred that triggered a credit-risk-related contingent feature. Information with respect to the amounts and types of collateral received and/or posted for derivative instruments as of February 28, 2018, if any, is reflected as a footnote below the respective derivatives tables on each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

As of February 28, 2018, the effects of such derivative instruments on each Fund’s financial position as reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are presented in the summary below:

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 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.

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 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 partition 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 (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% 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 Contract”) to obtain net long exposure to foreign currencies consistent with each Currency Strategy Fund’s investment objective. The U.S. Dollar Bullish Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain net short exposure to foreign currencies consistent with its investment objective. The Asia Local Debt Fund and the Emerging Markets Local Debt Fund utilized Forward Contracts to obtain long and short exposures to foreign currencies consistent with each Fund’s 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 utilized futures contracts to obtain short exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds to hedge against a rise in interest rates. The Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund 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 payments may be made or received at settlement. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. 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 prior variation margins 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,

“Cash” and/or “Deposits at broker for futures contracts”. 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 Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the “Funds”) utilized option contracts by writing put options on the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 Indexes, respectively, consistent with their 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 Funds 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 the Funds purchase an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Funds 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, the Funds realize a loss equal to the amount of premium paid. 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 the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds 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 Funds’ 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 by the Funds from the exercise of the written put option to form the Funds’ 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 to the Funds. 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 to the Funds.

Written options may constitute a fair value guarantee on a financial asset under the provisions of FASB Codification Topic 460 —Guarantees. The Fund’s maximum payout for written put options is limited to the number of contracts written and the associated strike prices. At February 28, 2018, the CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund’s maximum payout for written put options was $2,464,000. At February 28, 2018, the CBOE S&P 500 PutWrite Strategy Fund’s maximum payout for written put options was $207,039,500. The maximum payout for written call options is potentially unlimited to the extent that the written call option is uncovered.

The Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds are 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 Funds 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 Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

Other significant risks associated with the Funds’ use of options contracts may include the following: (1) the success of a strategy may depend on the Fund 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 Funds intend 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. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees, all of which are included in the securities lending income earned by the Funds and 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.

Master Netting Arrangements — ASU No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”) is 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. ASU 2011-11 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. ASU 2011-11 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 may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar 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”), including 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 property held by it in connection with a repurchase transaction against obligations owed to the non-defaulting party.

A Fund’s security lending activities are governed by a Securities Lending Authorization Agreement (“Lending Agreement”) between the Fund 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 master 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 February 28, 2018, 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:

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.

To-be-announced Transactions — Interest Rate Hedged U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate 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, Negative Duration U.S. Aggregate 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 received by the Fund is reflected as an asset and an equivalent liability in 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”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. 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 BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (“MCM”) to provide sub-advisory services to the Funds, except for Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund and Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund which are sub-advised by Voya Investment Management Co., LLC (“Voya IM”). MCM 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

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

As of February 28, 2018, 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. Transactions in shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Generally, Funds issue and redeem shares on a cash basis, however, shares may also be issued or redeemed in kind. Investors purchasing and redeeming creation units may be charged a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of creation units.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding purchases and sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions and short-term investments) and the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales resulting from in-kind capital share transactions (excluding short-term investments) for the six months or period ended February 28, 2018 are shown in the following table. Realized gains and

7. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08 Receivables — Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in ASU 2017-08 shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. WTAM is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Trust’s financial statements and related disclosures.

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

 

Consideration of the Renewal of Investment Advisory and Sub-Investment Advisory Agreements with respect to all Funds (except the WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the WisdomTree Barclays Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of the WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) held on September 26-27, 2017 (the “Meeting”), 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 renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements between WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”) and the Trust, on behalf of each series included in this report (except, the WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund and the WisdomTree Barclays Yield Enhanced U.S. Short-Term Aggregate Bond Fund) (each, a “Fund,” and, collectively, the “Funds”), pursuant to which WTAM provides the Funds with investment advisory services (the “Advisory Agreements”), the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “MCM Sub-Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (“MCM”) coordinates the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds, except WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund, and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (together with the MCM Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements,” and, collectively with the Advisory Agreements and the MCM Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which Voya Investment Management Co. LLC (“Voya,” and, together with MCM, the “Sub-Advisers”) coordinates the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets Corporate Bond Fund.

The Independent Trustees requested, and WTAM provided, such information as the Independent Trustees, with advice from independent legal counsel, deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the Agreements. At a meeting of a committee of Independent Trustees (the “Contracts Review Committee”) held on August 3, 2017, representatives from WTAM presented preliminary information to the Trustees relating to the continuance of the Agreements, and the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, reviewed and discussed such information. Further information was presented at the Board’s request at the Meeting.

The Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel and met with counsel in executive session separate from WTAM representatives and the Sub-Advisers. In considering the renewal of the Agreements, 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 Provided to the Funds.

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 Funds, recognizing WTAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operational capabilities and resources. The Board also discussed the role of WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (“WTI”), the parent of WTAM, as index provider to certain Funds, which comprise the substantial majority of assets in the WisdomTree fund complex. The Board noted that the strategies represented by those Funds tracking affiliated WTI indexes are unique, based on WTI’s intellectual property and are only available for use by applicable Funds through WTAM. The Board noted WTAM’s belief that shareholders have invested in such Funds on the strength of WTI’s intellectual property and WTAM’s industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that WTAM will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Funds based on the WTI indexes. The Board also noted the extensive responsibilities that WTAM has as investment adviser to the Funds, including: the selection of, and supervisory responsibilities and activities over, the Sub-Advisers, including oversight of the Sub-Advisers’ adherence to each Fund’s investment strategy and restrictions, monitoring of the Sub-Advisers’ buying and selling of securities and derivatives transactions, review of Sub-Adviser performance, review of proxies voted by the Sub-Advisers and oversight of, and the provision of consultation to, the Sub-Advisers with respect to the creation of custom creation or redemption baskets for authorized participants; oversight of the daily valuation of the Funds’ portfolio holdings; oversight of general Fund compliance with federal and state laws; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. The Board also considered research support available to, and management capabilities of, the Funds’ management personnel and that WTAM provides oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting, tax matters, administration and legal assistance in meeting disclosure and regulatory requirements. Based on management’s representations, the Board expected that there would be no reduction in the scope of services required by or provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers under the relevant Agreements. The Board noted that WTAM has continued to commit significant resources toward the fund complex and has made substantial investments to improve the services offered by WTAM, which benefit Fund shareholders.

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 provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers under the Advisory Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements, respectively, are adequate and appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the renewal of the Agreements.

Comparative Analysis of the Funds’ Performance and Management Fee and Expense Ratio.

The Board reviewed reports prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data, which included information (1) measuring each index Fund’s performance by how well it tracked the

 

WisdomTree Currency Strategy, Fixed Income and Alternative Funds      145  


Table of Contents

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

 

relevant benchmark index (2) comparing, with respect to the actively-managed Funds, each Fund’s performance with the performance of a group of comparable funds (the “Performance Group”) for various periods ended May 31, 2017, and (3) comparing each Fund’s actual management fees and total expenses with those of a group of comparable funds (the “Expense Group”) and, with respect to total expenses, with a broader group of funds (the “Expense Universe”), the information for which was derived in part from fund financial statements available to Broadridge as of the date of its analysis. The Contracts Review Committee and the Independent Trustees previously had reviewed and discussed the methodology Broadridge used to select the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes. The Board noted that the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes included only pure-index and index-based exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) as comparison funds, except that the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes for the actively-managed Funds included either only actively-managed ETFs or a mix of actively-managed and passively-managed ETFs as comparison funds. The Board also noted that due to the special characteristics of certain Funds, there are limitations in providing comparable funds in the Performance Groups, Expense Groups and Expense Universes, and the information in the Broadridge reports may or may not provide meaningful direct comparisons to the Funds. The Board also reviewed reports prepared by WTAM presenting performance data for Funds with ten years of performance history and for WisdomTree indexes with at least three years of performance history that are tracked by an index Fund.

The Board discussed the index Funds’ performance, noting that the substantial majority of index Funds seek to track their own WisdomTree benchmark index. During the prior year, the Board received periodic reports on the Funds’ performance in comparison to their relevant benchmark indexes. The Board also discussed the performance of the actively-managed Funds and noted that total return performance of the Funds was variously above and below the relevant Performance Group medians for the time periods measured. In response to questions from the Independent Trustees, WTAM representatives discussed the relative performance of the Funds and the factors affecting such performance. On that basis, the Board determined to monitor carefully in the coming year disparities in performance — both positive and negative — but did not believe that the disparities in the past reflected any characteristics requiring immediate action by WTAM or a Sub-Adviser.

The Board also reviewed the range of actual management fees and total expenses of the Expense Group funds and, with respect to total expenses, Expense Universe funds, as well as the advisory fees and total expenses of certain funds not included in the Broadridge reports that WTAM considers to be significant competitors of the Funds, and discussed the results of the comparisons. With respect to comparisons of actual management fees, the Board noted the Funds’ unitary fee structure and that the Expense Groups and Expense Universes generally included both ETFs with and without a unitary fee structure. The Board also noted that certain comparison funds in certain Expense Groups and Expense Universes benefited from waivers of all or a portion of their management fees and reimbursement of certain operating expenses. The Board noted that the total expenses of many of the Funds were within five basis points of the median or average total expenses of the funds in the Funds’ respective Expense Groups. In those specific instances where a Fund’s total expenses departed more significantly from comparative funds, the Independent Trustees sought explanations from WTAM, which generally attributed the disparities to the limitations within peer data (including actively-managed Funds with a peer group that included index-based funds) and/or the unique attributes of a Fund.

The Board considered the fees to the Sub-Advisers in relation to the fees paid to WTAM by the Funds and the respective services provided by the Sub-Advisers and WTAM. The Board also noted that the Sub-Advisers’ fees are paid by WTAM (out of its fee paid by the relevant Funds) and not the Funds. The Board considered the meaningful differences in the services that WTAM provides to the Funds as compared to the Sub-Advisers, including that the role of a Sub-Adviser in making investment recommendations with respect to a Fund tracking an index is a rules-based function, with oversight by WTAM in seeking to ensure compliance with such rules. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial and expense risk borne by WTAM that is associated with the Funds’ unitary fee structure, which frequently includes minimum fees (such as those to a Sub-Adviser), regardless of whether the asset size of a Fund has grown to a sufficient size.

Based on this review and the other factors considered at the Meeting, the Board concluded that, with respect to each Fund, the Fund’s performance, the fees paid to WTAM and the relevant Sub-Adviser and the Fund’s total expenses supported the Board’s approval of the renewal of the relevant Agreements.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale.

WTAM representatives reviewed the expenses allocated and profit received by WTAM and the resulting profitability percentage for managing each Fund and the aggregate profitability percentage to WTAM for managing the WisdomTree fund complex, and the method used to determine the expenses and profit.

The Board considered the profitability analysis (1) as part of its evaluation of whether the fees under the Agreements bear a reasonable relationship to the mix of services provided by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers, including the nature, extent and quality of such services, and (2) in light of the relevant circumstances for each Fund and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. WTAM representatives noted that a discussion of economies of scale is predicated on a Fund having achieved a substantial size and that, if a

Table of Contents

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

 

Fund’s assets had been decreasing, the possibility that WTAM may have realized any economies of scale would be less. WTAM representatives also noted that, as a result of shared and allocated costs among the WisdomTree funds, the extent of economies of scale could depend substantially on the level of assets in the fund complex as a whole. The Board noted that certain Funds had grown rapidly over a relatively short period of time after longer periods of slow or no growth, during which there were years of losses for WTAM in managing such Funds that had only recently turned profitable and years of substantial cumulative losses to WTAM in managing the fund complex as a whole. WTAM representatives stated that there has been significant volatility in the assets of individual Funds and in the fund complex as a whole over time (including volatility in profitability) and that it was not clear that current asset levels will be maintained. WTAM representatives noted that assets in certain Funds have diminished at times at a rapid rate (including during the last year) and could continue to do so. WTAM representatives also noted that economies of scale currently are shared with the Funds by way of the unitary fee structure of the Trust, as well as through additional investment in the WisdomTree business. The Board noted that the Contracts Review Committee had focused on the issue of economies of scale during its meetings. The Board also noted that it would continue to monitor the sharing of economies of scale, focusing in particular on Funds that have experienced significant asset growth, to determine the appropriateness of adding breakpoints in the future. The Board also considered potential benefits to WTAM and the Sub-Advisers from acting as investment adviser and sub-investment advisers, respectively, and noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements in effect for trading the Funds’ investments. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the profitability results were consistent with the services rendered and service levels provided by WTAM and the entrepreneurial risk WTAM has undertaken over time.

*    *    *    *    *    *

At the conclusion of these discussions, the Board agreed that it had been furnished with sufficient information to make an informed business decision with respect to the renewal of the Agreements. In evaluating the Agreements, the Board considered the conclusions and determinations discussed above and also relied on its previous knowledge, gained through meetings and other interactions with WTAM and the Sub-Advisers, of the Funds and the services provided to the Funds by WTAM and the Sub-Advisers. The Board also relied on information received on a routine and regular basis throughout the year relating to the operations of the Funds and the investment advisory and other services provided under the Agreements. In light of the foregoing, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined to approve the renewal of the Agreements.

Consideration of the Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the WisdomTree CBOE Russell 2000 PutWrite Strategy Fund (the “Fund”)

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the WisdomTree Trust (the “Trust”) held on September 26-27, 2017, 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 Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. (“WTAM”) will provide the Fund with investment advisory services, and the Sub-Advisory Agreement (together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”), pursuant to which BNY Mellon Asset Management North America Corporation (the “Sub-Adviser”) will coordinate the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund.

In considering whether to approve the Agreements, the Trustees considered and discussed information and analysis provided by WTAM and Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., an independent provider of investment company data. The Trustees noted that representatives from WTAM presented preliminary information to the Trustees regarding the Fund’s proposed investment objective, index methodology and principal investment strategies and risks at a meeting of the Fund’s Investment Committee, a committee of Independent Trustees, held on June 13, 2017. The Trustees were assisted in their review by counsel to the Trust and independent legal counsel, and met with counsel in executive session separate from WTAM representatives and the Sub-Adviser. In considering the approval of the Agreements, 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 WTAM’s and the Sub-Adviser’s operational capabilities and resources. The Board noted WTAM’s belief that shareholders will invest in the Fund on the strength of WTAM’s industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that WTAM will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. The Board also noted the extensive responsibilities that WTAM will have as investment adviser to the Fund, including: the selection of, and supervisory responsibilities and activities over, the Sub-Adviser, including oversight of the Sub-Adviser’s adherence to the Fund’s investment strategy and restrictions, monitoring of the Sub-Adviser’s buying and selling of securities and derivatives transactions, review of Sub-Adviser performance, review of proxies voted by the Sub-Adviser and oversight of, and the provision of consultation to, the Sub-Adviser with respect to the creation of custom creation or redemption baskets for authorized participants; oversight of the daily valuation of the Fund’s portfolio holdings; oversight of general Fund

compliance with federal and state laws; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Fund. The Board also considered research support available to, and management capabilities of, the Fund’s management personnel and that WTAM will provide oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting, tax matters, administration, compliance and legal assistance in meeting disclosure and regulatory requirements.

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 WTAM and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, are adequate and appropriate and supported the Board’s approval of the Agreements.

Comparative Analysis of the Fund’s Performance, Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses.

As the Fund had not yet commenced operations, the Board was not able to review the Fund’s performance. The Board discussed with WTAM representatives 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 WTAM and the Sub-Adviser.

The Board considered the fees to be paid to WTAM by the Fund. The Board examined the fee to be paid by the Fund in light of fees paid to other investment advisers by comparable funds and the method of computing the Fund’s fee. The Board noted the proposed fee waiver arrangements. The Board also considered the fee to be paid to the Sub-Adviser in relation to the fee to be paid to WTAM by the Fund and the respective services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser and WTAM. The Board also noted the Sub-Adviser’s fee will be paid by WTAM (out of its fee paid by the Fund) and not the Fund. The Board considered the meaningful differences in the services that WTAM will provide to the Fund as compared to the Sub-Adviser, including that the role of the Sub-Adviser in making investment recommendations with respect to the Fund is a rules-based function, with oversight by WTAM in seeking to ensure compliance with such rules. The Board also considered the entrepreneurial and expense risk to be borne by WTAM that is associated with the Fund’s unitary fee structure, which includes minimum fees (such as those to the Sub-Adviser), regardless of whether the asset size of the Fund grows to a sufficient size. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to WTAM and the Sub-Adviser supported the Board’s approval of the Agreements.

Analysis of Profitability and Economies of Scale.

As the Fund had not yet commenced operations, WTAM representatives were not able to review the dollar amount of expenses allocated and profit received by WTAM, or any economies of scale. The Board considered potential benefits to WTAM and the Sub-Adviser from acting as investment adviser and sub-adviser, respectively. The Board also considered the uncertainty of the estimated asset levels and the renewal requirements for advisory agreements and their ability to review the advisory fees annually after the initial term of the Agreements. The Board determined that because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, economies of scale were not a factor, but, to the extent in the future it were determined that material economies of scale had not been shared with the Fund, the Board would seek to have those economies of scale shared with the Fund in connection with future renewals.

*    *    *    *    *    *

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

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 only by Authorized Participants in large creation unit sizes of shares.
